B...I haven't been to a home game since 2004 :(<br /><br />But I've been going to Phoenix every year for the last 4 years to watch my Seahawks play the Cards. Since it is a Divisional game, it is always a great game. A couple of years I have been lucky enough to score a parking pass and go tailgate in the middle of hostile territory. Usually run into some Seahawks fans and have a great time with new people. The Cards stadium is nice. I haven't had a bad seat yet, and the tickets are reasonably priced.<br /><br />I've also been to Dallas twice to watch the 'hawks. Great tailgating atmosphere. Huge stadium. F'in huge. Both times we lost, so that sucked. Tickets are pricier though. <br /><br />On the bucket list are trips to San Fran and St. Louis. Division games always pack more punch and make for a more hostile environment for this Seahawk fan to infiltrate.<br /><br />Have fun in the Motor City. You'll probably hear me cheering from ABQ. 12th man!it's all in D Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06684770516702178167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-30530413645538658682012-10-25T11:18:49.052-05:002012-10-25T11:18:49.052-05:00Andrew, I went to the same game.

Plus, I had to use binoculars from the upper seating in the stadium.<br /><br />Bank Of America Stadium, in Charlotte, is worse. I saw the Hawks lose to the Panthers in 2007, and the stadium was EMPTY. I was in the upper seating, and could hardly see anything on the field. The "Jumbotrons" were tiny, like watching a 13" tv from across a large living room. Not to mention that with BofA sponsoring the stadium, you would expect the vendors to take credit or debit...NOT. There were only two ATMs on the entire 300 level, to go along with that.<br /><br />I would rather go to a game at Husky Stadium (before this remodel) than either of those stadiums again.<br /><br />CenturyLink field RULES!Seahawkdodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055516618278972634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-56287384782843186532012-10-25T10:03:41.521-05:002012-10-25T10:03:41.521-05:00I went to a Seahawks game at FedEx Field against t...I went to a Seahawks game at FedEx Field against the Redskins in 2005. It was the last game they lost before their magnificient run that season. If you want to feel good about the home field advantage, wonderful stadium atmosphere, and convenient location of Century Link, attend a game at FedEx Field in DC. It is a dreadfully boring stadium with no atmosphere, that is miles from public transportation in one of the few cities in the U.S. properly served by public transportation. <br /><br />I recall the fans being astounded that the Seahawks had fans willing to wear the team's jersey. As if the Seahawks were not a "real" team.<br /><br />I also went to a game in SF which was not as bad. That stadium is an absolute dump. That was the game Hasselbeck got knocked out and Frank Gore ran all over the place. It was the merciful beginning of the end for Jim Mora.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08498092656203868774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-82190107992779051662012-10-25T08:48:40.436-05:002012-10-25T08:48:40.436-05:00Cleveland wasn't that bad.

We tailgated with a friendly group of fans who shared food and beer with us. Sure we got booed a lot (and I think someone hissed at me) but I was not physically confronted like I consistently am in a place like Philly. Most of them just yelled stupid things like "Ravens suck" (funny, all those newspapers must be wrong when they list them in first place!). I would definitely go back (especially for the $60 hotel and $100 for 2 seats in the 11th row red zone).Steve Costanzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714459558900795503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-12332578606310212492012-10-25T06:11:51.673-05:002012-10-25T06:11:51.673-05:00I'll be there.

I had things thrown at me the first time I went to Los Angeles for a Sounders-Galaxy game (thankfully none of the fans had good aim) and Being in Vancouver a few times the last two years for more Sounders matches was just as terrific (even more so since they are actual rivals).Eric Flatnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01622344413494691086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-91057631493952472562012-10-24T16:35:33.067-05:002012-10-24T16:35:33.067-05:00I have only been to one away game and that was in ...I have only been to one away game and that was in Arizona a few years back. I can't remember what year it was (maybe 2006?). Seattle lost the game but what I remember most is how lame the stadium there is compared to Seahawks Stadium. It was like I was in a non-descript living room watching the game. The stadium had no atmosphere whatsoever. Even if I wanted to get drunk and get in a fight I don't know if anyone down there cared enough about the team to oblige.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04178707229986114996noreply@blogger.com
