...here's an excerpt from the 'Climate Pledge Arena' Wiki page....Anyone here use "Amazon"?...a thriving Capitalist Corporation that doesn't hide from the reality of Climate Change, as some posters on this Forum do.
---------------------
KeyArena was the first publicly financed arena in the area that was fully supported by earned income from the building.[21] Arena finances were bolstered for several years by a payment following the settlement of a lawsuit over the lease with the SuperSonics in 2008. However, the lower level of activity and revenue after the departure of the Sonics left little reserve beyond basic building maintenance.[22]
In contrast, Climate Pledge Arena was completely privately financed with the city receiving annual rent and a portion of additional revenue generated by events and surrounding parking. Amazon bought the naming rights to the new arena in June 2020, dedicating the arena name to bringing attention to climate change,[23] specifically the pledge promoted by the advocacy group Global Optimism for businesses to reach net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2040.
