I know there are still a few of people in Seattle who lament the loss of the Pilots, but in the end (and with the benefit of hindsight), it's tough to argue that the failure of the Pilots didn't work out for the best for both the city of Seattle & MLB. The four-team expansion of 1969 was haphazard & half-assed. Seattle (& Montreal, for that matter) should have been given more time to build a proper, MLB-worthy facility. When MLB finally did return to Seattle in '77, it was done the right way.

Not in Seattle, The bridge was in Tacoma, called the Narrows Bridge. However There was a floating bridge on Lake Washington (in Seattle) that "sunk" when the pontoons filled with water during a storm in the early 90's.

I'm not mistaken yet didn't the Pilots have to play the final 20 home games on the road?I guess that the attendance was so bad of course the stadium.Isn't Seattle where they built a bridge over Puget sound in the 1940's then a few months later it collapsed during a bad storm?No knock on Seattle I think it is a very good city.

If the Mariners brass were smart people, they would put a weekend aside (perferably during Seafair) every season to have a Salute to the Pilots and Rainiers weekend.
