Sonics prepare scare for legislature
The Seattle SuperSonics are still pushing for a state-financed expansion of KeyArena, and with the Washington state legislature less than eager to take up the issue in its upcoming session, the team is turning up the heat. "We'll be in a very fast-track mode to find another arena if it doesn't work out," Sonics VP Terry McLaughlin told the Puget Sound Business Journal. "If we can't see that there's the possibility of redevelopment of KeyArena, we'll be forced to look at other alternatives, and other alternatives may not be local."
