Never. But I do hope pro ball comes to Louisville. I don’t go to the ballet or Zoo either but am glad Louisville has them. Adds to the culture ,prestige and economy Of a community.
My son in Nashville says their three pro teams really help bring the community together and gives him a great way to entertain clients.
A business associate of mine from Oklahoma City told me last week Louisville will be fools if they don’t try everything they can to lure a pro basketball team . Their arena holds about 18000and has been a sell out for the last ten years. His company spends twenty thousand a year on season tickets and he said Thunder games are THE way to entertain customers and get a leg up on your competition.
If Nashville can support three major league pro teams, Indy two and Cincinnati two surely we can support one ina sport people here already love . I’m sure our teams would have a number of former UK and UL players and I really see it as a lack of vision if our leaders do not jump all over this latest effort .
My guess is it is our last opportunity to stem Louisville’s and Kentucky’s decline from the days in the fifties when Atlanta, Nadville and Indy were all about the same size.
