BONUS EPISODE (Part 1 of 3) – It's Earth Week, which means it's the perfect time to dig into the impact venues and the live event industry have on our beautiful planet. As we discuss innovations and solutions around venue sustainability, we take an inside look at a venue which is prioritizing this on a level never seen before – Climate Pledge Arena. For Part 1 of our Earth Week Series, we chat with Brianna Treat, the Director of Sustainability at Climate Pledge Arena and the Seattle Kraken, to hear all about the Climate Pledge Arena story – what set them on the path of prioritizing green initiatives and how they continue to face and find solutions to solve challenges. We hear about what is involved with being a part of Amazon's Climate Pledge, and what it means to be a Director of Sustainability. This newly reopened venue (renovated from a historic arena built in 1962 for the World's Fair) not only strives to be a leader in venue sustainability, but also to blaze the trail to make it easier for all venues to prioritize and initiate green initiatives. This is a great first step in our series to learn some terms and hear about the many ways venues can be more sustainable."We shouldn't just sit idly by on the sidelines, waiting for other people to develop the technologies and the business models that can help decarbonize our operations.” - Daniel GrossBrianna Treat: LinkedIn | EmailClimate Pledge Arena: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram

Jacque Holowaty joins the show today to talk about her journey to Seattle, Washington to become the VP of Employee and Guest Experience at Climate Pledge Arena.

Climate Pledge Arena is home to the NHL's Seattle Kraken, is ranked #9 for Arenas, and is the best new concert facility according to Pollstar magazine! Also, it was awarded Sports Facility of the year by Sports Business Journal! Jacque has had an amazing journey in events and today talks about what she "Does", how she "Did" it, and what she and the team "will" do next! Learn more about your ad choices.

Longtime Seattle Times reporter Geoff Baker joined the podcast. He has a new book due out in November entitled, “Rising From the Deep: The Seattle Kraken, a Tenacious Push for Expansion, and the Emerald City's Sports Revival” https://tinyurl.com/2rw3w2j3. In the book, he chronicles the origin of the newest NHL franchise. The story behind the Kraken's arrival is deep-rooted in Seattle sports history, beginning with the departure in 2008 of the Seattle SuperSonics. The Kraken lead to the remodeling of Key Arena into the new Climate Pledge Arena. Still, Covid-19 and construction delays made it difficult for the Kraken to get off the ground. Baker explains the whole process and discusses how the Kraken may be a pawn in Seattle's real goal to return the Sonics back to the Pacific Northwest.

The annual free medical clinic that was formerly held at the Key Arena, before it was bought by Amazon and renamed to the Climate Pledge Arena, will not return in full this year. The Seattle/King County Clinic, usually scheduled during the month of October, provided vision, dental, and general medical care to hundreds of patients who were either low-income, underinsured, or homeless. The clinic also doesn't ask for proof of citizenship or personal information. The clinic also has its own comic book which explains its origins and mission with art from an array of local artists, which is also available online. This year only patients seeking eye exams or visual care will have a clinic available to them at a different location. LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new videos everyday. https://bit.ly/3fs6dBUSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/seattlerealestatepodcast)

We're back yet again at the Key Arena to continue our year long Seattle Hometown series. This show in 2013 was big. It was the tour closer for a tour that reinvigorated a lot of energy back into setlists bringing back songs that they hadn't played in years and changing up format in order to fulfil longer shows. Since this was the closer in Seattle, they knew that they were going to have to bring their a-game arsenal. A whopping 36 songs were played making it an instantly memorable evening. A few talking points during this show include an appreciation for Pendulum as the consistent opening track for this tour as well as an appreciation for the 3-song slowburn startup that frequented setlists this year. We'll dig into how 2013 was a big year for rarities and at this show they brought out one of the rarest of the rare. Let Me Sleep was played once back in 1994 at a Bridge School show, it took them 613 shows before playing it again on this night. Also special from this show is a trio of songs from the Singles soundtrack played in a row for the only time. With 36 songs, it has a been stage atmosphere and while a podcast may not do the visuals justice, the lasting images of Ed and Mike dueling on Better Man and Ed being lifted up on one of the orbs are the big points to remember from this show.

