Seattle investor gets city approval for arena

The Seattle City Council and investor Chris Hansen have agreed on financial terms to build a new arena in the city.

Forlorn Sonics fans suddenly have reason for optimism -- the new arena could host both an NBA and NHL team once it's completed, Hansen announced the deal on his website SonicsArena.com, and the plan also calls for renovations of the Sonics' former home, KeyArena. As the Mayor of Seattle said on Monday, "We haven't gotten a team yet, but Sonics fans have a reason to smile today."

Who knows, the Sonics sucked balls for a while until Durant became a beast and they got lucky with a string of good draft picks.

They only had Durant for one season, and won 20 games that year...but the fans weren't even showing up for games to begin with, even after drafting him. Half of them were too busy pissed off that the Sonics didn't draft Greg Oden.
