this will be the seahawks last season where they get to have NINE home games a year scheduled for them,same goes for the other teams in the NFC west
Explain......
okay i know you are slow to grasp things all the time so here it is-
EVERY game in stank louis,the opposing teams fans ALWAYS greatly outnumber the dozen or so Ram fans that show up there kinda like if you go to a marlins/cubs game in florida the majority of the fans that show up for those games are always Cubs fans because they dont support them down there.same thing here.
so it is always a home game for the seahawks when they go there same as it is for all NFC west teams. The seahawks more so because their fans travel well.Got it? good.
Here is the proof in what I am talking about below to elaborate.
Not my words mind you,the st louis posts words.just a note,you got to answer the survey question they ask there to view the article in that link below...
Rams vs. Seattle: Plenty of good seats available : Sports
We’re making a push,” Demoff said. “We have more marketing out and around the Seattle game than we’ve ever had before for a season opener. Season tickets are down, so we have to make up some of the sales with single-game tickets.”
How far down are ticket sales? Demoff said team policy is not to reveal such numbers. But the “tickets distributed” numbers for home preseason games against Indianapolis and Kansas City tell you all you need to know.
The numbers for those games were 37,460 for Indy and 37,616 for KC. Some of those 37,000 were giveaways, but preseason games normally generate next to nothing in terms of single-game sales.
The moral to the story? The Rams’ season-ticket base is at minimum below 37,000. And unless the Rams have a monumental week in terms of single-ticket stales, we’re talking about an opening-day “crowd” of maybe about 40,000 in the 66,000-seat dome. Which easily would be a low for the Rams in St. Louis for a home opener, and probably a low for pro football in St. Louis going back to the days of the football Cardinals.
@vgregorian: "Considering the horde of Chiefs fans who traveled across the state, and the thousands of empty crimson seats on Thursday night at the Edward Jones Dome, a sea of red more suited to Arrowhead Stadium became the backdrop for their game against the Rams."
again its like that with ALL visiting teams there,not just the chiefs.
the only city in the country where baseball is bigger than football except for maybe new york with the yankees.
well i did my best to clear that up for ya as best as i knew how.lol
A highly unusual situation. Depending on if the word gets out to Seattle and Washington travel agencies and sports ticket outlets you could be right. I heard nothing about this development here in Seattle but I'm not hooked up in those circles either. It depends on other factors though also. Hotel availability, travel to and from the airport and in St Louis etc. Some Seattle fans might jump at the chance to get a good deal on good seats especially because our stadium is and has been sold out for a long time and the great seats are VERY expensive.
It sounds like the conditions for travel to see the Hawks in this first game of the season are lined up for an excellent chance to fly there this weekend and watch the Hawks crush the Rams.
The last game in St Louis was just a fluke win by some huge chances the Rams took on Special teams..TWICE! Jeff Fisher pulled off the "miracle" win catching the Hawks asleep at the wheel. That won't happen this Sunday. That is one of the major things the Hawks talked about in their press conferences.
Tyler Lockett has brought a new attention for Special teams with TWO special teams TDs in pre season and another huge bomb he reeled in for a third TD as a wide receiver. Our Special Teams quality sucked last season so they worked real hard on that third component this spring and pre season. Lockett is truly lightning in a bottle.
Have fun at the game. Lockett and Graham should make the Hawks even MORE exciting than they already were with Houdini Wilson at the helm and Lynch smashing over and around defenses.
Since carrol and schneider took over the organization and they snatched wilson who then became the face of the franchise,I would say with the exception of Green Bay because they are locally owned by the community "too bad all NFL teams are not huh?" and maybe Denver as well,that other than those two, since that time,Seattle fans are the best traveled because as you said,the games are sold out all the time there and are very expensive now which is why you see a lot of Seahawk fans go on road games.
same with Denver fans.games are always sold out there all the time as well and expensive so many of them travel here to kansas city to see them play in their yearly contests.
with the seats being so expensive up there as they are and the fact that seats in stank louis are actually more cheap there than they were back in the 60's in LA believe it or notas low as six bucks a piece,I guarantee you there will be thousands of fans at this game making the trip.
Matter of fact unless you have plans for the weekend and airfare is not a ticket you can afford now,you should go to the airport now and get your airline ticket and make your travel plans, after all this will be the cheapest NFL ticket you will ever get. hee hee
yeah your Hawks will indeed crush them this time I have no doubt.
The Hawks were not focused at all that time last year going through a rough spell having to deal with Harvin whom they traded that same week so this time their minds will be into it especially since it is the season opener for them at HOME no less basically.hee hee.
and believe me,i plan on having fun.I am all excited about it right now. I am taking a camera to take pictures of all those empty seats I will be able to look at for great entertainment in the future years .hee hee.
Like I said,not too late for you to go to the airport now and make your reservations for your flight and hotel.
You'll see a lot of fellow 12's there and the seahawk players will feel like this is a HOME game for them there just as they ALWAYS feel when they play there I can promise you that.![]()
If I had more $ laying around I would. That and one of my teeth blew up yesterday morning. I just got back from the dentist about an hour ago. She must have pumped half a gallon of Novocaine into the sucker to pull it and still it was too painful for the extraction. I'm gonna hit it with 10 days of anti biotics before deciding if it still needs pulled...so no...I won't be having any fun this weekend.
I plan on being blotto on pain killers but the Hawks victory will be at least a small enjoyment. Good thing I have the NFL Game Pass. I probably won't be able to remember the game. I'll just watch it in earnest on the GP after this tooth thing blows over.




But you of course still think they are never coming back.
