Here We Build

They are going to have to establish a trust account and should hire some third-party, bonded fiduciary. It could be set up, so that if the plan does not work out, people can have their donation refunded.
I pledged $500, but if they really get this going I could donate more in a couple of months time.

I got my pledge in as well.. If I think this can actually take off then of course I will put in a lot more. I would have no problem offering my season ticket fund for a year towards building an arena.
As long as I can get season tickets when the arena opens
I am sure there will be more than 900 or so that Anaheim has on their list. I would imagine we would have approx 10-13k season tickets easy in the first year even if the team is bad.

I'm afraid to sound like a Debbie Downer but they way thiis movement is going, I have pledged $10 for a vague idea. The idea has never been spelled out and won't be spelled out until a critical mass of money is pledged. Perhaps there is no other way of doing it but I kinda doubt it.
I have a huge number of questions. Done right, I'd donate $1000. If given part ownership in a group that is a part owner (did you follow that because I'm not trying to be witty) I might put in $10,000. I am not rich but I would bet $1 that many people would feel in a similar way.
I wrote to Carmichael Dave and apparently didn't say the magic words. I wanted to know if there was any more specific plan in place. He simply responded with "I don't know what you are talking about" kind of answer. I hope somebody knows what they are talking about or this is a huge hoax played on the fans and I'm tired of disappointment.

Yah I wouldn't at all.. Like I said though, if I could get on the list to get a good seat for my season tickets I would be willing to give the Arena fund whatever the total for next seasons season ticket prices will be. I had planned on getting them next year after taking a couple years off from being a season ticket holder because of finances. I would be willing to catch 15-20 games in person in random seats instead of the 41 I was planning if the arena could be built.
I think in the end the people are going to have to get it done though since nobody with any power wants to just DO IT. It's quite annoying that we can get this grass roots thing going and the friggin city drags their feet for 10 years. I don't even want to be a part "owner" either. I don't care.. I just want the Kings here and am willing to spend 1000s of dollars to keep them here as well as countless more 1000s to watch them when they stay, as well as my whole family pretty much. Between all of us (my family) we must have spent $100,000 on anything Kings since the Maloofs have taken over.

Isn't comcast in SoCal too? Or do you all use a different cable provider? It's pretty intrenched up here as the main cable provider. Comcase has even gone into the most rural of areas between Elk Grove, and Galt now. My parents have cable internet (they still use DirecTv for television) and they live off of Grantline Road way out in the middle of nowhere. I hope Comcast gives them a good deal so the Maloofs got something to think about up here.
Here's my problem: all I know is that in some way pledges will build an arena. Is this an arena with the Kings or the pie in the sky idea that the city should have an arena without an anchor tenant. Why should I donate much less some one from New York. Why should I benefit the City of Sacramento?
What has been raised sounds nice but it is nothing. Without a more substantial plan, people with money who actually can make a difference are going to sit on the side lines.

I have 2nd thoughts about the idea. Not sure this should be anything the city should be involved in. At the rally, many ideas were brought up and most seemed to take it out of the City's hands and try to make the idea more inclusive of the area or keep it private. Anyone can contact an ex-player if they know what to say. I can't see people donating whatever the goal is but I can see them investing. BTW, what is the monetary goal? Does anyone know?
I'm writing to NBA owners. That's enough.
My question to you is why don't you do it?
