Frequently Asked Questions

Why did NBA leave Vancouver?

Because of a dispute with Vancouver's City Council over arena financing, NBA had to leave Vancouver. The City planned to provide $40 million for the construction of a new arena that would feature 12 luxury suites and two restaurants. However, the City Council wanted to give the team owners $60 million in taxpayer money to pay off their existing debt. This meant that the city would have had to borrow $200m in order to build the arena. While the team owners had only to pay $20 million, this was a huge difference. This would make it so that the city's tax payers would be responsible to repay the remainder of this loan.

The City Council said they were willing to go ahead with the plan if the NBA agreed to stay at Rogers Arena until after the opening of the new facility. The league, however, refused to accept the plan. They claimed that the arena was not large enough. They didn't want to play there anymore because it was too small. They felt that it was unfair for them to continue playing in a smaller space when they weren't receiving any additional revenue.

The City Council then asked the province to step in and help out by offering financial assistance. While the province provided $150 million for the project, the City Council required another $100 million. The City then decided to abandon its plans and instead focus on building a new downtown arena.

How To

Is it possible to bring my camera with me to a Raptors' game?

You'll be fine as long as you follow the rules. A camera is fine to take along to an NBA basketball game. There's nothing illegal about it. However, it is important to be aware and cautious about the risks.

First, think about whether you have to take photos during the match. The courtside is the best place to get great shots.

The second thing to consider is what kind of camera you will use. You will need a professional-grade digital camera if your goal is to capture action shots or memorable moments with friends.

Also, you need to consider how much time it will take to set up your shot. For instance, if you're going to shoot hoops with your kids, you may want to invest in a tripod and a remote release instead of carrying heavy equipment.

You need to find a place to store your gear. After all, you can't expect to set up shop at the arena and hope that someone will hand you a memory card when you're done. You will need to either bring extra batteries, cables, SD cards, or find somewhere to store your stuff while you watch the game.

It is important to plan ahead if you want high quality photos at sporting events. It will allow you to capture amazing images that you can share with others.
