This is much nicer than what Hansen proposed. But for the content creators, you didn’t look very far if you truly couldn’t find other arenas concerned about their waste and the environmental impact on climate change. Golden 1 Center in Sacramento is the only arena in the world to be 100% solar powered & achieve LEED Platinum designation. All green waste (vegetable trimmings, protein trimmings and scraps, etc.) is treated as part of a groundbreaking new program called “California Safe Soil”. They treat waste with organic enzymes and process in a giant food digester. After it’s “digested” and then pasteurized, filtered it is put back into the soil at local farms. All food sold in the arena must be locally sourced within 150 miles. Leftover fryer oil which is locally produced rice bran oil, is converted to biodiesel by a local, family-run business. Lastly, the arena itself used recycled concrete from the mall that stood where the arena is now. I’m sure Chase Center in SF and Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee also have their own plans to reduce their carbon footprint.
For me as an Nuremberg IceTigers fan, my eyes almost popped out when I saw Reimer in 2:04 (famous german hockey player, maybe you‘ll know him from the 2018 olympics) 😅😍 Really nice to see my hometown team from germany in this section (and pretty random as well), but I liked it! Nice video, I‘m really excited to see how the Kraken will do in this climate friendly arena Greetings from Germany!
Direct this at the Port of Seattle and the Mariners. Both of them opposed this and lobbied the city council. It'll be great to have an arena we didn't pay for.
The Storm actually averaged about 7,500 in 2019. The L.A. Sparks averaged about 11,000 to lead the league. While 18,100 is unlikely to ever be met, the team might average ½ of that.
You know the Zags will play against Bama in December in that arena, and it will host college basketball tournaments and obviously be NBA ready. It's not just for the WNBA SMH
@@donaldthomas7070 The Arena was not designed by WNBA standards they want to be ready if the NBA knocks the door and you will not pay a Billion to not have a NBA ready arena or not have the capacity to host tournaments.
@@Zillav907, be that as it may, the arena will not see any NBA regular-season games for at least a few years to come. I don't think the NBA is interested in expanding, & the only team that might relocate there in the foreseeable future would probably be Portland (given that Moda Center is 25 years old & that many arenas of that era or just a few years earlier have been or are looking to be replaced).
The roof is considered a city icon and was non negotiable when trying to build the new arena. They had to keep it otherwise they wouldn’t have got permission from the city to build the rink. I guess they funnel rain water from the roof and make the ice out of it too.
What is this Seattle Storm that everyone is talking about? I have lived in Seattle for 25 years and never heard of it. Are they referring about the gloomy weather?
The inaugural season might sell out. There's a lot of basketball fans in Seattle who've convinced themselves the Storm are an adequate replacement for the Sonics. And, you cannot overlook the novelty of a "new" arena factor as well. That will bring people in, too. The question is: for how long after the novelty factor wears off?
@@notthatdigusted7468 You probably don’t actually live in Seattle nor its surrounding suburbs if you believe it’s a good idea to shoehorn a second pro franchise that also would play 41 home dates per season at the same time as the Kraken. Unlike where the Mariners, Huskies and Seahawks play, you cannot take a train to a Kraken or Storm home game. That area is massively congested with traffic and is not included in the regional rail expansion plans. The city had a golden opportunity for a true brand new arena built from scratch next to the baseball and football/soccer stadiums, but, in true Seattle fashion, they blew it and railroaded a “new” KeyArena down everyone’s throats instead. Dress it up in any colour you like, but, there’s never really going to be anything “new” about an arena that first opened when JFK was still alive.
*"Climate Pledge Arena"* pfft, what a gimmick! Lol, the odd 1.3 billion Chinese must just be rollin in this....as they should - it's fricken hilarious!
@@inspireprojects2496 Okay well your video says otherwise. Also the construction of this arena did worse for the "climate" than it would by just having it be ran on fossil fuels lol. It's almost as if people don't really care about the climate, and they just care about $$$. Couldn't be true though. Just like how Obama swears the water is rising, and encourages all for the safety of the Climate, and quite literally that same year he said that, he bought a multi million dollar beach front property. It's all a gimmick for $$$$

Wow it would of been cheaper to build a new stadium back in 07 and we would still have the Sonics
Sonics are coming back don’t worry
Part of it was the owner who took the Sonics away from Seattle was kind of a stuck up dickhead. :(
Wow not new but Rehab hell they should have built one from Ground up talking about Cheap
@@notthatdigusted7468 as a third party fan,I hate that the Sonics move. Especially because the thunders logo and colors suck
It would not have mattered. The Sonics owner was going to move the team, no matter what.

