That didn't take long....

Talk about moving on. This press release from the city of Seattle ended up in SGB's mailbox. This is like putting up a match.com profile a week after filing divorce papers.

SEATTLE - With the immediate departure of the Seattle SuperSonics from KeyArena at Seattle Center, this premier concert and spectator events venue now boasts some of the best date availability nationally among metropolitan areas.

With over 15,000 seats, high tech audio and video capacity, first-class event management and client services, ample parking, and outstanding amenities, KeyArena offers an unsurpassed event experience.

Concert and event promoters will enjoy the choice of newly available dates, including highly desirable weekends, for multi-day events, touring shows, tour rehearsals, ice shows and family shows. They will find new special rates for family shows and access to an outstanding demographic range of young, affluent, boomer and family-oriented event goers. Corporate meeting planners also will find booking flexibility for major meetings and conventions.

KeyArena's status as the premier arena in the Seattle regional marketplace is well established, with the hottest touring shows on the calendar each year as well as our champion WNBA team, the Seattle Storm. This status is augmented by an advantage that no other arena can offer - that of being part of the 74-acre Seattle Center campus, a unique urban park with over 30 resident entertainment organizations, landscaped grounds, an abundance of outdoor attractions and a wide range of dining options within a five-minute walk.

Seattle Center's seasoned staff helps clients create successful events, from the initial contact with our booking department to on-campus and web-based promotions, event management and production.
