Loving the details


I liked the location but would rather see it close to the Space Needle. Honestly I'm happy with everything right now :lol:

The designs have really come a long way since November. I'm impressed...with everything. I wasn't a fan of the turbine in the beginning, but I love the newly added detail of it going all the way down to street level. Love the lighting effects, love the grassy area on the roof. Looks great.

In short: you liked everything. :lol:

I'm really dumb. Didn't notice the roof was supposed to look like a turbin.

The more the new arena design has been fleshed out, the more I've come to like it. What you call a turbine I called a flan dumped on a plate for someone's dessert. But the added details have made it seem more inviting and unique. It's a building I think the city will be proud of, which definitely sets it apart from KeyArena.

Personally, I have a much easier time getting to Mariners/Seahawks games than I do getting to Seattle Center from the East side [and when I'm working our Seattle office which is in Queen Anne and trying to get home it's a damned nightmare]. I'm not sure if that will hold true for a Sonics games after work but we'll see.

Well I only called it that because that's what they called it in the PowerPoint presentation. Ha!

Thanks bro I used to be Sonics-FAN around here before I changed my nickname for fantasy basketball purposes. :lol:

Here's a nice video of Fred Brown doing his thing back in the day.

The guy was awessome. A Ray Allen type of shooter. He can hit from everywhere.

Really wish it was going closer to the Key to liven up that side a little more. This move makes sense though.
