The local basketball team, the Seattle SuperSonics, might be relocating to Oklahoma City after the current season, so we wanted to be sure and see them while they were still here. Tickets for the games were pretty cheap, I think we paid like $20 total for both of us to attend the game. The Sonics play at Key Arena, which is probably about a mile away from where we live, so we decided to walk there. The walk was enjoyable and we got to the game in time. I think we sat close to our assigned seats, but there were plenty of empty seats, too. The arena was slightly more than half full (attendance was about 11,000 out of 17,000), which was somewhat impressive considering how bad the Sonics are. If the Sonics move to Oklahoma City, which is a metropolitan area less than half the size of Seattle, I'm not sure how they'll sell enough tickets.
Anyway, I'm not a huge basketball fan, but the game was pretty competitive for most of the time. However, in the fourth quarter the Sacramento Kings got ahead and stayed ahead, so there wasn't the exciting ending that there could have been. Still, I'm glad we went, it was pretty fun and I'm glad we got to do it.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

The Hornets sold out all their games in OKC when they played there. Not having any pro sports teams in the area helps a lot.
