April 28, 2016 Me and Paul Allen, the Co-Founder of Microsoft

In 1987 I was lending money in both the commercial mortgage banking arena and also looking at possible investments as a general partner with the network of financial professionals from my company, Financial Management Group, Ltd.,. We had raised $90 million dollars in investments in our first nine months of operation, August of 1986 to June of 1987. One of my clients was Reginald Pattey and his wife. Reg was an executive for RCA Corporation, which later became Burhle Industries. Reg had informed me that Harold Krall was forming a new company, which was later named Cardinal Technologies, and asked me to see if there was an opportunity for me to fund the start-up. Now, also in the mix was a close college friend of mine named Tom Circe, who had taken over his father's position as Director of Personnel at RCA. Now, of course it never came to fruition because of me blowing the whistle on International Signal and Control, or ISC in June of 1987.

Fast forward to the beginning of Advanced Media Group and my work at American Helix at 1857 Colonial Village Lane, Lancaster, PA, or Dale High's Greenfield Industrial Park. For the record, American Helix was funded through my company Financial Management Group, Ltd., when Dave Deering solicited Scott Robertson for financing for American Helix after a deal with an Angel Investor fell through. Scott went and did the deal with Dale High and Company. Now, in the meantime, Harold Krall sold Cardinal Technologies, or a majority stake to Paul Allen. Cardinal was located just 2 buildings down from American Helix. In or about 1989 I met with Harold Krall, who took me on a tour of his company to see if there were any joint venture opportunities between me and Cardinal Technologies.

Now, in that same time frame I had been contacted by Microsoft for a possible deal to sell them 2,000 applications of my CD Diagnostic software program, which was a joint venture between me and the developer, Tom Brown, of Boston, Massachusetts. Tom had granted me the exclusive selling rights worldwide. I had sold the software all over the world. It was a diagnostic tool to help people set up CD- ROM drives and test their performance. Microsoft had wanted to distribute it to their employees at the headquarters in Seattle, Washington. Well, along came ABC News and the ISC scandal broke wide open and I was again covered-up. And that is a fact, Jack!

Caterbone, Pro Se Litigant ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP ® Freedom From Covert Harassment & Surveillance, Registered in Pennsylvania 1250 Fremont Street Lancaster, PA 17603 www.amgglobalentetainmentgroup.com [email protected] 717-669-2163 In 1987 I became a federal whistleblower for the case of local defense contractor International Signal and Control, or ISC. ISC was a black ops program for the NSA and CIA that was convicted in 1992 for an elaborate scheme to arm Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries with a broad array of weapons, most notably cluster bombs. It was the third larges fraud in U.S. History at that time. I have been a victim of organized stalking since 1987 and a victim of electronic and direct energy weapons since 2005. I had also been telepathic since 2005. In 2005 the U.S. Sponsored Mind Control turned into an all-out assault of mental telepathy; synthetic telepathy; hacking of all electronic devices; vandilism and thefts of personal property, extortions, intellectual property violations, obstruction of justice; violations of due process; thefts and modifications of court documents; and pain and torture through the use of directed energy devices and weapons that usually fire a low frequency electromagnetic energy at the targeted victim. This assault was no coincidence in that it began simultaneously with the filing of the federal action in U.S. District Court, or CATERBONE v. Lancaster County Prison, et. al., or 05-cv-2288. This assault began after the handlers remotely trained/sychronized Stan J. Caterbone with mental telepathy. The main difference opposed to most other victims of this technology is that I am connected 24/7 with the same person who declares telepathically she is a known celebrity. Over the course of 10 years I have been telepathic with at least 20 known persons and have spent 10 years trying to validate and confirm their identities without success. Most U.S. intelligence agencies refuse to cooperate, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office refuse to comment and act on the numerous formal complaints that are filed in their respective offices. Most complaints are focused on the routine victimization's of a targeted individual including but not limited to stalking, harassment, threats, vandalism, thefts, extortion, burglaries, false imprisonments, fabricated mental health warrants or involuntary commitments, pain and torture to the body, and most often the cause of obstruction of justice is the computer hacking.

