Obtaining great Seahawks Tickets has always proven to be a very difficult process, with many people settling for sub-par seating far away from the action - hardly worth even going to the game! We know you want to get down close and support the Seahawks, and the tickets are out there, you just have to know where to look...
2007-08 Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawk defense was scary in the preseason, and Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander definitely look good enough to be intimidating opponents at the minute. Critics have not been giving Seattle enough credit, but with a newly beefed up defense with Patrick Kerney and Deon Grant, fans can expect Seattle to at least make some headlines in '07. The Seahawks are definitely an improved team, with lots of possibilities. A sleeper team? Not quite yet, but who knows? Seattle Seahawks tickets could stretch as far as Glendale this season. Keep an eye on them!
Previous Seasons
The 2005-2006 Seattle Seahawks will officially put the team from the Northwest on the radar for the rest of the National Football League. Because of a lack of television coverage and a history of mediocrity, the Seahawks have gone largely unnoticed over the past two decades. However, the team’s NFC West title and running back Shaun Alexander’s single season record of 28 touchdowns appears to be just what the Seahawks needed to erase the lack of respect. Many believe that this season’s achievements could give the team its first Super Bowl appearance.
The franchise’s relatively short history began in 1976 when the Seahawks were first introduced to AFC competition. Under head coach Jack Patera, the team never made an appearance in the playoffs and did not have a chance to succeed until Chuck Knox took over the sideline in 1983. During Knox’s eight-year reign, the Seahawks reached the playoffs four times and posted only two losing seasons. Knox was also named Coach of the Year during his first season of duty in Seattle.
Much of the team’s past success can be attributed to wide receiver Steve Largent, whose 14 years with the Seahawks earned him the number one spot in many receiving categories. While Jerry Rice later shattered these records, Largent’s career in Seattle earned him seven trips to the coveted Pro Bowl and made him the first player to have his number retired from the team. Originally noted by most NFL scouts for a lack of speed and an inability to produce at the professional level, Largent remains the most notable player in Seahawk history. He is the only player in the Hall of Fame who spent the majority of his career with the Seahawks
While Largent is the only player to have his number retired, the Seahawks have also retired the number 12 jersey to show their appreciation for the dedicated fans at the new Qwest Field who have made their home turf one of the most difficult atmospheres for opposing teams. These fans recognize that Seahawks football tickets offer a chance to see a team that is quickly improving. After restructuring in the NFL, the Seahawks moved to play in the NFC and earned playoff berths in 2003 and 2004. Despite these recent years of success, the Seahawks are still working for their first postseason win in over 20 years. Their last victory in the playoffs came under Knox in 1983 against the Miami Dolphins.
Current head coach Mike Holmgren hopes to end the team’s playoff winning drought this year with home field advantage throughout the postseason. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck leads one of the most potent offensive teams while Alexander’s league rushing title makes the team’s passing and rushing games equally difficult to contain. If the Seahawks can capitalize on this season’s success, 2005-2006 may be the beginning of a tradition of great football in Seattle.
