The Seattle Seahawks were founded in 1976 as an expansion team alongside the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The club beat the Denver Broncos 43-8 in Super Bowl XLVIII following the 2013 season to win its first championship, 37 years after its founding.
The Seattle Seahawks are an NFC West franchise based in Seattle, Washington, famous for their Super Bowl win in the 2013 season and the dominant defense known as the “Legion of Boom.”
The “12th Man” tradition began in 1984 when the team retired the number 12 jersey as a tribute to the fans. It lives on today in the pregame ceremony of raising a giant flag before every kickoff, and in 2013, Seahawks fans set a Guinness World Record for loudest outdoor sports stadium at 137.6 decibels.

💡 Insider Tips
🚌 Getting There
The two main transit routes are Link light rail (Stadium Station/ID·Chinatown Station) and the Sounder game-day special train (King Street Station, 1 block walk) — about 10,000 fans use these two options on game day, making this one of the most transit-dependent stadiums in the league.
🏨 Where to Stay
A downtown Seattle hotel near King Street Station is most convenient. Embassy Suites Seattle Downtown-Pioneer Square, on King Street, is an official Seahawks partner hotel just a 5-minute walk (0.2 miles) from the stadium, and Populus Seattle, right across from the main entrance, is also about a 5-minute walk.
🎟️ Tickets
Official tickets are available at seahawks.com/tickets. Thanks to the loyal “12th Man” fanbase, face-value sellouts are common, so it pays to book marquee games early.
🗺️ Nearby Sightseeing
Pike Place Market is within walking distance (Mon-Sat 8am-6pm, Sun 8am-5pm; the famous fish-throwing show typically happens in the morning through early afternoon). The Space Needle (from $29.95 for adults) and Chihuly Garden and Glass pair well with a visit too.
🎁 Club Perks
No specific Korean connection has been confirmed.
💡 Insider Tips
Bring a rain jacket for Seattle’s notoriously overcast weather. On-site parking is mostly season-ticket based and essentially sold out.
