 PROFILE
After years of being grounded, the Seattle Seahawks football franchise is starting to take flight. Former Green Bay Packer coach Mike Holmgren led the club to the AFC West title during his first season in 1999 (its first postseason berth since 1987). The Seahawks also are getting a new $400 million stadium to replace the Kingdome, which was demolished in 2000. (The team will play at the University of Washington's Husky Stadium until construction is completed in 2002.) The franchise was originally awarded to department store magnate Lloyd Nordstrom and began competing in 1976. In 1997 Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen bought the team for $200 million from real estate developer Ken Behring.
