Seattle Pilots rescue bid gains new backers
Theater owner Fred Danz reports three leading businessmen joined his group to finance a Seattle Pilots purchase. The main hurdle is a 3.5 million past due debt to Bank of California, with $750,000 offered by the bank and $750,000 plus potential 0.5 to 1 million from William Daley of Cleveland for a 25 percent stake. A $1 million advance ticket drive over three years aims to sway financiers and resolve the debt so stadium upgrades and a 50,000 seat domed stadium can proceed.
