yeah, Louisville seems like a better place for a basketball team. Wonder if the Virginia Beach no cursing fine will extend to inside the stadium

It really does suck arse. The AD at the University of Louisville made a big scene about not wanting to share the Yum Center with a pro team. Now they can't pay the bills at the Yum Center (a brand new pro quality facility) and it would've brought badly needed jobs/tourism dollars to the area. Pitino himself did everything he could to lobby against it (even contacting current pro owners and etc) despite the public wanting a team here.

It really does piss me off. I love the University of Kentucky and attending pro events would never take away from that. But the Kentucky Colonels were wildly successful here and there's not a pro team to speak of within a 1 1/2 drive.
