Booing is never a show of good sportsmanship or the character of a supportive fan! I was a season ticket holder and sat through the entire last season, every game from start to finish and never booed MY team! It’s never ok to boo your own team and OKC hasn’t earned the right to even think about booing those guys. But then again, maybe that’s OK by “supportive” OK fan standards!

I went to see the film on Saturday and they did a great job! Those with dirty hands, refused to be interviewed and so the FACTS spoke for them. And they were the facts!

It was difficult to watch, but a great film! You guys did an awesome job of telling the story and sticking to the facts!

What did you think about your ” savior ” Clay Bennett after you found out about him and his partners raising your ticket prices by a whopping 30%(!!)the very first season the team was in town? Talk about showing disrespect for your customers!!

Your naivete is charming, really. Attendance (or lack thereof) had very little to do with the team leaving Seattle. More like David Stern, the NBA bargaining agreement that ended the 1999 lockout (in which the owners gave way too much to the players), Howard Schultz and Katrina. Still with me? Many cities have had poor teams for years and bad attendance (think Atlanta, among others). You have no clue, but are better off without one. Enjoy.

We contacted more than 200 people with interview requests for this film.

We personally reached out to Clay Bennett and Aubrey McClendon to get “the OKC side” of the story. They declined our multiple interview requests.

Stern, Schultz and Nickels also declined.

to answer your question: We went to the games. Fan support did drop after 10 years of losing but not enough to make them leave. It is more complected then that, Losing year after year ultimatly caused the city to not support financially a better arena that allowed the owners to make money. The city had just paid for a new Arena in 1995 and by 2002 Howard Schultz was making threats to move.

Please make no mistake there was nothing the Fans could have done. The lock out and subsequent Collective Bargaining Agreement made the private/public partnership of the Sonics/Key Arena in Seattle not financially viable.

I am sure OKC will find out all too soon about how much money needs to go into a team. Then try asking for that money after a poor product has been on the floor for about a decade.

The Fans are innocent and gave everything. This film should explain that better.

want to see the last game played at the KEY.

i really do feel for you guys and your city.. we’ve only had the Thunder for a year and i’m absolutely in love with them and it would already tear me up to see them leave.. i can just imagine how hard it would be after 41 years of loyal fandom.. and i mean that sincerely..

as far as the people of OKC go, we’re just generally great sports fans, good people, and very supportive of our teams.. we’re ecstatic to have the Thunder here and i think the players feel that and love being here.. the people had nothing to do with any scandalous move.. i think we, as fans and as a city, are getting tired of hearing all the crap from Seattle and Sonics fans.. be mad at Bennett, be mad at those with power all you want, but all the jabs at our city and our fans and us as people is uncalled for and unjustified..

my main question is this: all you fans who are so loyal, so dedicated, so passionate, so torn up, so upset that you’d make a documentary and start petitions and post constantly on forums and on and on, why didn’t they just show up to the games?

please remember we are Sonics fans and we lived through this. our understanding is comprehensive and up close and personal.

please visit “sonicsgate.org” there will be more information, blogs, videos, court papers… the movie will bring people to visit, they will stay for the information. this is bigger then just the movie. stay tuned.
