The hidden sports history at Seattle's 5th and University

Many of you quickly guessed our mystery location from last week: we were at 5th Avenue and University Street, looking toward the former IBM building.

• The location was remembered by many readers as the past home of a Benihana restaurant.
• Several of you also noted that that the building was the work of Seattle-born architect Minoru Yamasaki, who designed the World Trade Center in New York, as well as Seattle's Rainier Tower and Pacific Science Center.

And there's more: A plaque remembers the site as the former location of the Seattle Ice Arena, where the Seattle Metropolitans became the first U.S. team to win the Stanley Cup in 1917.

• The arena was used as a parking garage for many years before eventually being torn down in 1963.

Thanks to all of you for playing — we'll try to do a better job of stumping you next week!

Editor's note: This story has been corrected to reflect that the team's mystery location was at 5th Avenue and University (not 5th Avenue and Union).
