Seahawks vs Panthers | Game Day | Lamar King | Autographs | Meet Pat! | The Game | The Stadium | Halftime |

We didn't have choice seats in the stadium, but it's my belief that if you're in the stadium, you've got a good seat! I love being at games. We were surprised when we found that the two people next to us were Seahawks fans! That's always fun! We also had a Seahawks fan sitting in the row behind us. I guess I was a little surprised that the stadium wasn't filled to capacity. There were a lot of empty seats, as shown in the photograph I took during the game. This isn't a half-time shot when people were out of their seats for concessions, this is a shot taken in the second quarter.

The fans were among the friendliest I've ever encountered at an away stadium. As we walked through the parking lot of tailgaters, we were met with the usual ribbing, to which we smiled and loved every moment of it! It was all good natured and fun!

I've always enjoyed comparing the fans from other teams, as each stadium has its own personality. I liked Ericcson Stadium and the fans who attended the game. Despite the fact that it wasn't a full house, the stadium was LOUD! I'd hate to hear it when it's packed! The fans knew when to cheer and when to be quiet, and although I never noticed any rituals such as the shout of IN-COM-PLETE that Denver fans shout after an incompletion, or the songs that Kansas City fans sing after every touchdown, the fans were still very much part of the game. They often send a panther growl over the PA system and while I thought it was pretty cool at first, I soon grew tired of the sound of yet another Seahawk disaster.

Oh yes, there's more!
