Is the 40 acres of parking lot in the room with us right now?
urbanist slop hq@SlopHq
every baseball stadium built after 1990 is surrounded by forty acres of parking lot that sits empty 280 days a year and we call this "economic development." wrigley is in a neighborhood. fenway is in a neighborhood. the sport was better when the stadiums were to

@poptartcaliber @SlopHq Have you been? There are Multiple level parking structures on the north and south sides. Thousands of parking spots.

@SlopHq There's is no parking in Seattle but thanks for playing.

@EdTapia @samggwfuv You can't tell from that image if he has actually touched it with his hands. That isn't definitive proof without zooming in

YANKEE STADIUM GOES CRAZY AS THE REFEREE DOES NOT AWARD A PENALTY AND RED TO INTER MIAMI’S GK
GK, Dwayne St. Clair appears to be outside the box when handling the ball, which would be a red card and penalty

Nobody needs your permission to recognize our own history. Whether it's on paper or not, it's ours. And will never be yours.
So with all due respect, go screw yourself. You arrogant jackass

If Sonics want history back, Seattle owes Thunder an apology (via @The_ThunderWire): okcthunderwire.usatoday.com/story/sports/n…

@choeshow Classic suburban losers wanting Seattle to deal with society’s problems.

NEW: The Bellevue community watch is back!
Monday evening, these brave volunteers stopped two homeless drug addicts from ransacking the QFC grocery store in the Crossroads neighborhood.
Witnesses say a WHITE male and female with a dog tried to take off with packs of ground beef. No cops showed. 🧵👇

The lawyer for (now former) Alabama Basketball star Aden Holloway says that the 2.1 pounds of marijuana he had were strictly for personal consumption.
Nick Kelly@_NickKelly
Just spoke with Jason Neff, who is representing Aden Holloway. They're still gathering info. Neff: "What we've learned so far, even though it was a large quantity of marijuana, it's personal use on his part. Sounds like there's no evidence of drug distribution or sales."

@ClayTravis @stephenasmith The GDP of Seattle metro is 3X Nashville. 🤡🤡🤡

Seattle and Las Vegas are in line to get new NBA teams, @stephenasmith says Nashville should be in the NBA mix too. He’s right. But I think MLB will be next to come to Nashville. My bet is Salt Lake City and Nashville get MLB teams in a few years.

@mrtommygman @mhkinsvoice They built CPA for concerts. I think Seattle is getting an NBA team but don’t think CPA is the long term venue. Whoever owns the team will want to own the arena. Not sure if Bonderman’s daughter has enough money to also get an NbA team.
English
@JonBlueFC @mhkinsvoice The CPA at least has had space specifically earmarked within the building for an NBA locker room, and you’d like to hope and think that wasn’t done just for fun.
English
If this is legit, then I really hope that Tod Leiweke and Samantha Holloway from the Kraken have their ducks in a row and are ready to make this happen.
$7-10 billion is a lot…. 😐
Dave “Softy” Mahler@Softykjr
Don't blame any Sonics fan for feeling skeptical.... But this is happening. They're coming back. It's time to make preparations.
English
@mrtommygman @mhkinsvoice I don’t think the owners want to fill CPA dates with NBA games. Now that the city is off the hook for key arena, only the port opposes Sodo and the port has less clout after moving so many jobs to Tacoma.
English
@mhkinsvoice At the very least, if/when the NBA formally votes to a start a process for Vegas and Seattle (as Shams laid out), then I really hope there’s an announcement from the Kraken people about who the NBA owners will be.
Because the path of least resistance is Seattle Center.

The Sonics moving from Seattle to Oklahoma City in 2008 and the potential move of the Kings to Seattle in 2013 triggered litigation and threatened litigation. Seattle is ranked 12th or 13th in media/TV market size with a big fan base. It's odd they've been without an NBA team for 18 years, but it looks like that is finally being corrected:
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Just in: The NBA will hold a vote at the Board of Governors meetings March 24-25 to explore adding expansion teams exclusively in Las Vegas and Seattle, with the two franchises targeted for the 2028-29 season, sources tell ESPN. There is momentum for stakeholders to approve surveying what industry executives project will be bids in the $7-to-$10 billion range for each team.

@choeshow @NickHanauer He has lived in London for years. Doubt taxes are lower there.

NEW: Sources are telling me the virtue signaling hypocrite Nick Hanauer has exited WA due to high taxes and has re-domiciled himself to Malta, a tax haven, which is ironic on many levels.
@NickHanauer if my sources are wrong, come out publicly and deny it. We’re on your trail.
Brian Heywood - That Damn Mormon@bkheywood
Some may wonder who @NickHanauer is while others might wonder where he is… I don’t know much except that he spouted off a lot about the need for an income tax and he actually donated $500K to stop the repeal of the capital gains tax. He also squealed really loud when Jay Inslee proposed a wealth tax before he left…. Nick, did you leave the state, after virtue signaling your love of all things taxes?????

It was an Iranian misfired missile, you dumb cunts. How does American media consistently share propaganda from Hamas, Iran, places where there is zero free press at all? It’s malpractice.

The toll from a strike on a girls’ elementary school in Minab, Iran, has risen to 57 students dead and 60 others injured, according to Iran's semiofficial Tasnim News Agency, which cited the local governor. Follow live updates: abcnews.link/9iPXPAh
