From an outsiders POV ( never been to Sac or Cali for that matter ) Why cant the kings move into an arena that already exists. Whats stopping them from moving into the arena in Anaheim for the time being until the economy gets better and arena can be built ( I know some here hate that idea, but what if its that or nothing ). There is NO way a new arena can be built with the economy how it is right now unless its privately funded .. its just not going to happen.
Also - do the kings have to file a movement claim if there moving within the same state?
Ive obviously never been to Arco, but is must be falling apart if it literally cannot hold events anymore .. something has to happen soon and I rather see the Kings stay in California than move anywhere else.
Arco isn't literally falling apart, it's just becoming inadequate for large-scale events. It is suboptimal to be sure, but don't get the idea that it is incapable of continuing to hold NBA games while a new arena is (hopefully!) being built. The fact that the NCAA refused to return the tourney to Arco reflects that suboptimality aspect -- not that the roof is falling in.
In any case, a temporary move makes pretty much no sense unless a new arena were to be built on the site of the current Arco, and it had to be torn down for construction, leaving us with no arena at all. Otherwise, why move temporarily?