We're heading back to an era that has gone nearly untouched in the Live On 4 Legs pantheon. In 2009, the Backspacer album was released and subsequently toured for. Although somewhat polarizing in retrospect, people thought highly of the album at the time and considered it to be Pearl Jam's return to their "true rock 'n roll roots". Yet of the eleven tracks the album bares, the band rarely goes back to many of those songs that were getting attention then. As a podcast, these songs have seen minimal coverage possibly thanks to that. This episode will continue the Seattle hometown series featuring a show that was considered to be the Backspacer era's maiden voyage taking place only a day after the record was released. As mentioned, a lot of music critics and journalists hopped back aboard the Pearl Jam bandwagon when this album came out. Was it due to the album being exclusively released at a big box store like Target? Or could it possibly have been because the George W. Bush administration was out of office and the album seeing a fresh, positive outlook for the first time since Yield? Whatever the case was, the band was clearly feeling good about their recent production, continuously pushing songs such as Got Some and The Fixer along with the family oriented love song Just Breathe. But this era also hosts a few of those songs that have absolutely disappeared from the Pearl Jam live repertoire such as lead-off track Gonna See My Friend, Johnny Guitar and Ed solo track The End which we'll cover the debuts for in this episode. But this era also led the way for a few classics that we continue to hear today such as the aforementioned Just Breathe and Unthought Known. Since we are coming off a month where Gigaton songs were finally played for the first time in 18 months, we'll make some comparisons to how these new songs fit in with the setlist to how the Backspacer songs ended up. Seven O'Clock is seemingly on the projection of an Unthought Known made to be a nightly hit, but what songs can we compare Retrograde and River Cross to? All of that, plus a few good personal stories mixed in for this one. Check out the LO4L Concertpedia at http://liveon4legs.com Donate to the show at http://patreon.com/liveon4legs

Before the episode begins, we'll share our takes on the upcoming weekend where Pearl Jam will play their first show in three years at the Sea.Hear.Now festival! Also! A new album from Eddie! We'll spend time on both before getting to the topic at hand. In this episode, we continue our year long 30th anniversary Seattle hometown series with a tune up show from 2002 that took place shortly before the long Riot Act tour in the proceeding year. The band was slowly returning to the public eye for the first time since the end of the tumultuous Binaural tour, and in the two years since that run, the world had completely changed. In the wake of 9/11 was an impending war with Afghanistan that would transition into a war with Iraq that the band vehemently opposed, and would express their opposition to on the Riot Act record. The Riot Act songs are in their infancy of live performances with most of them only being played in between two and five times. We'll spend some time talking about the crowd's reaction to these songs and why some of them took a lot quicker to attach themselves to (I Am Mine, Save You, Love Boat Captain) while others maybe didn't click as much at first (Ghost, Thumbing My Way). But we'll also get an early appearance of the George W. Bush mask routine during Bu$hleaguer. Another big talking point of the episode is about The Ramones and their presence in the music world at the time. Earlier that year, Eddie, donning a newly buzzed mohawk, inducted The Ramones into the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame. It came a year after the passing of Joey, and two months later, Dee Dee would die from a heroin overdose. With Johnny's health in decline, artists at the time were eager to share how The Ramones had influenced them over the years with Ed at the forefront of all of it. We'll talk about their impact on the music world and how many artists were looking to keep their legacy alive after losing two original members in such a short amount of time.

25 years ago today, the Seattle SuperSonics advanced to the 1996 NBA Finals with a win over the Utah Jazz at Key Arena. Were you there that wonderful day? Remember watching the game on television? Well in case you forgot, check out highlights from on 950 KJR with the great Kevin Calabro!

