Valiant Partners of San Francisco have purchased a little more than three acres of land just south of Safeco Field in the SoDo area. There is a lot of speculation as to what the land will be used for, but sources say the land may be used to construct a stadium that would help Seattle in its efforts to bring NBA and NHL teams to the region.
Meanwhile, Rep. Mike Hope continues his efforts to put together legislation in Olympia that would help the economy with new arena funding without taxing the public.

You're in the Front Row is a fun and comprehensive guide that details 'insider information' on how to break into the world of sports in a vast array of professional and collegiate capacities, including how to get your foot in the door. the book includes many Sonics memories including a featured chapter on Spencer Haywood, with first-hand recollections from Lenny Wilkens and Gar Heard about Woody's initial on-the-court, in-the-court NBA season in Seattle. |
