Seattle Seahawk Football fans are no doubt the loudest in the NFL.   NW fans are so loud that the league instituted a noise rule in 1985.  Despite the rule, the 12th MAN is still extremely ‘loud and proud’ – as a continued tradition.  In 2003, the 12th man was honored once again, this time with an official 12th man flag.  The tradition of the 12th man flag began on October 12, 2003.

12th Man – Sets Sound Barrier Records – January 8, 2011 Seahawks fans literally shook the Earth during the NFL playoff game against the New Orleans Saints. Century Link Field exploded and erupted with excitement during the 4th quarter when Marshawn Lynch made an amazing 67-yard touchdown run, broke half a dozen tackles, and put the Seahawks up 41-30 over the Saints.

A Guinness Book World Record was set by the 12th Man – on December 2, 2013, at CenturyLink Field, against the New Orleans Saints, Seahawks fans registered a decibel reading of 137.6.  Seahawks fans might cheers from the sidelines, but from the field they give the Seahawks a 12 on 11 steadfast advantage every play for every yard.  The impact of their loud and relentless support have become a NW tradition.
