Seattle Seahawks history
The osprey, also called the sea hawk, gave Seattle's team its name. The Seahawks started as an expansion club in 1976, spent 1977 to 2001 in the AFC West, and went back to the NFC in 2002. They shared the Kingdome with the Mariners, SuperSonics and Sounders through 1999, played at Husky Stadium for two years, and then opened Lumen Field on the Kingdome's old site.
Fans, once called the 12th man and officially the 12s since 2016, twice set the Guinness record for loudest crowd at a sporting event during 2013. As the only NFL club in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle draws support from Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah and British Columbia.
