| | Sports Business: Sale of Rainiers could lead to Tacoma losing Class AAA baseball |
 | | Seattle fell behind new No. 15 Nashville in criteria such as present sports climate, championships, playoff berths, regular season won-lost records, overall fan fervor (attendance and percent of capacity), ownership, ticket availability, abundance of teams, stadium quality, marquee appeal of athletes and quality of competition. |
| | But Brad Cheney has made it known that his main interest is to keep Class AAA ball alive in a stadium that over the years has hosted the top-level minor league teams for the San Francisco Giants, Oakland A's, Chicago Cubs, Minnesota Twins and others. |
