Chapter 372: Public Enemy

Yu Fei knew the Mariners; he couldn't possibly not know them, as the Supersonics' desire for a better stadium stemmed from there.

In 1995, the Mariners were only a step away from leaving Seattle. They wanted a new stadium because the old-fashioned Kingdome looked like a mobile toilet, not only stinking but also failing to ensure the safety of the fans on-site. Then, the Seattle government approved a financing plan that granted the Mariners a luxurious stadium costing 500 million US dollars.

Thus, the Seahawks, also settled in Seattle, became envious, wanting a new stadium for themselves. If their demands were not met, they would move the team to Los Angeles.

The Seahawks even went a step further than the Mariners; they had already prepared a relocation plan. Just before the plan was to be executed, Paul Allen bought the team from the owners of the Seahawks and then he generously funded the next election, smoothly securing city financing to construct a new stadium for the Seahawks.