We continue our hometown series this month with a show in... Spokane? Yes, you heard that correctly. In relation to the Deep streaming site that was unveiled last month, we decided to pivot to 2013 and call this a hometown show. Yes, they did play Key Arena in 2013, but if we're gonna cheat we might as well go all the way. That show will happen later in the year! Why is Spokane a hometown show? It's not because Jeremy... you get the joke... As the second most populous city in the state of Washington where the band has resided throughout their entire 30-year career, they've only played in Spokane ONE other time. It was in 1993 and there's no bootleg or setlist anywhere. The only thing we know about that show is that Ed made... the joke. This show we cover in this episode is celebrated as being a home away from home with many apologies for waiting this long and empty promises that they'll be back every year. Ed even busts out the novelty wine bottle for this one! There are a few things to know about this show before diving in. 1) the setlist was curated by Steve Gleason. Only a month after creating the Voodoo Fest setlist, Gleason gets another crack at it, this time adding a few more serious collector's items to the menu. 2) A fan gets a once in a lifetime chance to join the band on stage and rock out to his favorite song under one condition, he must get his head full of dreadlocks shaved. 3) Anything you've read about a specific Van Halen song being played on this night is wrong and you need to forget any mentions of it. The song has only been played twice, both times in Hartford, CT and that's it. Want to fight about it? Listen to the episode first. Donate to the show! http://patreon.com/liveon4legs

Canadian born, Geoff Baker has covered some big news stories, many of which have turned into controversy in which all of them the veracity of his stories was proved. You may recall Tim Johnson managed the Toronto Blue Jays, only to be fired for lying to the players about a Vietnam career that didn't exist. Carlos Delgado, Baker reported was no longer standing for God Bless America during games in Puerto Rico. The story was picked up by major USA new outlets forcing Delgado to have to address the issue with the MLB media. The same type of attention to detail accompanied Baker when he arrived in Seattle covering the Seattle Mariners. Baker broke the story on dysfunction with the Mariners management team as part of a story involving Eric Wedge and Howard Lincoln.Most recently Geoff was on point again as the location for a proposed NBA team was front page news in Seattle only to get unravelled as Key Arena carried the day for an NHL areana.In this episode Baker talks with Jonah Sigel about the Toronto Sports Media scene, difference between coverage there and other markets like Philadelphia and what it is going to be like trying to get Seattle ready for NHL hockey and the Seattle Kraken.As we sit on November 22nd, there is ONE media member in Seattle who has ever worked full time covering an NHL team. ONE. Baker isn't it by the way. Ryan Clark of The Athletic is, having covered the Avalanche for the most recent two years.

Jake answers in Four Down Territory to close out the night.

Documentary filmmakers Jason Reid and Adam Brown (Sonicsgate: Requiem for a Team) join host Tim Hanlon to discuss the long, tortuous and acrimoniously messy departure of the NBA’s iconic Seattle SuperSonics to Oklahoma City in the summer of 2008 – a story newly relevant as the “Emerald City” prepares to welcome a new NHL expansion franchise, and as former owner (and Starbucks CEO Emeritus) Howard Schultz publicly explores a run for the US Presidency. A real-life drama replete with local political intrigue, wily (and/or naïve) business dealings, and an array of villains straight out of Hollywood central casting – the Sonics-to-Thunder saga has quickly become a chilling metaphor for the triumph of business revenue streams and facilities real estate over the spectacle of athletic competition or the rooting interests of fans. Reid and Brown walk Hanlon through: the landing (in 1967) and honeymoon first years of Seattle’s first-ever pro sports franchise; the region’s loving embrace of their own pro hoops team (especially during its 1979 league championship season); the Achilles’ heel of Key Arena and a city government wary of public stadium subsidies; a litany of lawsuits; and a raft of agenda-driven actors like the in-over-his-skis Schultz, a devious Oklahoma City lead investor Clay Bennett, and a complicit NBA Commissioner David Stern – all of whom share blame for the Sonics’ ignominious relocation in the minds and hearts of Seattle sports fans. Plus: we speculate whether the 2021 arrival of the NHL to Seattle portends a return of NBA basketball – perhaps in the form of a newly constituted SuperSonics – in the years ahead!