I have a very sophisticated and authentic library of evidence of the use of U.S. Sponsored Mind Control technologies on my father and brother that dates back to the 1940's while my father was in the U.S. Navy after he graduated with honors from Air Gunners School in Florida, including an affidavit motorized and authenticated by my father in 1996. My brother served in the U.S. Air force and was victim to LSD experiments of the infamous MKULTRA program in the late 1960's. In 2015 I filed an amicus curie on behalf of Lisa Michelle Lambert who was convicted in 1992 of the murder of Laurie Show, both of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I currently am in litigation in the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals and in February of 2016 Lisa Michelle Lambert published her book titled “Corruption in Lancaster County – My Story”, which is available in bookstores and on Amazon.com. I am in frequent contact with her co-author, Dave Brown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In 2009 I Proposed an ORGANIZED STALKING AND DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS HARASSMENT BILL to Pennsylvania House of Representative Mike Sturla (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) and City of Lancaster Mayor Richard Gray in 2009. The draft legislation is the work of Missouri House of Representative Jim Guest, who has been working on helping victims of these horrendous crimes for years. The bill will provide protections to individuals who are being harassed, stalked, harmed by surveillance, and assaulted; as well as protections to keep individuals from becoming human research subjects, tortured, and killed by electronic frequency devices, directed energy devices, implants, and directed energy weapons. I again reintroduced the bill to the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 2015 and frequented the Pennsylvania Capitol trying to find support and a sponsor; which I still do to this day.

In 2005 I, as a Pro Se Litigant filed several civil actions as Plaintiffs in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the United States Third District Court of Appeals, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, The Pennsylvania Superior Court, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, The Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. These litigations included violations of intellectual property rights, anti-trust violations, and interference of contracts relating to several business interests, harassment, extortion, fraud, etc.,. . Central to this litigation is the Digital Movie, Digital Technologies, Financial Management Group, Ltd,/FMG Advisory, Ltd., and it’s affiliated businesses along with a Federal False Claims Act or Federal Whistleblowers Act regarding the firm of International Signal and Control, Plc., (ISC) the $1Billion Dollar Fraud and the Export violations of selling arms to South Africa and Iraq. This litigation dates back to 1987. In 1987 I microfiched some 10,000 pages of documents that prove this story without any doubt. I also have recorded conversations of persons and government officials.

Early life and Microsoft

Paul Allen was born January 21, 1953 in Seattle, Washington to Kenneth Sam Allen and Edna Faye (née Gardner) Allen. [9] Allen attended Lakeside School, a private school in Seattle, where he befriended Bill Gates, three years younger, with whom he shared an enthusiasm for computers. [10] They used Lakeside's Teletype terminal to develop their programming skills on several time-sharing computer systems. [10] After graduation, Allen went to Washington State University, where he joined Phi Kappa Theta fraternity, [11] but dropped out after two years in order to work as a programmer for Honeywell in Boston, near where Bill Gates had ended up as well. [10] Allen later convinced Gates to drop out of Harvard University in order to create Microsoft.

Microsoft

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, Paul Allen with his friend Bill Gates, in 1975, began marketing a BASIC programming language interpreter. [10] Allen came up with the original name of "Micro-Soft," as recounted in a 1995 Fortune magazine article. [12] In 1980, after promising to deliver IBM a Disk Operating System (DOS) they had not yet developed for the Intel 8088-based IBM PC, Allen spearheaded a deal for Microsoft to purchase a Quick and Dirty Operating System (QDOS) which was written by Tim Paterson who, at the time, was employed at Seattle Computer Products. As a result of this transaction, Microsoft was able to secure a contract to supply the DOS that would eventually run on IBM's PC line. This contract with IBM was the watershed in Microsoft history that led to Allen's and Gates' wealth and success. [10]

Allen was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1982. His cancer was successfully treated by several months of radiation therapy. However, he did not return to Microsoft and began distancing himself from the company. [10] Allen officially resigned from his position on the Microsoft Board of Directors in November 2000 but was asked to consult as a senior strategy advisor to the company's executives and still owns a reported 100 million shares. [13]

