Do you seriously think she would ever say anything negative about the new coach, no matter who it was? |
No, I wasn't expecting her to be negative. It was clear to me from the previous article she wasn't feeling Klop and wanted to go a different direction. I'm just pointing how effusive she was being. I have a feeling she had a lot of input into this hire.

I think it just shows that she's a good teammate, committed to the organization and trying to make things work for the best. I wouldn't read a lot more than that into it.

There's a state league here that runs during our winter/your summer that she plays in. She was set to participate in that again until the training camp invite came through.

In the story I saw, it said "Demolition will begin in the fall of 2018" -- so it looks like the Storm will need a new home for a couple of years. Is Hec Edmundson on the UW campus viable?

The Hec Edmundson is probably their best option. Still in Seattle and holds 10,000. Otherwise they'd probably be forced to play at the Tacoma Dome, which is about an hour south of Seattle.

It's a bit frustrating that the front office has been working on this and very much likes this plan (as opposed to the SODO one) but they haven't communicated at all with the fans who will be impacted.
Reading the brief, it sounds like we will get the 2018 season at the Key and the 2019 and 2020 seasons elsewhere. This would include the 2019 and 2020 Pac-12 tournaments. Hec-Ed would be the most obvious choice but its seating is much poorer than Key Arena so many of us courtside fans will be screwed. The entire area on the side by the teams is backless bench seating and is horribly uncomfortable. The only other facility that could possibly handle 8000+ is the Tacoma Dome (please god no). Showare Center could only handle 7000 or less.

Comcast Arena is big enough.

Comcast Arena is barely big enough and it's in Everett. With so many people driving up from the south already it would be a terrible idea to make them drive further through that traffic zone.

Storm Statement on KeyArena Redevelopment

Quote: |
This is an exciting day for the City of Seattle; a vibrant sports city with passionate fans. We are thrilled Mayor Durkan and the City Council are moving forward with a world-class arena at Seattle Center, the future home of our two-time WNBA Champions. We are grateful for our continued partnership with the City and look forward to working with the Oak View Group throughout this process. |

The point is that your statement that the Tacoma dome is the "only other facility" - not whether or not you think it's a terrible idea.
Exactly how many people drive from the north and from the south?

Point taken, you are correct.
I know people who drive from Olympia, Lacey, Puyallup and Kent. Don't know of anyone who drives in from the north. The Stormcrazies facebook page also had a bunch of folks mentioning they drive in from the south.

I'd be really surprised if they went somewhere other than Hec Ed.
