This is great! I can't wait for it to open and have something to go watch other than horrible movies at the theatre or some crummy concert at the Catalyst.—Juan Reyes

Something great? I think not. It's time to put away children’s' toys and deal with the real adult world. We're heading toward a cliff, pedal to the metal, burning up the last of available fossil fuels, polluting the air and water, depleting biodiversity, killing thousands in sovereign countries thousands of miles away for domination of the last drops of oil, creating a filthy rich minority while others starve. And Santa Cruz wants to spend millions to put up a tent for a second rate basketball team? Pitiful.—Michael A. Lewis

If you didn't get a chance to vote, tell us in the comments what you think about the arena, whether it will have and if you plan on attending events here. We'd like to know!