Paul Allen has given more than $1.8 billion towards the advancement of science, technology, education, wildlife conservation, the arts and community services in his lifetime. [14] The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation was established to administer a portion of Allen's philanthropic contributions. Since its formation, the foundation has given more than $494 million to over 1,500 nonprofits and [15] in 2010, Allen became a signatory of The Giving Pledge, promising to give at least half of his fortune to philanthropic causes. [16] Allen has received commendations for his philanthropic commitments including the Andrew Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy [17] and Inside Philanthropy's "Philanthropist of the Year." [18]

Science and research

Allen Institute for Brain Science

In September 2003, Allen launched the Allen Institute for Brain Science with a $100 million contribution dedicated to understanding how the human brain works. In total, Paul Allen has donated $500 million to the institute, making it his single largest philanthropic recipient. Since its launch, the Allen Institute for Brain Science has taken a Big Science and Open Science approach to tackle projects. The institute makes research tools available to the scientific community using an open data model. [19] Some of the institute’s most notable projects include the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas, Allen Human Brain Atlas and the Allen Mouse Brain Connectivity Atlas. The Allen Institute is also helping to advance and shape the White House’s BRAIN Initiative as well as the Human Paul G. Allen (right) studies a brain sample with Allen Brain Project.[20] Institute for Brain Science's CEO Allan Jones.

Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence Science

Founded in 2014, the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2) main focus is to research and engineer artificial intelligence.[21] The Institute is modeled after the Allen Institute for Brain Science and led by researcher and Professor, Dr. Oren Etzioni. AI2 has undertaken four main projects, Aristo, Semantic Scholar, Euclid and Plato. Project Aristo is working to build an AI system capable of passing an 8th grade science exam. [22]

Allen Institute for Cell Science

In December 2014, Allen committed $100 million to create the Allen Institute for Cell Science in Seattle. The

institute is investigating and creating a virtual model of cells in the hope of bringing forth treatment of different diseases. [23] Like the institutes before it, all data generated and tools developed will be made publicly available online. [24]

Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group

Launched in 2016 with a $100 million commitment, The Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group aims to discover and support ideas at the frontier of bioscience in an effort accelerate the pace of discovery. [25] The group is led by Tom Skalak and will be targeting scientists and research areas that ″some might consider out-of-the-box at the very edges of knowledge. ″[26]

Allen Distinguished Investigator Awards

Allen launched the Allen Distinguished Investigators (ADI) Awards in 2010 to support scientists pursuing early-stage research projects who often have difficulty securing funding from traditional sources. [27] The ADI grant program backs pioneering researchers in the areas of emerging life sciences technology to cellular decision-making and neural engineering with the intent that research made possible by these grants will advance each respective field.

Allen Telescope Array

Paul Allen donated the seed money to build SETI's radio telescope array, eventually contributing $30 million to the project. [28]

Miscellaneous

Allen has a flower fly named after him for his contributions to Dipterology, called Paul Allen's flower fly. [29]

Environment and Conservation

Allen has bankrolled a range of wildlife conservation projects over the past several years, including contributing millions in direct gifts and grants to program, projects, initiatives and charities. By marrying technology development with philanthropic interests, he is working to address the trafficking of endangered species and ensure stable or thriving generations of wild animals.

Great Elephant Census

Allen provided more than $7 million to fund the census, the largest pan-African aerial survey since the 1970s. The Great Elephant Census team is flying over 20 countries to survey the African savannah elephants with hopes that the accurate and up-to-date data will spur immediate protective actions and long-term conservation management plans. [30]

Sea Around Us

Allen began supporting the University of British Columbia's Sea Around Us Project in 2014 to improve data on global fisheries as a way to fight illegal fishing. Part of his $2.6 million in funding will go to create FishBase, [31] an online database about adult finfish. [32]

Global FinPrint

Launched in July 2015, Paul Allen is funding the Global FinPrint initiative, a three-year survey of sharks and rays in coral reef areas. The survey is the largest of its kind and designed to provide data to help conservation programs. The initiative is a partnership between Allen's Vulcan Inc, Stony Brook University, Florida International University, James Cook University and the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences. Survey results will be made available in summer 2018. [33]

