oh, how we laughed at him.
No....no...are you serious? I would have fallen on the ground in laughter.
Its true, a lot of the Seahawk fans are actually Seattle Sounder fans first. A lot of them are there for the atmosphere and just being loud and into the game, even if they aren't really into the team. To their credit they immediately embraced English style football stadium habits and supported the sounders from the get go. They usually sell about 40,000 tickets to a match which is equal to some of the top english clubs, sometimes they sell seats in the upper deck for those games.
When the clink got really noisy was when the seahawks fans started acting like the sounders fans.
