Kudos to Paul Allen...if this is actually true...

As much as I love Paul Allen, he definitely didn't charter any planes for the Seahawk fans. I also don't believe the Broncos sold their tickets to a broker who sold them to Paul Allen. If that was true, it would be front page news and every single sports outlet would be all over that story.

But it IS true that Paul Allen is the best owner in sports and wants the Seahawks to win BAD.

I'm pretty sure that guy just made up that story in the comment sections.

Being sarcastic because there was so many hawk fans opposed to bronco fans.

Yeah, the charter flight gave it all away. I travel with a college football during the season, and a charter flight from Alabama to Florida (1.5hr flight) costs them $50,000, round-trip for 180 people.

My bad guys...It was sent to me and I thought it was too good to be true but it was almost plausible...almost

Plus by the look of it we did not out number broncos fans at the game. We were just used to being louder. It was 50/50.

I think we outnumbered them by quite a bit. Orange just sticks out more so when looking at the crowd it looked like we were actually outnumbered.

Anyone know if this is actually true??? (I'm pretty sure that parts of it are true)

Once upon a time two billionaires each owned football teams, one that went by the sign of the horse and one that went by the sign of the bird. Each team won the right to play for the championship and each billionaire was granted 22,000 tickets to do with as they pleased. The billionaire owner of the team that went by the sign of the horse decided to allocate two thousand tickets to a season ticket holder lottery and sell the other twenty thousand tickets to a California ticket broker at a premium of one thousand dollars each. The billionaire owner of the team that went by the sign of the bird knew he could win if he could his team a home crowd advantage, so he provided all twenty two thousand of his allocated tickets to his season ticket holders. In addition, he purchased another twenty thousand tickets for his season ticket holders from a California ticket broker.... remember billionaires have unlimited resources when it comes to money. Not only that, the billionaire owner of the team that went by the sign of the bird chartered planes for his team's fans to ensure he could give his team the "home field" advantage. When the game started, the deafening roar of the crowd filled the team that went by the sign of the bird with enough adrenaline that they rolled easily over the team that went by the sign of the horse. The billionaire owner of the team that went by the sign of the horse went home with an extra twenty million dollars in his pocket and the the billionaire owner of the team that went by the sign of the bird went home with a championship trophy.... and everyone lived happily ever after.

Very interesting.....
So what was that team that went by the sign of the bird?
And why didn't they just summon Gwaihir and the great eagles of Valinor to swoop up their fans and transport them to the epic battle?

I guess it don't matter. Their Hobbit qb won the battle and the precious ring.
