The going story ...Yes, Football is something else.<br /><br />The going story for Seattle is that our fans are so loud in our stadium they call it the 12th Man. Our fans re quiet when the Seahawks are in a huddle and on offense. When we are on defense though, they crank up the noise.<br /><br />This is such an issue for other teams that one team attempted to simulate the 106 decibel readings from Seattle with speakers during their practices leading up to playing the Seahawks. The result, they blew the speakers and could not match the level of noise.<br /><br />That is something.<br /><br />As for teams, I agree with Dave. I have always been big into the Olympics since I like the thought of rooting for your country.<br /><br />As for getting into a particular team. I saw a good tweet today that said, once you think of sports fans as Sci-Fi fans, and wearing a team jersey as cosplay, it all starts to make more sense. Never group is weird, they are just showing their love for their "thing".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626457572719333386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255028626698774175.post-49101802152367559832014-01-20T07:30:13.403-08:002014-01-20T07:30:13.403-08:00I've never understood how people become so inv...I've never understood how people become so invested in professional sports. I enjoy going to the odd game but I much prefer the Juniors or Olympics when it comes to hockey. <br /><br />I find it much easier to get behind the "country" than the local team. The local team might have one player from the area and players bounce around multiple teams.. So exactly what are you cheering for? The GM who builds the best team? I dunno.<br /><br />Went to one NFL game in San Fran and it was quite the experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616151713428722612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255028626698774175.post-52106431333509755582014-01-20T06:57:51.648-08:002014-01-20T06:57:51.648-08:00Working at theScore really opened my eyes to how b...Working at theScore really opened my eyes to how big the NFL is down there (it's the biggest segment of users of our app).