Initiative 1401

Allen backed a Washington state initiative to prohibit the purchase, sale and distribution of products made from 10 endangered species including elephants, rhinos, lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, marine turtles, pangolins, sharks and rays. The initiative gained enough signatures to be on the state's ballot on November 3, 2015, and passed. [34]

Smart City Challenge

Alongside the United States Department of Transportation, Allen and Vulcan Inc. launched the Smart City Challenge, [35] a contest inviting American cities to transform their transportation systems. Created in 2015 with USDOT's $40 million commitment as well as $10 million from Allen's Vulcan Inc., the challenge aims to create a first-of-its-kind modern city that will demonstrate how cities can improve quality of life while lowering greenhouse gas emissions. [36] The winning city will be named in June 2016.

Smart Catch

Created in 2015, the Smart Catch program is designed for chefs by chefs to recognize and promote restaurants serving sustainable seafood. The program right now is being used by over 80 restaurants in Seattle.

The International SeaKeepers Society

A founding member, Paul Allen hosts its proprietary SeaKeeper 1000TM oceanographic and atmospheric monitoring system on all three of his megayachts. [37]

Paul Allen also has a long history of investing in Africa. Including the following:

Microgrids, Paul Allen is currently funding the building of microgrids, which are small-scale power grids that can operate independently, in Kenya to help promote reusable energy and empower its businesses and residents. [38] Wireless broadband, Allen was an early investor in the Mawingu Networks, a wireless and solar-powered Internet provider which aims to connect rural Africa with the world. Off Grid Electric, a company focused on providing solar energy to people in emerging nations, Allen's investment is giving Tanzanians the ability to access electrical service for a very little cost. [39]

Ebola

In 2014, Paul Allen pledged at least $100 million toward the fight to end the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa,[40] making him the largest private donor in the Ebola crisis. He also created a website called

5 of 18 4/28/2016 3:14 PM Paul Allen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Allen

TackleEbola.org [41] as a way to spread awareness as well as serve as a way donors can fund projects in need. The site additionally highlights organizations working to stop Ebola that Allen supports such as International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, Médecins Sans Frontières, Partners In Health, UNICEF and World Food Program USA. On April 21, 2015, Allen brought together key leaders in the Ebola fight at the Ebola Innovation Summit in San Francisco. The summit aimed to share key learnings and reinforce the need for continued action and support to bring the number of Ebola cases down to zero. [42] As part of his ongoing commitment to end the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the Paul Allen Foundation partnered with the United States Department of State and MRIGlobal to develop a new first of its kind medevac biocontainment units. [43] These units will be used by the U.S. State Department to help safely evacuate healthcare workers who might fall ill to infectious diseases such as Ebola.

In October 2015, the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation announced it would award seven new grants totaling $11 million to prevent future widespread outbreaks of the virus. [44]

The arts

An active art collector, Paul Allen has gifted more than $100 million to support the arts. [45] On October 15, 2012, the Americans for the Arts awarded Allen with the Eli and Edythe Broad Award for Philanthropy in the Arts. [46] Allen has also loaned out more than 300 pieces from his private art collection to 47 different venues. In 2013, Allen sold Barnett Newman's Onement VI (1953) at Sotheby's in New York for $43.8 million,[47] surpassing its estimate of $30 million to $40 million. [48]

In 2015, Allen founded the Seattle Art Fair, a four-day event with 60+ galleries from around the world including works from the Gagosian Gallery, David Zwirner and many others. The event drew thousands and inspired other satellite fairs throughout the city. [49] Also in 2015, Allen announced that he'd be opening up Pivot Art + Culture, a gallery that will be located in the new Allen Institute for Brain Science building. The gallery is scheduled to open in the winter of 2015. [50]

Museums and collections

Over the years, Paul Allen has established several non-profit community institutions that feature his private collections of historic artifacts. These include:

EMP Museum, a collection of rock 'n' roll and pop culture exhibits inside a Frank Gehry-designed building at Seattle Center, established in 2000. [51] The EMP Museum also houses the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame. Flying Heritage Collection, which showcases restored vintage military aircraft and armaments primarily from the World War II era, established in 2004. [52] STARTUP Gallery, a permanent exhibit at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science in Albuquerque dedicated to the history of the microcomputer, established in 2007. [53] Living Computer Museum, a collection of vintage computers in working order and available for interactive sessions on-site or through networked access, opened to the public in 2012. [54][55]

