    Team reaches deal on arena lease with Oklahoma City


    OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The Seattle SuperSonics and Oklahoma City reached a preliminary agreement on a lease at the Ford Center, pending NBA approval of the team's move.

    The deal calls for the club to pay the city $1.6 million annually for use of the building and reimburse $409,000 per year to replace revenue from naming rights.

    The agreement calls for a 15-year term, but has an exit clause after the sixth year if revenues fall from the first two years after the Ford Center's renovations are completed.

    About $40K/home game, sounds like a sweetheart deal.

    $40K/19K seats = $2/seat rented, for ticket prices that average over $25?. I'll take that deal.
