If the team was doing well, and people wanted to go to the games, I think taxpayers would be more inclined to go for it. But, the team has sucked for years and tickets cost so much now that people can't afford the $120 it costs to see a game from halfway up the arena.
The Arena (formerly called the Seattle Coliseum) was completely renovated in 1995 for $120 million, $74 million of which was paid for by the citizens of Seattle. The team says it's outdated and they need a bigger place...but if they can't fill the seats in the current house, why should we build them a bigger one?!
