This installation features approximately 5,000 pieces celebrating the Seattle Sonics' 41 seasons in the city, including the 1996 Western Conference Championship Banner. The exhibit aims to engage new fans who may not remember the team's departure nearly two decades ago. Curator Glenn Nelson reflects on the emotional connection the memorabilia sparks and emphasizes the importance of recalling the team's impact on Seattle.
