Seattle Seahawks Tickets
For longtime fans of the Seahawks it has been a couple of good years. They made it to the Super Bowl in January of 2006 (and had the refs not been idiots it might have been a close game…) and again in 2007 the team rockin’ and rollin’. of course that means tickets can be hard to come by. If you are in need of tickets I think the three bast places to search (after the team box office) are We Have Seats, TicketsNow, and StubHub. In my experience these three represent the best prices and availibility on aftermarket tickets on the Web — most other sources usually are just reselling the stuff for these guys. Good luck!
Here a bit of Seahawk trivia for you to chew on as well…
The Seattle Seahawks are a professional American football team based in Seattle, Washington. They are currently members of the Western Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The team, along with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, joined the NFL in 1976 as expansion teams.
Seattle is currently the only team in the NFL that has played in both the AFC (American Football Conference) and NFC Championship Games. The Seahawks have one Super Bowl appearance, losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XL.
* The Seahawks conduct summer training camp at Eastern Washington University in Cheney, just southwest of Spokane. During the Seahawks’ first ten seasons (1976-1985), summer training camps were held in Cheney. When the team’s present headquarters in Kirkland were completed in 1986, the Seahawks held camp at home for the next eleven seasons (1986-1996), staying in the dormitories of the adjacent Northwest College. Under Dennis Erickson the team returned to the hotter and more isolated Cheney in 1997, where they will hold training camp through 2007. The Seahawks are scheduled to move their summer training camp back to suburban Seattle in 2008, when their new Renton complex is completed.
* As a tribute to the raucus fans that made the Kingdome the loudest stadium in the NFL the Seahawks retired the number 12 on December 15, 1984. Since then #12 Jerseys have been sold by the team and worn by Seahawk fans, often with the name “Fan” on the back. The Seahawks also have a ceremony before each home game where a flag bearing the #12 is raised by a prominent individual. In the 2005 season the fans were again making a difference in games and were recognized with the presentation of a special game ball for their efforts in a game against the New York Giants, a game in which the Giants committed 11 false start penalties due in large part to the crowd noise.[7]
* The team was in a legal limbo for a while between the 2005 and 2006 season with Texas A&M University over the use of the phrase “12th Man”. Both parties settled out of court with Seattle agreeing to acknowledge ownership rights to the 12th Man slogan to A&M. In return the Seahawks are able to use the phrase as originally planned. [5]
* While Blitz has been the Seahawks’ official mascot since 1998, Taima the augur hawk debuted in September of 2006. Taima leads the team out of the tunnel before the game and circles the stadium before returning to his handler, Dave Knutson.
