I found the most interesting statement to be

Corporations that have an interest in Sac as the Capitol of the 8th largest economy in the world, I had never thought of that. But it could be of value to them to have a luxury box to lobby people from our city or other California locales..
I need to consider that a bit more but that prospect has me a bit excited,

35 and 31. I'm calling it now. Reke and Cousins 1-2 in most improved award both All-stars. Jimmer leads rookies in scoring, passing and Ole's. Make 2nd round of playoffs and Salmons is not here by seasons end.

I will also add that with the "brick by brick" initiative being viewed as "the people's house"

A fitting name might be “The People’s Palace” – and please, do not jpeg a picture of Mao, I am trying to be encouraging, not coy.

Wait a damn second, I think you may be on to something.

The Mayor said he hopes to raise $5-10 million with the brick by brick campaign. The naming rights deal with Power Balance is $750k per year. If the people put up $7.5 million for this thing, that’s a 10-year naming rights deal. Anyone who buys a brick gets to make a nomination, some committee narrows all of the nominations down to 10 finalists, and then everyone that donated gets to cast a vote for their favorite. That would be friggin’ awesome.