The third episode of Sound of Hockey is a fun one! With the ENORMOUS NEWS of the Seattle City Council officially voting 8-0 in favor of the KeyArena project, the guys are in a particularly chipper mood for this one. Helping that mood even more is the Philadelphia Flyers' revelation of their new mascot, Gritty, which has taken the hockey world by storm. Together, John, Andy, and Darren break down both topics in detail. Additionally, the guys "enjoy" a little pre-season hockey talk and discuss the prospects that they're each keeping their eyes on during this otherwise meaningless stage of the current campaign. Finally, each host gives his own opinion of which under-the-radar NHL team is most likely to make an unexpected run this season, which quickly deteriorates into unintentional season previewing for the Atlantic and Pacific Divisions.  Subscribe. Enjoy. Review.    

Oak View Group co-founder Tim Leiweke discusses a host of issues related to the business of sports, including how his group is transforming the old Key Arena in Seattle as it prepares to land a hockey and basketball team. He also talks about the technological evolution in sports, and how it affects the distribution of content as well as the in-arena experience. Leiweke also talks about facilities management and what drives revenue for owners of sports teams, which nowadays are only centerpieces of much more elaborate business ventures focused on sectors like real estate or media. He also touches on President Trump's tariffs and what they mean for builders of a new arena.  Leiweke is a former chief executive officer of AEG, which operates Staples Center, and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, which owns and operates, among others, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Leiweke founded Oak View Group with music industry veteran Irving Azoff.

After Seattle fans pledged over 25,000 NHL season ticket deposits in one day (and ultimately a capped 32,000), Vancouver comedian Torben Rolfsen exclaimed: "Forget KeyArena renos - they're going to have to play at CenturyLink." Of course, that early response should create a capped limit of season tickets at the renovated Key Arena in 2020 and an immediate waiting list. In other musings on his extended edition of The Rolfsen Report: The Comedy of Sport on The Sport Market on TSN Radio, the Vancouver comedian noted: "P.F. Chang handed over the Olympic flag to Burger King as the IHOP president looked on.", that "Norway just wouldn't stop. They lapped the field at the Closing Ceremony." and that "Vladimir Putin called Russian coach Oleg Znarok on the bench to congratulate him after the game. He called collect."

IT’S FINALLY HUMP DAY PEOPLE! The Blazers get the dub last night against the Kings! YES!

The Blazers beat the Kings 116-99 last night in the first home game since all-star weekend, the Blazers are playing the Timberwolves this Thursday without Jimmy Butler, so it should be another victory for the Blazers, who will win 5 games in a row now. New arena plans for Seattle still remain on time and on schedule as we know It, Seattle is going to revamp Key Arena, and try and bring a hockey team and a basketball team back to Seattle! With the new stadium look, this will for sure bring a lot of attention back to the Seattle and the West Coast if they can get this right.

Travis Thompson Talks Touring With Macklemore, Being a Seattle Skate Rat, Spoken Word Accomplishments and Performs “Need You” Live in StudioTravis Thompson has been on my radar subliminally for many years now. Upon first hearing his music I was sure his name seemed familiar, but didn't research it. Then I saw Macklemore announce his recent Key Arena shows only to realize Travis follows me on Twitter. When the tracklist for Gemini was released, where he's featured with KN alum Dave B., I put it all together. Travis was a kid that had been reaching out on socials for years. Did some searching and realized he used to ask for music and podcasting advice way back. We'd tweeted back and forth multiple times.Travis was born in Alaska and raised in Seattle. As we've all figured out by now, Seattle really supports their own. That said, he's quickly gaining a following back home and with a big support slot on a national tour, the reach will surely be growing.His burgeoning love of rap started at skate parks in the area where they were bumping…Intuition songs!?!? It's always a pleasure, and a bit surreal, to meet someone that claims you as an influence. It's even more satisfying to see that influence translate into accomplishing focused goals. After a successful stint as a young spoken word artist, he began his own podcast (see that influence agan?) where he interviewed rappers in an attempt to break into the Seattle scene. He even ended up interviewing buds like Watsky.Now, at 21, things seem to be taking off quickly for Travis. But behind every quick success is years of hard work and opportunities that were taken advantage of. Listen in as we talk about knowing what he wanted to do at an early age and pursuing it with fervor.–Lee See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

KING5 reporter Chris Daniels joins us to discuss the Seattle arena issue.

