njmeadowlanders Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I like it...and there's already a Kings name in use in the area anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoOakland9 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I don't think the NBA wanted three franchises in the bay area. I don't know why they'd keep stuffing Ellison's bids with the Kings now out of the picture.Sac wishes it was the bay area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw11333 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Not sure why they are so crazy about playing in Anaheim. When the Ducks were good and did sell out, the fans were always late to the game, and their game time is usually 7:30. Not to mention the Honda Center is not that much newer then Arco Arena.

Not to mention the Honda Center is not that much newer then Arco Arena.Biggest reason, TV money. And while Honda isn't that much newer than Arco, it's lightyears newer in the amenities department. It's like the difference between the Metrodome and Camden Yards in baseball. As for the fanbase, even the OC region alone is bigger than Sac and the Maloofs have made it clear they intend to branch out beyond just the OC.

Not to mention the Honda Center is not that much newer then Arco Arena.At least the Honda Center doesn't look like a 70's Brutalist-era office park building... I think it would be fine. Plus, don't comlain about the name, folks. Especially if you're in SoCal and you're not getting THREE teams from the same league in the same general area, just be happy with what comes. And if the Anaheim deal doesn't work (which more than likely it will) Missouri could use a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I know it wasn't going to happen, but I sort of had hope the Kings would go to Los Angeles, move the Clippers to Anaheim, then you've got the Kings in both the NHL and NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srj34 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 They can nip this problem in the bud forever if they just call themselves "The Royal Kings". Because I doubt any other team anywhere has the same name.Sure it's stupid, but it's charming stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDubK414 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Not good news for Bucks fans either. The Supreme Dictator of the Sovereign State of Wisconsin told their collective of the Board of Trustees of the Bradley Center, Herb Kohl, The Milwaukee Bucks, The Milwaukee Mustangs, The Milwaukee Admirals, Marquette University, and any concert, or special event can kiss his collective ass too. He just denied a 10 Million Dollar state grant to keep Milwaukee a competitive viable Major city. I blame politics for all of this bull! I know the real reason Das Fuhrer didn't want to give money to the BC. It's because a Democratic Senator owns the Bucks. It's all politics.

It's governments finally realizing taxpayers are in general fed up with sinking money into money pits like pro sports teams and their stadiums/arenas. If the rich boys with 9 billion dollars want to play, they can build their own pleasure palaces. Excess like Jerry Jones' monstrosity were likely the last straw for many people and the beginning of the end of an era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four teams with the same name within a decade or so, including three with the same name from 1937-39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're popular and own the longest playoff streak in sports history at 25 which just ended in the past 5 years so the on-ice success is there. Plus if the Hornets come to Missouri it would be KC and their 2-1/2 year old state of the art arena without a major tennant. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had switched back to Royals once they left for Sacramento then yeah. But they stayed Kings in another city that didn't have a Royals team. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
