Here We Stay: Tell Grant Napear

by Tom Ziller on Nov 10, 2010 3:30 PM PST in Arena

We've done a great job growing the Here We Stay page on Facebook ... but we want to keep pushing to get fans on board with the movement to provide a fan voice in the ongoing arena issue. So we're all going to text "Here We Stay – facebook.com/herewestay" to 44-1140 today at 4 p.m. during The Grant Napear Show. Let's let him know we want a new sports and entertainment facility in Sacramento.

Note that we aren't doing this to annoy Grant or anything -- this is positive outreach. Grant wants an arena here as much as any of us do, and has ripped Heather Fargo and the Cal Expo board as much as we have. He's on our side on this. We just want to make sure he notices our group and gives us a mention on the air. So be nice and positive with Grant, for the sake of hope for a new arena.

Again, at 4 p.m., if you can, text

Here We Stay – facebook.com/herewestay

to KHTK's text line, which is 44-1140.

And if you haven't "liked" the Here We Stay Facebook page, please do so. It's the best way to a) show you care and b) get all the latest news on the arena situation.

And I don't care how tempted you are...

Under no circumstances should you add to the text a picture of your taint. I would be very, VERY disappointed in you.

Here we text!

The fact that it could annoy him would be a happy side effect though...

That's one thing I like about Grant

He wants this team to stay in Sacramento just as much as we do.

I actually doubt that, honestly.

He works for the Maloofs, and does so here, Las Vegas, Anaheim, Kansas City or Pasadena. And merely by virtue of being the Kings’ announcer, he’s 99% locked in to get a radio or TV gig in whatever market the team plays.

He lives in EDH, anyway. I really think he could care less.

Incentive to stay

As you say, he’s 99% locked in to get a radio or TV gig in whatever market the team plays. Well, Sacramento is a larger market than quite a few of the possible destinations that have been thrown out there, right? Seattle is an obvious exception to this, but a broadcaster would prefer to be in the Sacramento market than, for example, KC.

Never forget, I'm an idiot.

I live in EDH too...

…and have met Grant a few times while out and about. I personally have found him to be very gracious and approachable. I dont see how his living in EDH means he would care less about the team relocating?
I understand he frustrates people at times but I also think people need to understand he is in the ENTERTAINMENT business. He has been here since the team came to Sacramento and used to do the Sports on a local news channel before landing the gig he has with the Kings now. I haven’t always agreed with him but I do think he has a lot of knowledge about the team and its inner workings.
Just my opinion.

Well said, we need as much stake as Napear does so why not get as many fans as is expected so that he realizes that it’s about time to make Sacramento what it should be.iam for here we stay and grant should read this
