Sonics, KeyArena bleed red
Sagging attendance puts team in hole and costs city millions

By ANGELO BRUSCAS
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER

Once touted as a "win-win" benchmark in professional sports financing, the deal between Seattle and its NBA franchise has collapsed into a sea of red ink for both parties in less than 10 years.

A report on KeyArena shows that the Sonics' sagging attendance over the past four years has cost the city more than $3.4 million, which had to be taken from other city funds to repay bonds on construction. The city is projected to be $2.8 million short on the bond debt service for 2004.

KeyArena lost $2.2 million in 2002, $1.4 million in 2003 and is projected to lose $1.7 million this year, according to the report, by Dwight Dively, director of the city's Department of Finance.
