We're Back!

Breaking news out of Seattle, WA is that the once lost Sonics are now back in town. They have moved in to a top tier arena down on the Waterfront in the heart of Seattle.

They will once again be known as the Seattle Sonics. The relocation and renaming fees are speculated to be around $60,000,000 while the cost of the new arena has been speculated to come in at a whopping $600,000,000. It is actually believed to have cost considerably more than that but the naming rights have made up the difference with the Sonic fast food chain gobbling them up.

This new arena will be known as...

Sonic ThunderDome

Welcome back to Seattle!

Approved.

sponsors will NOT affect stadium price and money returns, that was more just me having fun.

The Utah Rocky Mountains are charged 10M for the name change.

welcome to the newly named rocky mountains!
