As a Seattle native who remembers the old stadium, this was both entertaining and a bit painful to watch. It was already certainly not up to MLB standards the Pilots moved into it: Too few seats, too few restrooms, too few concession stands and amenities. But everyone knew, including the MLB Commissioner and AL President and Board of Govenors that it was supposed to be a very temporary home. The city and county were pushing forward on plans to build a modern multi-purpose stadium. It turned out to be the very ugly and quickly obsolete Kingdome. Thank goodness it's been replaced by Lumen Field (Seahawks, Sounders) and T-Mobile Park (Mariners). But the description of Emil Sick was a bit slanted and unfair. Sick was a tireless civic promoter who loved this town. He served on the Chamber of Commerce and worked to further numerous philanthropic causes. His enthusiatic leadership helped Seattle put on the highly successful worlds fair of 1962, save the landmark St. Marks Cathedral, and build the Museum of History and Industry. He also served as state chairman for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and helped found the King County Central Blood Banks. He saw his purchase of the Seattle Rainiers as a civic duty to thank a community that had already made him the richest man in Seattle. Without him, the financially ailing Seattle Indians would have been disbanded leaving the city without a team. Of course he got a lot of promotional mileage out of owning the team! Changing the name to Rainiers gave it a regional ring that resonated with the fans (We have that big, imposing mountain of the same name towering over the local landscape). But saying he bought it only for the promotional value belies his undeniable stature as a man who loved the city and was beloved in return. As for the construction cost, this story made it sound like Sick was a tight wad who built the stadium on the cheap. To the contrary, his expenditures were in line with other projects of that era. The Los Angeles Angel's home, Wrigley Field was built for $1.25 million but they had to buy and clear the land. In comparison, Gilmore Field, home of the Hollywood Stars was built for $250,000. The reason they built it for so little is that they already owned the land. Same goes for Sicks Stadium: When Sick bought the financially ailing Seattle Indians he bought the lot on which team's former home Dugdale Park (destroyed by fire) had once sat. That site became the site of Sicks Stadium. His prior ownership of the land saved him hundreds of thousands of dollars in construction costs. It's important to note that he did in fact, pay an inflated price to purchase the team, in part because he was acquiring the site. But because that cost wasn't directly tied to the actual construction, it wasn't part of the construction cost. As for using wood as the primary material: To a large degree Seattle was a town that was built on logging and fishing. In the 1930s it was still very much a timber town and Sick saw it as a civic duty to support the local mills by using a lot of wood. When it was completed the stadium was considered one of the finest in all the minor leagues for its sightlines and airyness. Could and should Sick have used more metal and concrete in place of wood? Maybe, but there are a lot of wooden houses, hundreds of years old still standing. The photos used in this video, of warping steps etc. weren't from the era in which Sick owned it, but rather from the late '70s just before the old stadium was demolished. It had been the victim of 12 or 15 years of neglect by then.

[@sole1014]

As a 13 year old who went to several of the games at Sick it was magic (despite what others have commented). To see and cheer for MLB players like Tommy Harper as well as others from other major league teams was all that was needed in the eyes of a young baseball fan. Back then when double headers were common you would show up on a Saturday around 1pm and not leave till way after 7 or 8pm. Yes, the Pilots had their problems as did the stadium, but in truth they were never given a chance to make it work because of the opening scheduling placed on them and the big money from other cities dogging them. They certainly were no worse that the Mariners (who haven't made it to the World Series in how many years of existence?)

[@jesseblair5673]

I guess it was dangerous to go to the bathroom after the first or second inning.

[@bemore1134]

They hated Bud? I mean, I guess Selig could've left the Pilots alone & not bought them. How long would they have survived, awash in all the red ink? Selig wanted to find a team for Milwaukee, it was his passion ever since the Braves left. The White Sox, who played limited games in Milwaukee at the time, were courted but stayed put. Buying the Pilots was a no-brainer. Had they been able to delay the franchise two or three years & get a ballpark built, maybe a different story.

I've read some of the comments regarding Sick's Stadium and most of them aren't positive. As for myself, the Stadium has very fond memories. It was the summer of '72 and I was 14yrs of age and a very big baseball fan, the BIG Red Machine was steam rolling in the NL West and minor baseball had made a comeback. The Seattle Rainiers had returned to Seattle and they were affiliated with the SF Giants of the NL. My younger brother and I would attend several games that summer, especially on Sunday afternoon to watch a double header, back then you could bring your own food into the stadium, so we would stop at Mickey D's and buy burgers & fries and we had a GOOD time. I loved how the ground crew maintained the playing field, it was breath taking for me when I would walk inside the stadium and go up the stairs to the first level of seating and see the luscious green field waiting for the players to "take the field" and shortly thereafter the Umpire would yell "Play ball." Those are my memories of Seattle Sick's Stadium.

In preparation for landing a team, which took longer than planned, the team's colors were supposed to be black and red. Bud's group bought the Pilots 6 days before opening day in 1970. With no time to get new uniforms they simply removed "Pilots", replacing it with "Brewers" in the old Pilots blue and gold. Go Brewers!
