^ that description sounds kinda like NOLA, lol.
My opinion on the Kings potentially moving is and always has been "**** the Maloofs."

I feel like this is old news that got shot down a while back. IDK could be wrong.

It's a relatively big, relatively isolated market. Most of the big markets are saturated or there is worry about over saturation of a region.
Tom Ziller wrote this today. It is real, or at least enough people have convinced him.
I have a ton of respect for him, and I take anything he says about the Kings particularly very seriously. -

our Hurricane issue more or less compares to a dog peeing on your leg

I lived there for 5 years before going to Bama. It would be a great move IMO. Not just Va. Beach, people from Norfolk, Chesapeake, heck maybe even Portsmouth, Hampton, and Newport News would all support the team. Just Va Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake combined (all extremely close to each other) is a bigger market a lot half the league.

the location of where they want to build the arena is right near the Va beach/Norfolk line so it wouldn't be to bad. I also say as a Norfolk resident on and off for the past 20 plus years and currently living smack in the middle of down town i am thank full the team isn't coming to Norfolk

IIRC the city council etc met yesterday with there proposals along with big wig from comcast. they are proposing a hotel/restaurant (I think) tax to help with cost and also money from comcast with the state footing the rest. I know there is a vote in march.Quote:
