What makes you think they will support this team better than the last one?

Why did they leave in the first place? I would think they would do better in tickets being sold then in okey ville. That would be cool to have two more teams. Then they could do the division likethe NFL or have 4 divisions of 8. Edit: after reading it though the economy sucks in sac. They would do better in seattle. The seattle star buckkets.

They left because they were screwed out of Seattle. The new owners are from Oklahoma.

No, they weren't screwed out of Seattle.
Seattle couldn't find any local ownership interest who found them a viable investment.
The sellers took the best offer they received from the current ownership, who had every intention of moving the franchise.
If Seattle had supported the team better, they would have been more lucrative and attractive to local ownership.
Jeez Paul Allen could have bought them with pocket change, and yet he passed. Think about it.

If I was in bill gates position I would have bought the team. But still he would have to be voted in as an owner.