The Seattle Supersonics just played out that arena oh my God it’s right there for you guys
Is it too late to be a bandwagon fan for the Kraken?
It's neve to late
I'm here too. Tired of the flames hurting me 🤣😅
Hop on bro
Yes.
@@jimmythomas5979 You’re not a real Flames fan.
Why did you make it seem like it’s super uncommon for arenas to have hockey and basketball almost every hockey arena is used for basketball
1/3 of nhl arenas are shared with an nba team
@@davidcole2004 yes but every single one has been used for basketball
@@davidcole2004 and that doesn't include NC State men's basketball sharing the arena with the Carolina Hurricanes.
One thing that does not make sense to me is why couldn't this new Key arena be built in 2006 or 2007 when the Sonics team needed a new stadium?
It would have been hard to justify another costly renovation to the city and its taxpayers after only 12 years since the last one.
In addition to what Mathew said, the city of Seattle spent a lot of money on new stadiums for the Seahawks and Mariners.
The new owner wanted the Sonics to move to OKC in the first place. Regardless of the stadium.
TLDR, new owner faked needing new stadium.
I believe Carolina has the NHL’s changeover record. They can go from basketball to hockey in 70 minutes
Is crazy that this arena has been gutted twice
Welcome to the NHL KRAKEN and your fans, the Krakheads. As a VGK fan I hope to one day see a game here at the KRAKHOUSE!!

Greetings from Germany!
This is Sonics arena though
Its the kraken now
I've never been to Seattle but I love the NHL and really want to get out there for a game.
You don't have to say "Ice Hockey"........just hockey is fine
No kidding this isn’t Eastern Europe
Raptors fan here, bring back Seattle Supersonics please
Coldplay concert
Looks like a nice place to watch a basketball game I'll bet all of the Seattle storms 20 fans are really excited
"No room for multiple stadiums near the city center"? Chris Hansen would disagree
Direct this at the Port of Seattle and the Mariners. Both of them opposed this and lobbied the city council. It'll be great to have an arena we didn't pay for.
@@jerryhello Chris hansen might become a minority owner of a Vegas franchise
they should name it woke arena
why
He said stadium for basketball and hockey lol then said the name which has arena in it.
18,100 for WNBA? They’ll be lucky to get 10% of that 😂

The whole place is one big safe space... for money...
Hopefully they can get their Sonics back.
I don't get the part about the roof, couldn't they just redo it and make the job easier?
The roof is considered a city icon and was non negotiable when trying to build the new arena. They had to keep it otherwise they wouldn’t have got permission from the city to build the rink. I guess they funnel rain water from the roof and make the ice out of it too.
@@07SuperchargedSS oh wow that's kinda cool
@@07SuperchargedSS Poor city if they consider THAT an icon.
There's a rack that covers the roof now. It was a waste of money
What is this Seattle Storm that everyone is talking about? I have lived in Seattle for 25 years and never heard of it. Are they referring about the gloomy weather?
This arena is so cool for these reasons listed
About the stupidest name of a arena
Fits perfectly with "the stupidest name" of an NHL team.
Awesome
18,100 for WNBA games? When have any games had that mean for WNBA? They are usually lucky to get just 4,000
Theres a skeleton covering the roof. It looks nothing like the key arenas roof. Whats the point of keeping it.
Smells like Australia in there
Yea the supersonic is coming back let’s get it
Hockey Matches?
Lol
That ain't puck talk
Hello fellow kids!
WNBA will never fill the Arena
Lol right I think they are lucky if they get 8,000 fans per game

Pretty ironic how much fossil Fuels were burned to build this ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY arena.
Will the Sonics come back, too?
Is this key arena? Why did they rename it
Yes it's the key arena and the old Seattle center coliseum
I hope Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle might host a NAL or IFL indoor football team in the future
“...18,100 fans for WNBA Games.”
HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa
The sonics maybe back soon. And when that happens the first match I wanna see is the sonics vs thunder believe that
Ah the great reset arena (Brought to you by Amazon). I hear the only food they serve is bugs and tofu.
18000 for the WNBA games? lmfao Yeah... there going to have 17985 seats empty
Truth!
Hockey GAME..good old hockey GAME
*"Climate Pledge Arena"* pfft, what a gimmick! Lol, the odd 1.3 billion Chinese must just be rollin in this....as they should - it's fricken hilarious!
Bout 18,000 to many for wnba
Liar, they will use electricity outside there own arena.
"It's all electricity, no fossil fuels."
Where do you think all that electricity is coming from lol coal and fossil fuels
Hi. They are going to run on 100% renewable energy from solar panels in 2 or 3 years after launch.
