Plus, they sold out a large percentage of their games last year and with an up and coming team, they should have no problems with revenue.michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13380455336745873216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456872385016392019.post-2291583484754478232008-04-23T14:30:00.000-07:002008-04-23T14:30:00.000-07:00Blazers won't be leaving Portland.

Paul Allen is actually a decent owner in that regard. <BR/><BR/>He owns the Rose Garden again, after working it through bankruptcy (if you can imagine Paul Allen delaring bankruptcy). <BR/><BR/>My guess is, you don't vote against the Sonics moving on the NBA BOG and then move your team. <BR/><BR/>TV markets would change and most of Seattle would be watching Blazerball on Fox Sports and listening to it on the radio. Allen gets the 13-15th largest media market by default. <BR/><BR/>Why would he move the Blazers to an older arena that doesn't have the sweetheart deal?keepkalmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722691655858182320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456872385016392019.post-46535969375763502242008-04-23T13:18:00.000-07:002008-04-23T13:18:00.000-07:00When's the Trailblazers' lease up in Portland?I su...When's the Trailblazers' lease up in Portland?<BR/><BR/>I suspect that Mr. Allen will move them up the free way to the big city if this all goes the way it seems to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
