Rally Downtown next Tuesday, 5-8pm. "Huge Surprise Appearance"

#35
I am assuming funding for the arena is in place or something.. Which could also mean that the ICON thing, once done, could start the design phase and maybe break ground by late summer?

That's my best case scenario lol.

Ok...IF it is anything remotely close to this^^^, I will be a sobbing, happy mess!! I truly believe that it could be Vlade...and that he too is involved with C-Webb in the arena effort. Damn anticipation!

Thought I'd throw in a guess. I just remember Dave saying he'd most likely be getting Tesla involved if a celebration event was hap'nin...
Oh **** that's it!!! It's Tesla and they're gonna play Love Song just like on the video from the final game... only with a new video about them staying and stuff!!!! Then probably play more songs and have a party... and maybe Vlade too... ok and black jerseys.

SERIOUSLY!?!?:mad:

I am not being ungrateful, but don't build up this great hype for Pollard and Christie.
I was really expecting and anticipating Oscar Robertson:eek:

Hmmm this surprises me. I had it on good authority that it was going to be Dwayne Schintzus and he was going to reveal his new Mullet, 2011 style.

That's awesome. I wish I could go to the rally :( Have fun to the ones from the board. Remember to post lots of pictures. Go Kings!!

-Cheers.

Right now there trying to find a bigger location because there expecting 10,000 plus people.
If that's the case C-Webb might HAVE to show up and just cancel his TNT gig. Would make a great story for TNT and Sac, and him.

Do it Webb!! Surprise visit! You gotta!!!

That party's gonna be nuts.... C Webb's gonna be jealous if he can't make it!! It's going to be a once in a lifetime rally.... second only to when the Kings win the title in 5 years.

Nah, I doubt Webb skips town on TNT, beings he's under contract and all. But if Doug and Scot are there, I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a couple of other big surprise guests, too. If they get 10,000 there...wow!

I have got to take some time off from work for this! I gotta be there. Nothing like spending some time with happy Kings fans. :)

They are supposed to announce the place tomorrow.

Watch there be like 50,000 people show up.

I could seriously see that happening.
I mean, I bet they could have got alot of that former Kings team if they didn't have prior commitments.

Peja and Bibby in playoffs, Barnes as well (though who wants the Lakers to win, honestly), Webb with his TNT contract...does anyone know what Vlade is up to these days?

I'm glad they get Doug Christie and Scott Pollard. Bobby J will probably be there too, so it's definitely a gift to the fans :)

Thanks. I haven't been near a computer all day. That's not a huge space, actually.
Yeah, I work downtown...and I know for a fact that you can't really fit more than maybe 5,000 or so there with vendors and other media booths set up. If they're expecting 10,000(and it actually happens)...wow, they're going to have to close down 9th St between I and J St or something to make more room.

I know, I know....it's Mike Peplowski!!.

Who can forget him swinging from the rim in the first home game after Bobby Hurley's near tragic accident?

Alright, enough of that. I would love nothing more than for it to be Burkle. Anyone else like CWebb or Slick Rick Adelman would be great but it wouldn't mean much as far as funding is concerned unless Webber comes out and says that he has enough to close a gap or something.

OTOH, Burkle is a one man show as far as funding or covering a funding gap is concerned. That would be awesome. I just don't see it though. I have to think the Maloofs are going to hold on to the very end.