6 of 18 4/28/2016 3:14 PM Paul Allen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Allen

was named after his father Kenneth S. Allen, a former associate director of the University of Washington library system. [56] In the same year, Allen donated an additional $8 million to establish the Kenneth S. Allen Library Endowment. [57] In 2012, the endowment was renamed the Kenneth S. and Faye G. Allen Library Endowment after Allen's mother (a noted bibliophile) died. [58]

In 2002, Allen donated $14 million to the University of Washington to construct the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science and Engineering. [59] The building was dedicated in October 2003. [60]

In 2010, Allen announced a gift of $26 million to build the Paul G. Allen School of Global Animal Health at Washington State University, his alma mater. The gift is the largest private donation in the university's history. [61]

Business ventures and investments

Financial and technology

Vulcan Capital is the investment-arm of Allen's Seattle-based Vulcan Inc., which manages his personal fortune. In 2013, Allen opened a new Vulcan Capital office in Palo Alto, California to focus on making new investments in emerging technology and internet companies. [62] Recent investments include Redfin, Decide.com and Audience Inc. Patents: Paul Allen holds 43 patents from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.[63] Apps: Allen backed A.R.O., the startup behind the mobile app Saga; [64] SportStream, a social app for sports fans; [65] and a content-management app called Fayve.[66] Interval Research Corporation: In 1992, Allen and David Liddle co-founded Interval Research Corporation, a Silicon Valley-based laboratory and new business incubator that was dissolved in 2000 after generating over 300 patents, [67] four of which were the subject of Allen's August 2010 patent infringement lawsuit against AOL, Apple, eBay, Facebook, Google, Netflix, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Staples, Yahoo!, and YouTube.[68][69] Ticketmaster: In 1993, Paul Allen invested $243 million to acquire 80% of Ticketmaster. In 1997, Home Shopping Network acquired 47.5% of Allen's stock for $209 million worth of HSN stock. [70]

Aerospace

Allen confirmed that he was the sole investor behind Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites' SpaceShipOne suborbital commercial spacecraft on October 4, 2004. [71] SpaceShipOne climbed to an altitude of 377,591 feet (115,090 m) and was the first privately funded effort to successfully put a civilian in suborbital space. It won the Ansari X Prize competition and received the $10 million prize. [72]

On December 13, 2011, Allen announced the creation of Stratolaunch Systems. Stratolaunch is a proposed orbital launch system consisting of a dual-bodied, 6 engine jet aircraft, capable of carrying a rocket to high altitude; the rocket would then separate from its carrier aircraft and fire its own engines to complete its climb into orbit. If successful, this project would be the first wholly privately funded space transport system. [73] Stratolaunch, which is partnering with Orbital Sciences Corporation and Scaled Composites, is intended to launch in inclement weather, fly without worrying about the availability of launch pads and to operate from different locations. Stratolaunch plans to ultimately host six to ten missions per year. [74] On April 13, 2015, Vulcan Aerospace was announced. It is the company within Paul Allen’s Vulcan Inc. that plans and executes

Real estate

Allen's Vulcan Real Estate division offers a full range of development and portfolio management services from site selection and urban planning to build-to-suit construction, leasing and asset repositioning. Its real estate model is based on quality, sustainable development that builds new value across the entire community. Vulcan Real Estate is widely known for the redevelopment of the South Lake Union neighborhood immediately north of downtown Seattle and nestled along the south shore of Lake Union. Today South Lake Union is a mixed-use neighborhood that is home to many innovative companies that are leaders in technology, life sciences, global health and business, many of which are located in Vulcan developed properties. [76] Vulcan has developed 6.3 million square feet of new residential, office, retail and biotechnology research space and has a total development capacity of 10,000,000 square feet (930,000 m2). The South Lake Union redevelopment represents one of the largest urban revitalization projects in the country. Allen's investments in South Lake Union have proven to be an economic catalyst and more than $5.7 billion has been invested in the neighborhood since 2002 for development projects and public infrastructure improvements. Vulcan advocated for the Seattle Streetcar line known as South Lake Union Streetcar, which runs from Seattle's Westlake Center to the south end of Lake

8 of 18 4/28/2016 3:14 PM Paul Allen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Allen

Union. The Streetcar is a public and private partnership made possible because of a Local Improvement District (LID) supported by businesses and residents along the line; The LID provided 50% of the funding while the remainder came from Federal and State sources with no city money used for its development costs. [77] The streetcar officially started operation on December 12, 2007. This development has been criticized as a city-supported real estate investment for Vulcan Inc., [78] and concerns over the loss of low-income housing have been expressed.

