POLL: Are you surprised that Virginia Beach was passed over for an NBA team?

Virginia Beach mayor announced earlier this week that a proposed arena project wasn't moving forward after a owners of the Sacramento Kings said they didn't want to relocate the NBA team to the city. Are you surprised that Virginia Beach was passed over for an NBA team?

  • Very surprised. I'd already set aside money to purchase my seasons passes.
  • Not too shocked. The team would have had to wait for Virginia Beach to build a venue for the team to play in..
  • I would have been surprised if the team came. I don't think Virginia Beach could have supported the team on its own. It would have had to be a regional project.
  • I'm actually happy the team is not coming. I didn't want to pay for it.
