My First Seahawks Game!

I was THRILLED to find out from Greg that he got tickets for us to go to the season opener from a co-worker just days before the game! I have been wanting to experience my first NFL game, and what better way to do that than to experience Quest field in all of it's 12th man glory?!? I have never experienced electricity from a stadium like this...ever!

A pre-game shot...

We ran into some of Greg's buddies before the game...

It was super cool being right next to the 12th man flag! Here you see Chris Gray (a fellow Overlake-er) raising the flag...I had goose-bumps! The whole place was going nuts!

It was a beautiful sunny Seattle day!

This fan was unreal! He was a true 12th man...running up and down the stairs giving high-fives and all. Is it odd that I pictured him as a very reserved business man Monday thru Friday, but a super-fan on Sundays?!? :)

My cutie-hubby, binoculars and all...

I don't really think there is a bad seat in the house! We had an awesome view!

So our hawks ended up loosing to the 49ers in OT, but is was still an amazing experience! Here is my last shot of the day of my sad hubby...
Overall, it was a crazy fun day! Greg and I kept asking ourselves why we didn't have season tickets...we are going to call up the Hawks and put our name on the waiting list of oh, 15,000 or so. :)
I can't wait for our next game! I am hooked!

Looks like you had a great time. Ry and his brother have gone a couple of times and he has the funniest stories about fans and the raising of that 12th Man flag. He says there were people almost in tears as they watched it being raised. The noise is so loud there too. Amazing I tell ya!!