In 2012, The Wall Street Journal called Allen's South Lake Union investment "unexpectedly lucrative" and one that led to his firm selling a 1,800,000 square feet (170,000 m2) office complex to Amazon.com for US$1.16 billion, one of the most expensive office deals ever in Seattle. [79] "It's exceeded my expectations," Mr. Allen said of the South Lake Union development.

In September 2014, Vulcan made a commitment to invest $200 million at Yesler Terrace where it will purchase three land parcels from the Seattle Housing Authority as part of an ambitious redevelopment plan for the 30 acre site located southeast of downtown Seattle. [80]

Venues

Sports and event centers : Allen invested more than $150 million in Portland's Moda Center, which he now owns outright. He also contributed more than $140 million to help build CenturyLink Field in Seattle. Seattle Cinerama: Allen purchased Seattle's historic Cinerama Theater in 1998, and upgraded it with 3-D capability and digital sound, in addition to interior and exterior refurbishing. The theater installed the world's first commercial digital laser projector in 2014. Hospital Club: Allen opened the Hospital Club in London in 2002 as a professional and social hub for people working in the creative arts.

Vessels

Octopus

The launch of Paul Allen's 414 feet (126 m) yacht, Octopus , secured its position as one of the world's largest yachts in 2003. [81] As of 2013, it is 14th in the list of motor yachts by length. The yacht is equipped with two helicopters, a submarine, an ROV, a swimming pool, a music studio and a basketball court. [82]

Allen has loaned Octopus for a number of operations. Most notably, Octopus was used in the search for a missing American pilot and two [83] officers whose plane disappeared off Palau and the study of a rare fish Octopus off the Grand Cayman [84] called a coelacanth among many others.

Sports team ownership

Portland Trail Blazers

Allen purchased the Portland Trail Blazers NBA team in 1988 from California real estate developer Larry Weinberg for $70 million. [3] He was instrumental in the development and funding of the Moda Center (previously known as the Rose Garden), the arena where the Blazers play. He purchased the arena on April 2, 2007, and stated that this was a major milestone and a positive step for the franchise. [10][92] Since taking over the franchise, the Allen-owned Trail Blazers have reached the playoffs 19 times including the NBA Finals in 1990 and 1992 (As of July 2015) [93] According to Forbes, the Blazers were valued at $940 million in 2015 and ranked No. 12 out of 30 NBA teams. [94]

Seattle Seahawks

Allen purchased the Seattle Seahawks NFL team in 1996 when former owner Ken Behring threatened to move the Seahawks to Southern California. [2] Herman Sarkowsky, a former Seahawks minority owner, told The Seattle Times about Allen's decision to buy the team, "I'm not sure anybody else in this community would have done what [Allen] did." [95] The Seahawks are valued at $1.33 billion in August 2014 by Forbes, which says the team has "one of the most rabid fan bases in the NFL." [96] Under the helm of Allen, the Seahawks have been to the Super Bowl three times winning Super Bowl XLVIII and have won three NFC Championships (2005, 2013, 2014). [97]

Seattle Sounders FC

Allen's Vulcan Sports & Entertainment is part of the ownership team of the Seattle Sounders FC, a Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise that began play in 2009 at CenturyLink Field, a stadium also controlled by Allen. [4] The ownership team also includes film producer Joe Roth, businessman Adrian Hanauer, and comedian Drew Carey. The Sounders sold out every home game during its first season, setting a new MLS record for average match attendance and the most season tickets sold in the league. Seattle Sounders FC is only the second expansion team in MLS history to win the U.S. Open Cup tournament in its first season.
