If sufficient loading dock space is a problem there is plenty of room to add more. If more space is needed for pre/post event activities there is plenty of room to add it.

As for this proposal, if the Thunder didn't exist what improvements would be needed? Let the City pay for those. For improvements that primarily benefit the Thunder, let them pay for that. If in X years they decide to walk away ftom their investment then that is a business decision for them to make. It certainly doesn't stop them from telling the taxpayers to do that be imploding the current arena.

If the Thunder want to build a giant mixed use complex, there is vacant land right across the street.
And it seems to me the proposal WILL include a private portion from the Thunder ownership, though I’m sure you’ll say it isn’t enough.