Ian Furness says he isn’t holding his breath on the NHL coming to Seattle, admitting that despite Wednesday’s Key Arena hoopla, there are a lot of arena and ownership questions to be answered. Ian suggests Seattle is a better hockey market than Dallas and Vegas, so thinks the NHL would work as the only game in winter (assuming the NBA doesn’t come)

Bob McKenzie says he’s never seen anything like the scene in Nashville around the Stanley Cup Final, since the old days of the Boston Garden and the Spectrum in Philly. Bob says the NHL, three or four years ago, had Seattle at the top of its expansion list but a lack of an arena and an owner shelved that. So Bob says, despite yesterday’s Key Arena announcement, those are still a concern. But if both issues are taken care of, Bob suggests the NHL will be very interested in Seattle

How would a return of the Sonics affect your evening commute? With two arena locations under city consideration, this episode gives you the scoop on how each of them would affect you. Given common perceptions about the Mercer corridor, what you hear will likely surprise you. In this episode: 3-time NBA All-Star Detlef Schrempf discusses his time playing at Seattle’s Key Arena. Scott Kubly, Director of Seattle Department of Transportation, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the transportation network serving each location. Martin Duke, Editor-in-Chief of Seattle Transit Blog, describes the current and future state of transit serving the two locations.

Why should you care about a potential return of the Sonics? Because the story is more complex than you might imagine. Yes, there is considerable enthusiasm for bringing them back. But their return requires addressing some tough questions. Will your tax dollars go toward subsidizing an NBA-ready arena? Where would an arena go? How would an arena affect the surrounding real estate, jobs, traffic, and other aspects of life in the city? How can the positive effects of an NBA franchise be maximized? This season of Seattle Growth Podcast will explore these issues so you can be better informed about how a return of the Sonics would affect you and your neighbors. With this knowledge, you can have your voice be heard on the issue while there are decisions being made. To give context to the potential return, it is important to understand some of the history of the Sonics. In this episode, you can hear: 1) Hall of Fame Sonics player and coach Lenny Wilkens shares why he wants the NBA to return to Seattle and what it was like to deliver the city its first professional sports championship. 2) Craig Kinzer opens up about his experience as a member of the Sonics ownership group that sold the team to Clay Bennett’s Oklahoma City investment group. 3) Paul Lawrence explains what can be learned from his experience as the city’s lead attorney in its trial attempting to force Clay Bennett to fulfill the obligations of the Sonics’ lease in Key Arena. Also appearing in this episode are City Councilmember Tim Burgess, Pete Nordstrom, Wally Walker and Steve Hussey.

A new suitor for a possible Sonics arena emerges. We talk with Seattle Times reported Geoff Baker about the effort to revive KeyArena for basketball, and how it complicates Chris Hansen's rival SoDo arena plan. Then, veteran Washington pollster Stuart Elway talks polling methods, who's winning Washington races, and Donald Trump's claims of 'rigged' polls. Also, a Halloween special: what's scaring Republicans and Democrats this fall?

The Seattle Storm have proven that the WNBA product can work and be highly effective without an NBA parent company behind it. A member of the Storm since the early 2000s, when they did have the Seattle Sonics in the Key Arena, Kyle Waters has worked his way up from an Inside Sales Rep in 2005 to SVP in 2015. Waters talks about how the WNBA brand is pushed out into the community, showcasing an inclusive atmosphere that has continued to catch-hold with various constituencies and result in sold-out audiences in an NBA-quality arena. Waters shares insight into the branding effort with the Storm's mascot Doppler, as well as how the roster transitions from former stars Lauren Jackson & Sue Bird have yielded two back-to-back No. 1 WNBA draft picks in order to keep the Storm front-and-center within the Seattle sports landscape throughout the summer.

Athletic administrators cannot do better than to replicate someone like Bill Hogan, who has been in the sports field for over 30 years at three different universities. Hogan talks about his time at Seattle University, especially mentioning the fighting to search out the department's long history which had been placed underneath a pool to rot. Hogan discusses his vision for bringing back Division I athletics to Seattle University after 29 years as well as capturing the city's attention by playing at the Key Arena. Hogan exemplifies his philosophy on grooming young administrators in his department and takes a few shots at the host, which is not unlike Hogan at all.
