Seattle football fans are pathetic.

This game would have sold out in less than 20 minutes if it was being played in Stlouis.

<TR><TD class=content vAlign=top>The Seattle Seahawks announced today that their Wild Card Playoff Game vs. the St. Louis Rams will be shown locally on ABC-TV (channel 4 in Seattle).

Yesterday the Seahawks received a 24-hour extension to sell tickets due to the short turnaround from Sunday’s win over Atlanta to this Saturday’s playoff contest. Fans responded by purchasing 66,000 tickets over a 72-hour span and now increases Qwest Field’s consecutive sellout streak to 16, the longest since the 1992 season. The Seahawks are 12-3 at home during this stretch.

Under 1,000 tickets remain, most at $68. They may be purchased at any Northwest Ticketmaster outlet, by calling Ticketmaster at 206/622-HAWK, online at www.seahawks.com and at the Qwest Field box office.

Qwest Field boasts new banners and signage for this Saturday’s game, while Ring of Honor members Dave Brown, Kenny Easley, Jacob Green, Dave Krieg, Curt Warner and Mrs. Bev Gross Mauser will be on hand to raise the 12th Man Flag just before kickoff and Jerry Rice’s daughter, Jaqui, performs the National Anthem with her pop group, Sorella.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early due to 100% bag check at stadium gates and possible cold weather conditions Saturday morning. Early arriving fans may enjoy Touchdown City in the Qwest Events Center starting at 10 a.m., featuring inflatable games, face painting, Seahawks alumni signing autographs and performances from the Sea Gals and Blitz. Admission to Touchdown City is free with game ticket.

Seattle people in general are pathetic

fukkin real farmers

i agree:smoker2:

if you witnessed the crap job they put on the field this year, you would be too.

No wonder they place like crap at home -- nobody likes them.

Anthony- When you consider what a garbage outfit the Seahawks are, I have to give the fans a lot of credit for paying inflated playoff ticket prices and putting up with cold weather to go to this game. The Seahawks are poorly coached, undisciplined and soft. They blow way too many leads. They have a crybaby running back, a poor tackling defense and receivers that can't catch a ball thrown right to them.

That being said, this is certainly a game they can win. Mike Holmgren will be across the field from someone he can actually outcoach and the Ram's defense is every bit as pathetic as Seattle's.

Farmers JJ? Have you even been NEAR Seattle dude? There are only about 3 million living around Seattle, ain't too many farms out there. Amazing you guys judge a city's people by how many football tickets they buy. With this test people in Miami, Oakland, and Phoenix must be absolutely the biggest losers in the world since they regularly don't sell out games.

$68? I hear you can get a FREE ticket in New England (just by donating $1000)

Billy the people in Seattle have no clue what is going on in the world, lots of tech geeks, clumsy liberals and very boring people

slow moving cows, no drive, no personalities

so many bald guys that do not want to improve themselves with a rug, no pride in appearance

Good Luck Billy

JJ, I lived in Seattle for 4 years and can tell you nothing is farther from the truth. Like any city you can find what you look for, but your description is just bad. Go spend some time somewhere before you mis-characterize it and then bad mouth it for no reason.

Billy way sharper people in Northeast than Seattle area

lets face it, their not in our league, way more guys wear minks in Newark than Seattle

Look at women their, all farmer types

Billy stay in East

Sorry JJ, you couldn't find me the right tax guy or get me hooked up with the 85k accounting job so I can't move to Jersey and have to stay out West...
