Russell Wilson joining Seattle Arena investment group
Details of Wilson's level of investment were not released, but he brings celebrity clout to a project that has seen progress and significant setbacks since it first started five years ago.
Hansen has been the primary investor, with members of the Nordstrom family and former Seattle SuperSonics team president and minority owner Wally Walker also part of the investment group.
The city has acknowledged Hansen's intent while also opening a request for proposals for a possible renovation of KeyArena, the former home of the SuperSonics.
