At first this sounded like cheating, stacking the deck, but I can see your point, however it is sad that fans of an opposing team cannot be able to represent their team if they wish to do so. I say the same thing to the Niner organization and Levi Stadium. If the Seahawks were playing in San Francisco, I would say by all means let the come. How many people can actually travel to a playoff game not in their area anyone...after managing to even GET tickets. When I lived in San Fran, I couldn't even get tickets to a Niner playoff game.
So yes, I think it should be changed from now on that, especially, playoff games include billing addresses of the state of an opposing team to be FAIR.
Football should be enjoyed by everyone.
I think it's more whining by San Fran. Denver is doing EXACTLY the same thing and no one is talking about it.
Perhaps what makes this a more legitimate complaint (and is more focused in the media maybe) is because San Francisco and Seattle are closer in proximity where as Denver and New England are not. The odds of a Bostonian traveling to Denver for the game is less likely than someone from California traveling to Washington. So it makes it look more so like Seattle is trying to "stack the deck" with only Seattle fans so that the stadium is really loud.
Like I said. I feel the same way if it were the other way around. Fans from BOTH teams should be able to watch the game and represent their team. Even if there was no case of Californians not being able to buy tickets to this game, I doubt Seattle would lose much of a "home field advantage". Seattle's doing it. Denver's doing it. It doesn't mean it's ok.
