That's the eternal question.
FR,
Great...BB,<br /><br />That's the eternal question. <br /><br />FR,<br /><br />Great to hear from you! I agree -- the Wolves would be a lot more sympathetic if they'd actually put a competitive team on the court, but it's been what, six years now?<br /><br />Gino,<br /><br />Heh. Two things -- (a) the Wolves have done that before, since they played in the Metrodome before Target Center was completed; and (b) Los Angeles has already taken away one NBA franchise from the Twin Cities, and I think they've reached their quota.Mr. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920907647566015611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-43233902126983721892011-02-02T17:24:48.386-06:002011-02-02T17:24:48.386-06:00maybe the wolves can play bball in the new footbal...maybe the wolves can play bball in the new football stadium los angeles is close to building?Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-63248057000269559472011-02-02T14:25:45.158-06:002011-02-02T14:25:45.158-06:00Having heard some execs from the Wolves talk about...Having heard some execs from the Wolves talk about this subject recently, they seem to be operating under the assumption that a new Vikings stadium is (eventually) a done deal and in true 1-on-1 b-ball fashion, have "called" next. <br /><br />Target Center hasn't seen any real improvements since it was built, but the shoddy work on the court, not in the stands. Fans aren't going to care how suped up the arena is when the team can't win more than 20 a year. <br /><br />I do have <i>slightly</i> more sympathy for the Wolves' situation. They're asking their landlord (Minneapolis) to fix/upgrade their rental while the Vikings are essentially asking their landlord (the taxing authority of the state) to pony up an entirely new property. Nevertheless, the Wolves look as tone deaf as ever by their timing.First Ringernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-9429322644037185582011-02-02T08:28:28.281-06:002011-02-02T08:28:28.281-06:00Who wants to watch a bunch of crooks play a kids&#...Who wants to watch a bunch of crooks play a kids' game to begin with? :^)Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.com
