Are we sure this game wasn’t played in Seattle?

Lot of Washington based snowbirds in AZ, my sister among them. She didn't go to the game, but that's the West Coast version of Florida for a retirement/winter home for us PNWers.

Plus, we actually travel pretty well for a 'small market' team.

Some of the away games are better represented by Seahawk fans than the home games.

I’m thinking of doing an away game trip down there with my kiddo in 2025 or even better 2026 when she turns 21. Her birthday is in November. Perfect weather trip that time of year and we basically own the joint sooooo….

Also thought on crowd shots that there were a lot of action green jerseys. You could see a lot of Hawk fans in the first rows at Met Life too on th sideline shot of William's long TD run.

I think it's part of that whole thing league wide of season ticket holders selling a few games to fans who travel well due to the expense of buying seasons

Not enough Cardinals fans to be Lumen.

My Daughter was there wearing her spoon jersey being loud.

It was a lot of fun. We were loud and proud. After the game high fives with everyone.

I love the Curt Warner "SEATTLE SEAHAWKS" shirt being right in the middle in front.

Great stadium down there, only issue is it's in the middle of nowhere.

Two edged sword for me seeing that versus our home crowds of late having so many opposing fans, hope those bandwagoners sold their tickets already for the rest of the season and are going to miss us closing it out on what I hope is a high note.

I really think it's just the amount of Washington residents who have moved to Arizona for a cheaper and warmer place to live and don't mind ponying up for NFL tickets when the Hawks are in town. Meanwhile our team is not quite a world beater, the tickets have gotten more and more expensive, Seattle inflation is at an all-time high and the only people who probably don't feel things are expensive over here are transplants from the Bay Area (because yes Seattle is cheaper than San Fran). Then combine the ability to pay for one ticket vs multiple games a season.

The cost of attending games has skyrocketed meanwhile most of our salaries have not. I saw what wasmy season tickets go from $70/seat to $120+ in less than 10 years, parking also go from $20 to $40 in the same lot and food prices in china town go from $10-11 a plate to $16-$17. So what once was a $120 game day all things considered became $180. That's a 50% increase (at least), meanwhile I saw my salary climb maybe 35% in that same time period and that's only because I worked for a promotion not annual inflation raises.

I looked at tickets as I'm within a 140 radius of Insurance Company Stadium. It went from as low as about $35 to $85 within maybe 10 days. Once we beat San Fransicko, I think demand went way up. Two tickets, plus gas and some food, not to mention parking...you're talking $325, and well over $600 for a family of four, and that's nosebleeds. It's free to watch or listen. I don't know how folks can afford season tickets. Credit cards, I guess. I'm not trying to be debbie downer here - this is just the reality of the situation.

Seattle South. Seems we have put in a good showing there for a long time.
