Paul and I were extremely lucky to be able to see the Seahawks win the NFC Championship at Qwest Field live and in person (thanks to his parents who scored some free tickets.) It was a sold out crowd and the fans were amazingly loud. We were in section 335, right at the 50 yard line. After all these years, it was great to finally witness a huge Seahawk win. It was quite a sight walking from Safeco Field (where we parked) to Qwest Field-- every parking lot and alley way was filled with people dressed in their Seahawk blue. As we were corralled through the entrance to be searched, strangers would whoop, hollar and high-5 each other yelling, "Seahawks, baby!" I still can't get over how the sold out crowd would chant "Super Bowl" when it looked like the Seahawks were sealing their victory or the sight of how the blue and green confetti rose all the way up to the "cheap seats." We stayed past the end of the game to watch the team receive their trophy and to see Shaun Alexander run around with the trophy over his head.
What a game! Although Baby McJ couldn't see his first NFC Championship game, I'm pretty sure he heard and felt it!
