Thousands of Seahawks fans in SF to support the team
SAN FRANCISCO - Today's game against the 49ers marks Russell Wilson's first true championship game as an NFL quarterback. The Seahawks have a chance to clinch the NFC West title on the Niners' home field.
Literally thousands of Seahawk fans made the trek, and the intensity of this rivalry is evident everywhere: in the parking lot, where a sea of 12s cheered a plane flying overhead just before the the game, pulling a huge banner that read "Go Hawks!". The banner succeeded in amping up the 12th Man, and riling up the Niner fans.
Hawk fans are outnumbered five to one here, but the amount of fans that made the trip is really amazing. Go Hawks!
