Three major Sodo District pro teams and backers of a proposed arena reached an agreement to avoid scheduling conflicts in advance of Seattle City Council vote Monday.

A city-brokered deal on event scheduling was announced Thursday between the three major Sodo District professional teams and backers of a proposed multi-sport arena project.

The deal, reached Wednesday night, sets a three-hour minimum between the projected end of one game and the start of another on the same day and prohibits arena events that overlap with major CenturyLink and Safeco Field crowds. It also prevents any arena events from starting between 4 p.
