On Thursday, the City of Seattle announced the members of a community advisory group to aid in their exploration of a redevelopment of KeyArena for a new sports and entertainment facility.

The Office of Economic Development released the names of the 13-member Arena Community Advisory Group. The group consists of community members of all walks who can speak to employment and labor; restaurants and hospitality; the Lower Queen Anne, South Lake Union, and Belltown neighborhoods, Uptown businesses, and Seattle Center.

Speaking on behalf of fans will be two familiar names, our own Brian Robinson and NHL to Seattle’s John Barr, a friend and contributor to the site.
