RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks will induct late owner Paul Allen into the club's Ring of Honor before Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Allen purchased the Seahawks in 1997 and helped keep the team in Seattle after former owner Ken Behring attempted to move them to Southern California. He owned the franchise until his death last year from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Jody Allen, Allen's sister, became the controlling owner and chair of the franchise. She says the induction "celebrates Paul's legacy and the impact he made on not only the Seahawks organization, but the entire Pacific Northwest.
