There's a big sign about Tanzania in the stadium. Paul Allen apparently loves it there. The Seahawks have never lost in the stadium since the sign was installed and have had a lot of good luck in that endzone down near the sign. Its basically become a rallying cry and big inside joke for Seahawk fans.  _________________

Tanzania (pron.: /ˌtænzəˈniːə/), officially the United Republic of Tanzania (Swahili: Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania),[5] is the country that was formed by the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964. It is located in East Africa, bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north; Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west; and Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique to the south. The country's eastern border lies on the Indian Ocean. The country is divided into 30 regions: five on the semi-autonomous islands of Zanzibar and 25 on the mainland in the former Tanganyika.[6] The head of state is President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, elected in 2005. Since 1996, the official capital of Tanzania has been Dodoma, where the country's parliament and some government offices are located.[7] Between independence and 1996, the main coastal city of Dar es Salaam served as the country's political capital. Today, it remains Tanzania's principal commercial city and de facto seat of most government institutions.[6][8] It is the major seaport for the country and its landlocked neighbours. The name Tanzania derives from the first syllables of the names of the two states, Tanganyika and Zanzibar, that united to form the country.[9]

Haha nice. When was it put there? I was at the Seahawks-Ravens game last year and didn't notice it. I'll look for it next week.

I'd also like to point out that every time a big play happens the sign is always in the pre-snap shot of the players lining up. Tanzania is amazing  _________________  Official Tharold Simon Fan Club Member

Gotta admit, it is about the coolest in-stadium advertisement ever.

Dont worry Roland thinks its his duty to be a ass in any thread that can be remotely spiritual in any way.( jokingly or otherwise)
If he can't see it, touch it, hear it, or taste it, it doesn't exist.
It was probably one of his ancestors that told Ben Franklin that electricity would never work.
