It's a damn zombie or something. From the Los Angeles Times (with a tip o' the hat to Kurt):

The real thrust of this arena seems to be hockey. And you'd think Tim Donaghy would end whatever flirtation with Nevada the NBA has had.But still, the threat lingers. And long as the Maloofs own the Kings and the Kings don't have plans in place to fund a new arena in Sacramento, the threat will linger. To me, Kansas City and Anaheim — and I guess Seattle — are bigger threats than Vegas. But there's enough there to make you worry.
