Just the tip!
He likely concluded that he did not need a arena to build condo. Hell that usually where the real money is at anyway.

I believe you are right about that, Tommy. This is going to be major news once it hits the news cycle. Daniels has picked the tweet up already and I'd expect more of that throughout the day.
Vulcan also runs Portland's Blazers, tommy, remember the Seahawks/Sounders officially are Vulcan properties, that's why they cannot be an interested party in Seattle's NBA bid....
Correct, Hutch, and there has never been any reported interest by Allen in a Seattle NBA bid, although I will say that if he wanted to sell the Blazers to facilitate such an exercise, there's plenty of bigwigs down in the Rose City (Nike, Reebok, et.al.) that would probably be interested in snapping them up.....PCS, any thoughts?
I should add Sounders too when back they were joint ran by the same group.
Snowvalley, Allen would also have to sell the arena too. I doubt Allen is going sell portland/arena to be in Seattle.
Seahawks/sounders split some time after Tod Leiweke left Seattle to join the Tampa Bay lighting. Vulcan no longer runs the sounders. I was just saying at some point in the past years ago Tod Leiweke was CEO/preisdent of Seahawks and sounders.

I'd anticipate he'd be able to find interested takers in that if he so desired.....Oak View????
why would OVG win the rights to retrofit Key and then bolt to MODA Center, because isn't the eventual plan to restore the Sonics once the effort to launch hockey in Seattle passes....?

For those who were assigned ticket numbers for the NHL Seattle.
I completed the process at 10:06 am and got a number in the mid 15oo's . Just curious to learn what others got.

OVG can't majority own the NBA/NHL teams but that doesn't mean they can't operate multiple arenas in portland case own MODA center. I don't see it happening. Allen isn't going to sell the portland NBA and the arena.
Note Key arena post rebuild will still be own by the city.
the point is... once hockey gets settled in out there, the focus by Bonderman likely is returning the Sonics as a co-tenant, even though the Storm will start that way when Seattle starts its hockey team in 2021

Not Nike. Not adidas (who owns Reebok). They're too busy making money off league-wide contracts to buy teams for Portland. Phil Knight has all but said (long after he had a small interest in the Arizona Diamondbacks) that he feels "sports franchise owner" is not his niche and just won't consider it.
Timbers owner Merritt Paulson may be the point man of a consortium that has previously offered to buy the Blazers. Paulson would not be the main money man as I understand it. The offer was most prevalent when Allen had his last lymphoma bout. Such talk has been dormant for a couple years now, but I wouldn't be surprised if it resurfaces at some point. Thing is... whomever buys the Blazers also has to buy Moda Center. That might be a loaded proposition.
NFL COO Tod Leiweke steps down, expected to join brother on NHL Seattle team
Announcement coming April for the executive team for the NHL team.

I got ~2,800 and my original email confirmation came at 10:10.
Pending where you are. Im in North Seattle and getting from Northgate to downtown (~10 miles) takes about an hour anytime after 12pm. Light rail will help when it get there in 2 years.

If they really wanna get up Canucks fans noses early on with the rivalry that
is sure to be a good one.... hire Mike Keenan as GM.... Mark Messier as Coach.
