Seattle Seahawks
1974 AD - 2015 AD

Professional American football team based in Seattle. The Seahawks compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league's NFC West, which they joined in 2002.

They have played their home games at Lumen Field in Seattle's SoDo neighborhood since 2002, having previously played home games in the Kingdome (1976–1999) and Husky Stadium (1994 and 2000–2001).

Seahawks fans have been referred to collectively as the "12th Man," "12th Fan," or "12s." The fans twice set the Guinness World Record for the loudest crowd noise at a sporting event within the span of a few months:

• first registering 136.6 decibels during a game against the San Francisco 49ers in September 2013
• and later registering 137.6 dB during a Monday Night Football game against the New Orleans Saints that December.

As the only NFL team based in the Pacific Northwest region of North America, the Seahawks attract support from the wider geographical area that includes some parts of the U.S. states of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Utah, as well as the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan.
