The memphis tigers? Are you fukking kidding me?
Milwaukee Bucks sold for $550 million
- Thread starter clouddd
- Start date
its simple why they didn't
gores owns the palace out right, the palace wasn't built with public money.
why share when you can reap all the products
The Lakers don't pay rent at Staples Center but pay an undisclosed percentage of their games' ticket sales to the arena.
However, both the Warriors and Phoenix Suns pay rent to their government-owned arenas.
The Warriors' rent obligation is $1.5 million a year (about $36,500 for each regular-season game).
nope
memphis tigers are more popular than the grizzlies
same with how marquette basketball is more popular than milwaukee bucks
Even Stern admitted they messed up by moving the Grizzlies from Vancouver, too bad I don't see Vancouver ever getting another shot soon
Well the Bucks could possibly relocate and for some of these cities their pro teams mean everything. NY is still the sh*t no matter what their sports teams are doing. LA, Chicago, Miami as well. the teams just add to the city but it doesn't make the city. Sac needs the Kings, that's all they have. The people there will even tell you that. Cleveland needs the Browns. OKC wanted a pro team badly to help the city's image. Same with Memphis years ago. I grew up in Fresno- Fresno State is everything and the only thing there. Hey maybe Milwaukee and these other towns should be using tax money on roads, schools, and community programs- I agree but pro teams in these towns IS their identity and they treat it as such. Somebody in Milwaukee is probably thinking a new arena could start a whole new movement in the city on some "we need some new shyt to feel good about ourselves and stick our chests out". Other cities think different brehthey all get used in the same manner. Like I said, it's politics. They want an arena to redevelop areas that quite frankly don't need to be redeveloped. I remember the Knicks wanted a new arena across the street and the Jets wanted a West Side stadium (this was when the Yankees, Nets and Mets were getting greenlit for their venues) and they were bidding for the Olympics. You had Bloomberg down for it, not because Giants Stadium was ass or because MSG was old or because the Jets wanted their own venue. He wanted it to redevelop a swanky as fukk area in midtown Manhattan. No new Yorker bought that lie and now, the only way you can build a venue out here is if you fit the bill. I wish other cities had that ability tosuch proposals, but they don't.
How many downtown areas in the country REALLY need to be rebuilt and redeveloped?
the grizzlies were horrible and were still averaging a good amount of fans, stern allowed heisley to leave like a thief in the night just like he did bennett.
Vancouver is now a world class city that has hosted a olympics and is a top 10 city in the world and top 5 in terms of needing money to live in
Vancouver won't get another shot just like montreal won't for baseball, that's money out of the owners pockets in national tv deals

there is nothing wrong with the bradley center just because it isnt swanky and new.
the whole need a new arena or else to me is laughable if milwaukee was a major market silver wouldn't have said anything at all.
bradley center opened in 1988, same year as the palace and kings arena, two years before the target center . Within 6 years of openning, utah, phoenix, cleveland, chicago opened their arenas and are still using them to this day.
silver says "small size"
its bigger than 9 nba arenas.
new arenas are usless unless the old arena is horrible and in the middle of nowhere, and now your making a swanky new arena downtown with like condos, convention center, new subway stuff and a vote agreed from tax payers.
its better to just renovate
Yeah, that arena is like 30 years old or some shyt
No, they fukkin arent...you have no idea and are making hat up from your canadian basement with no accurate perspective. You could maybe let us know whos more popular between the montreal allouettes and the rough riders....

Stadiums built in the 80s missed the boat. All the technological advances forced changes everywhere and sports is such a cash cow that you have to keep up with the times. Look at the stadiums currently built and in use. Most of them now are no older than 25 years old and the ones that are like Lambeau, Fenway, Wrigley, etc. are either steeped in history or get renovated annually.

Congrats on the #1 pick Bucks 
alouettes and rough riders aren't even in the same city, why don't you show me facts that the grizzlies are more popular in memphis than the tigers?
1. memphis tigers regularly sold out the pyramid - Memphis tigers didn't
2. memphis tigers are regulary top ten in college basketball attendance - memphis grizzlies have never been top 10 ever in the nba.
Research ranked the memphis tigeers men's basketball program as the 14th most prestigious in modern college basketball
memphis tigers have been a integral part of memphis since 1920, memphis grizzlies don't even have 15 years in the community
how many nba teams can move to a city and have adaqeute seating to use that college arena for basketball games how many?
I hear the Bradley Center is crap. It looks so dark on television. Of course it would help ten fold of they had a better team
