Seattle 23 - San Francisco 3
Week 4, September 30, 2007I have higher hopes for this team than any other team I’ve been on in the (15 years) I’ve been here. -- Mack StrongWhat a GREAT game this was!! What a day full of surprises! I had NO idea that this would be a walk in the park! Who knew?!I was shocked to arrive at Monster Park and see the UGLY stadium that was reminiscent of the old Kingdome, God Rest Its Soul. (Yes, the Kingdome did have a soul in the way of fans!) Come on, San Francisco. The 9ers NEED a new stadium! Desperately! It's outrageously ugly from the outside, and while beautiful inside it does not have basic amenities necessary to accommodate so many fans! There are not nearly enough bathrooms, vendors or exits, and the parking situation is atrocious!! BUT ... what the stadium lacks in style, the 49er's fans make up for. San Francisco has some of the nicest fans I've ever come across in my travels to away stadiums. There was friendly ribbing and some t-shirts that were less than complimentary to the Seahawks, but all in all the fans were extremely welcoming to us. I was proud to see a LOT of Seahawks fans at the game, many wearing jerseys and quite a few in old school attire. I keep saying this, but you didn't used to see that! For many years fans were showing up to games in street clothes. It's SO nice to see fans dressing the part! WAY TO GO, SEATTLE!!! :-) The game itself was thrilling! Nothing like having a comfortable lead to be able to enjoy the game. Even when the 49ers had the ball I never really felt threatened. I didn't realize until after the game that they never even made it into the red zone. How bizarre! The local media was brutal in their review of the 49ers. They said their offense was "undimensional" -- ouch!! This game was HUGE to us! A division victory against the opponent that was supposed to be the one to beat! I'm so proud of our Seahawks!!
