Decision to Move

We all saw it coming, so I can't say I'm suprised.

The Comets
announced this week that they will move from the A-List Toyota Center to the Z-List Reliant Arena (yes, that's where they hold the dog show... the gun and gem shows).

Hilton Koch has this to say:

"We are very excited that Reliant Arena will be the new home for the (Comets). As an organization, our goal is to provide Comets fans with a phenomenal in-arena experience [read: high school gymnasium feel] while at the same time maximizing the team's long-term growth potential [read: continuing existence].

Reliant Arena's smaller venue [capacity of 5,800... which should be an easy sell and make every game a sell-out... but it's Reliant, so I'd expect about half that] will be a great setting for our boisterous fans and will help create a powerful home-court advantage."

Sad.
