So, by now I figure you’ve heard the news: Force 10, L.L.C., a group of local businesswomen, has secured an option to purchase the Seattle Storm. The Storm will remain in Seattle and continue to play at KeyArena.
This is an exciting day for Storm fans, and I’m sure there’s a lot on your mind. Here’s your chance to share your feedback with the prospective new ownership group and offer your reaction to the news.
I had a chance to chat with the new ownership group in its entirety as today’s press conference wrapped up and their passion for women’s athletics in general and the WNBA and the Storm in particular is obvious. I’m excited to see what that passion can do in terms of maintaining and expanding upon the Storm’s position as one of the (if not the) premier franchises in the WNBA.
Again, we’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is an answer to my prayers! As a “founding” Storm season ticket holder, I have been holding out hope that something like this would happen to keep our team in Seattle. I could not be happier!
Thank you for saving my favorite team. Force 10 rules! May can’t get here soon enough.
Having been original Storm season ticket holder, we am thrilled that Force 10 has come to the table to keep the Storm in Seattle where they belong. Although we now live in MN, we remain faithful Storm fans (who wants to be a Lynx fan?) and return each summer for several games.
Thank you Force 10!
I’m so proud of these four women and excited for the season! Counting down the days to May 17…
I am a passionate Storm fan just as the new owners are and believe me, if I had the money, there would be a fifth owner. Thank you so very much for keeping our team in Seattle. This team has the best chance of repeating their championship again. Leave it to the women!! I wish the local TV stations would broadcast more games as some of us are unable to attend. Thank you, thank you.
It is GREAT that the Seattle Storm will be staying in Seattle. Now what is needed is a good public promotion adventure. One way to be in the public “eye” (and ear), is to schedule ALL Seattle Storm games on FREE-OVER-THE-AIR television and (of course) radio. What a great way to bring the Storm to the people.
To Force 10 –
Thanks for stepping up & saving the Storm for all my Seattle relatives and all the Storm fans. I’ve been lucky enough to see a few Storm games at the Key Arena & it’s a special experience. What a great fan base you have! Although I live on the East Coast, I still celebrate your victory. As a Sun season ticket holder, I know the joy I felt when an independent source bought a team for our area. You are just what the WNBA needs – independent ownership from the NBA with the commitment to women’s sports for a long time to come. Seattle’s a great place to be again for Storm players & fans!
