It is important to note that Seattle's arena is being built so as to make money on concerts and music festivals rather than either the NHL or the NBA. They are just icing on the cake
if they come.
The UK has a ton of arenas and basically no interest in either hockey or basketball. It works because they have a great rotation of musical acts and comics that use the arenas.
