... So the scoreboard only takes up one little section?

Ballmer likely has more money laying around his house in small bills than what the Pelicans are worth…

Gayle cannot come close to throwing around the type of money Steve can.

Understated how much his net worth is. He is the richest pro sports owner, period.

Legitimately, you can combine the net worth if #2-10 of NBA owners and he'd still have 27.9billion more than them.

A perennial underachieving team?

We have that but spend less. There are probably better franchise models to strive for

That’s pretty bad arse. Spending money on fan experience is foreign to our tight arse ownership.

He paid for that with his own money. Our owner makes late rent payments to the SKC. Who is paying for the SKC renovations? New arena? Gayle?

Have you sat in our 300 level at the SKC? If they choose the renovate the SKC, I hope they give us better leg room and a better concourse.

Okay I’ll look at it this way. They are getting a new arena. We are getting another year of Dennis Allen and Willie Green. I guess we should be grateful for what we got.

Exactly. We have a low class organization. Saw Griff flying commercial yesterday. We will never be a first class organization with current ownership. And if we get new ownership, they’ll probably just leave. We are kind of fricked being mediocre.

We are the second smallest market in the NBA. There will always be effects of that.

Outside of Todd buying the team the Pels will not have ownership investing potentially investing more money in the Pelicans without relocating them elsewhere. Additionally, those kind of upgrades will probably make tickets unaffordable for the Pels market.

no....

it wraps around the entire arena.

believe that type of “Jumbotron” was first done by the Rams, so it makes sense they copied. it is an unreal video board and awesome for fan experience

Lost out on what? Do you follow the NBA and understand the salary cap?

Exactly how many owners have Ballmer's money?

One, counting Ballmer.

We shouldn’t be so fixated on fancy trimmings…

Yeah but the actual "scoreboard" part that shows scores and stats is .... about the size of a normal scoreboard?
