Although I'm pretty sure Mick Cornett said the tax would not be implemented if the NBA didn't come, many of those improvements would be really nice to have even if we don't get an NBA team. I was told a lot of people at the Big Twelve Tournament commented on how much they liked having side by side men's and women's games, but how subpar our arena was compared to American Airlines. After this year, they'll have the Sprint Center with which to compare it. I think, if we want to compete for events like the Big Twelve Championship games, it would be helpful to have an upgraded arena. And events like that pay off that kind of investment really quickly.
