Hello, my name is Dennis. It's not easy being a Seahawks in New Jersey. People ask me what my favorite football team is and usually laugh in disbelief when they hear the "Seahawks". They want to know why I'm not a Giants or Jets fan. I tell them it's because I have nothing to cheer for! I'll bet no one is laughing at us now! I'm 29 years old and have been a fan for 20 years. From the first time I saw Steve Largent, Dave Krieg, Jacob Green, Curt Warner & many others, I was hooked. I always knew there was something special about this team. To this day, I am and always will be a dedicated Seahawks fan.

Unfortunately, my first game in person was in 2002 at Giants Stadium. The awe of seeing this team, "my team" in person was extraordinary. I was like a little kid unwrapping his most favorite gift of all! I remember telling my brother, "Look, that's Trent Dilfer and Shaun Alexander and, WOW, there's Mike Holmgren!!" That was something else and I will never forget that.

I have quite a few jerseys amongst other collectibles. My favorite jersey is my Steve Largent jersey. I ordered it right after he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

I go to our local sports bar to catch the games each week. Hopefully one day I will get out to Seahawks Stadium to experience the atmosphere that makes this team the most intimidating force in football!!!
