Last year Taima and his handler were wandering around inside the convention center at Century Link before the game allowing people to pet AND have pictures taken with him. That might be your best bet to get up close and personal with "The Hawk"! He is absolutely beautiful!!
I had the opportunity to actually be on the field when they raised the 12th man flag and I can attest to how loud it is on the field. It seems to completely engulf you and there is no where to turn to get away from it! It was so cool and so loud!! Go Hawks!!
I too, worry about having to play the Broncos due to the raw deal we got in SB XL so Jerome Bettis could get his ring. i am pretty sure the NFL wants the "Mannings" to have two rings apiece , wouldn't that be a "nice" story at our expense again.
It was the only game I inter-mingled one white seahawk sock with one lime green seahawk sock.... That will never happen again! Last week I had both white socks on and we almost lost to Tampa Bay.... Took them off, we win! Those socks have been banned from game day!
