The Monarchs (and Kings) aren't the only pro teams who might relocate if they don't get a new or expanded venue: there's now an arena hassle in Seattle.

Sonics/ Storm exec Terry McLaughlin wants to renegotiate the KeyArena, and soon: "We can't deal with that problem later. We need some decision immediately." The teams have supposedly lost $58 mil over the past five years.

Seattle City Councilman Nick Licata: "I think that there is a significant difference between making KeyArena work for the public and subsidizing the Sonics." (And the Storm.)
