Too Much Orange

[AROS]

I am re-watching the game tonight and getting pissed about how many Broncos fans were in the stands. Wide panned shots coming out of commercial almost looked like a damn Broncos home game. Grrrrr.

I get this isn’t the 2012-2015 years where 99.9% of the fans in the stands were 12s but I would have expected a better draw with the excitement of the new era.

Maybe I am wrong but it looked like 60-40 Seahawks fans. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Good news is every single one of those orange wearing fans got to walk out of the stadium unhappy. Suck it.

Yep pissed me off one second in. These are season ticket holders selling them for profit. Like you're not even interested in attending the home opener?? Not real fans...not at all...it was a disgusting sight to see.

 

[AROS]

Look at this. Is this an optical illusion from the sunlight or is this a disgusting amount of donkey fans?!?

 

[projectorfreak]

From other angles I saw very few donky fans , look at where there are shadows and it's not so orange but everywhere its lit is so om guessin it's mostly camera effect cuz I noticed the crowd a few times and it didn't seem nearly lopsided to donks at all

Side-effects from the last years of Pete's slide from greatness. I think once MacDonald renews the expectations of playoff wins and Superbowl dreams, those stands will be Blue and Green once again. Reality of recent history, not a great excuse for what you would expect of true Seahawks 12th man fans.

We had a row in front of us. Our entire section stood almost the whole game. Tall guy in front of me has a ringing ear this morning. I made sure of it.

Well remember the mediots said we would suck, those that have seats and go for social impressions and be on the popularity train sell them. They don't want to be associated with losers. Sad but what it is these days.

 

[AROS]

The crowd sounded pretty damn loud so I suspect it’s more camera/lighting than anything.

 

[nanomoz]

Most of the people that I know that have owned season tickets can't afford them unless they sell a good chunk of them.

I don't know how you fix the increase in visiting fans in recent years. It sucks.

At least the folks that were there on Sunday were loud. Louder than they've been in a while, if TV is any indication.

 

[49ersNFCWsBest]

I'm now just going to blame the camera lighting and angle whenever a Seahawk Fan claims Levi's Stadium was full of the opposing fans.

Week 6 will be interesting.

Wins. And lots and lots of them.

Wins. And lots and lots of them.

yes… and no. The plus side to
Losing is people don’t attend or there’s a drop in attendance so tickets then become affordable..and market.

A think it’s a mix of the prior years of Seattle sucking and the Tickets being not really affordable.


And think a lot of Die hard Pete fans are very much in the “prove it/show me” phase of Macdonald so they’re hesitant to fully buy in because the last guy towards the end kind of “sales manned” them.

Market wise.. bears have sucked for for a few yrs, my wife and I wanted to get tickets for my brother in law, his wife and us. It was going to be just tickets after the absurd fees in the “I could have a better view watching it on Tv” nosebleeds were still 1450$ total.. that’s absurd. So we gave up.. and funny enough they went to Seattle round trip 2 flight tickets, 2 nights hotel and the 2 seats Sea vs Bears.. for roughly the same price as some packaged deal.


Sorry off topic there at the end and ended up kind of ranting lol

 

[SoulfishHawk]

It wasn't nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. That orange stands out. They brought a lot of fans, they always do. But it wasn't even close to games like GB, Dallas, Santa Clara, Steelers etc.

 

[oldhawkfan]

Anyone notice the large amount of empty seats in last nights Monday night game?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I'm now just going to blame the camera lighting and angle whenever a Seahawk Fan claims Levi's Stadium was full of the opposing fans.

Except for the fact that when the Hawks play out there, there ARE a ton of opposing fans.

 

[Hawkstorian]

I've already sold two weeks of tickets for the season. Myself and family using 7. I don't know who bought the seats or what team they'll root for. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at me.

 

[DarkVictory23]

I think it's worth noting that in addition to Nix having been a high profile QB in the PNW in college, the Broncos fanbase goes west into parts of Nevada and north into Montana.

For a good portion of Denver fans this game was probably closer than a 'home' game.

It's probably not completely indicative of excitement (or lack thereof) for the 'Hawks.

Fine , I get it.

How about making sure you sell your seats to a verified Seahawks fan? If the buyer is from Aurora Colorado, they're probably a broncos fan , maybe sell them to someone from the Pacific NW.

-- If I purchase an asset, and am forced to then sell part or all of that asset, you and no one like you, will tell me who I can and cannot sell them to. I always called my known Hawk fans, and immediate seat neighbors to see if they had interest, but if not, you are damn right I raised the price and posted them for saps from the other team.

-- Verifying they are a Hawks fan? Check their home address? Are you wise enough. Hey, how about you buy some, and that is a few less orange jerseys. The noise level was good despite not much to cheer about early. Half in stadium fans from 2014 to 2020 barely knew if the ball was pumped up or stuffed with grass. Don't miss them at all.
