"It (would be) the only pro franchise in the state. There's enormous enthusiasm for the NBA. There's not the dilution of the broad entertainment activities in this marketplace. "The Sonics would be an iconic event for Oklahoma City," he said. "It would get the focus and support of people statewide and become an important event not just for sports, but for social and economic development." 基本上球队老板跟西雅图市政府僵持不下，官方说在上个老板 Schultz 任内已经提 供了三个解决方案，原则上与升级原有的 Key Arena 有关，而这三个解决方案依然 在谈判桌上；然而 Bennett 不喜欢那些提案，他想要透过私人资金挹注盖新场馆， 先前 Bennett 提出以 300M 税收在 Renton 盖新球场的议案被州议会否决了。 Bennett 不喜欢升级方案的原因： Bennett doesn't appear interested in such proposals, however, and any KeyArena funding package would be complicated by the passage of Initiative 91 by Seattle voters last November. The initiative requires that the city earn a cash profit equal to or greater than a current 30-year U.S. Treasury Bill on any new arena lease involving a pro sports organization. "That's certainly a challenge and something that would need to be addressed in any potential deal," said Marty McOmber, a spokesman for Nickels' office. 十月三十一号是 Bennett 自己订立的死线，事情如果还没解决，那我们下个球季就得改 支持奥克拉荷马超音速队了。 --
