Going to see the Seahawks vs the Eagles in Dec. Where to sit??

[scherp69]

So as the title says, I'm going to see the Seahawks play the Eagles on December 1. It's a Thursday night game so should be fun. I've never been to an NFL game (lots of CFL games) and never been to the Qwest Field. Tickets go on sale for non season ticket holders the end of the month. Just wondering, where's a good place to sit? Is it worth paying $250 a ticket or more to get lower bowel near the 40-50 yard line or is it just as good to sit in the upper bowl. I don't mind paying for good seats, but if I can save some money (we're flying out to Vegas the following morning) it would help. Thanks in advance.

NFL is hands down more entertaining then the CFL. I've been to a few Seahawk games (not a fan BTW) and definately recommend the lower bowl seats. Get ready to stand the entire game and for some serious noise. Good luck getting tix they are hard to come by. It's a real cool event especially if you have never been.

I grew up playing NFL rules so have always been a huge fan of the NFL. I debated about going to see the Raiders in the preseason as they are my team, but thought the Eagles in December should be fighting for top spot so should be a good game. There are lots of tickets available right now at all the different ticket brokers. Anywhere up to $400 a ticket. If I don't get anything when the public sale goes on, I'll get some from one of the brokers. I figure I should get them sooner than later. I can't wait to go. Taking the wife as we've never been to Vegas by our selves either. We've always taken her mom or met my parents there so should be a great trip.

It will be a good game, but the Hawks have been a little weak and Eagles look strong on paper this year. The fans will be crazy loud when Vick is on offence. I'm actually a Rams fan, so there'e been a Seattle - St Louis rivalry for a few years. Rams used to own them, then it reversed and now they both suck. So both teams are trying to improve. It's a horrible division though... :lol:

Cheers for being a Rams fan and not living in St. Louis :cheers:

Yes sir back when they were in LA with Dickerson and Everett, and I don't even live in the USA either. :lol:

I thought it may have been more recent...the Greatest Show on Turf with Warner, Faulk, Holt, Bruce, etc. Those were some fun games.

To the OP, my experience has been that if you get low seats in the upper section you will save a little $$ and be able to see plays develop better. I have not had the pleasure of seeing a game in that stadium though so it may be different. You guys have a great crowd...I know the Rams pipe crowd noise into the practice facility the week they play the Seahawks to prepare!

century link field, formally QUEST is the LOUDEST stadium in the NFL! and the hawks are making some good moves to get back into contention! ENJOY the game ill be there watching mike vick light it up

Thanks for the info. I prefer the idea of watching the play develop too. I was on a site today that allowed you to put in your section and row and it showed you the view from your seats. Doesn't look like too many bad seats there.

I keep reading and hearing how it's the loudest in the league. It's going to be a blast. I think I've decided that I want to try and get seats around the 40 or 50 yard line if possible so I can watch the entire game. I think with Vick and company if I get end zone tickets, I might only get to see half the game live and the other half on the jumbo tron. :D

One thing to keep in mind is seattle weather that time of year. One section back from next to the field starts to have some overhead coverage. I know for the sounders games I go to some sections are all inclusive food & drink also but I don't know if the hawks do that.

Thanks for the tip. I had thought of that. I know what it's like where I live in BC and we're about 4 hours from Seattle so I'm sure the weather is similar. I was looking the covered seats as my wife would be so mad at me if we went and had to sit in the snow or rain for 3 hours so I can get my NFL fix. The pricing of the tickets was strange though. The second section up was more expensive than the seats closer to the field. I guess it could be that you have a better overall view of the field.

Mike the more expensive seat might be club seats. Not sure what more you get but maybe nicer seats or service. And yeah it's Seattle so it could rain, luckily I've been to a few games and it has never rained.

Before you buy tickets -- let me see about hooking you up. Two of you?

You're more than welcome to stay at my place for the night. We're in downtown Bellevue (blah view) about a 35 minute trip to the airport.

Yeah they are club seats. I was looking this morning and they are. The seats are wider and are fully padded.

can I come stay the night?- We were just up there last Sunday eating at Magianos before the ABBA tribute concert....well I guess I'm kicked off the forum now....but it was an entertaining concert:lol:

Qwest field is amazing! You should check out a baseball game at Safco, equally impressive- the stadium that is

Okay -- You're all set! Two tickets -- 50 yard line -- 2 rows off the field.

Sorry - if it's raining - you WILL get wet.

But the price is right --- FREE. I'll have the tickets in my hand next weekend and if you PM me an address I'll mail 'em to ya.

Greg...that's awesome. Thank you so much. I'm not a religious man, but I'm a firm believer in what goes around, comes around. After reading what you did for Eric and others, and now what you've done for me (in all reality, a complete stranger), you sir have a whole lot of good coming your way. If there is any way I can ever repay you, please let me know. I was just telling my wife that it's amazing how a car forum, of all things, can bring out the absolute best in people. :cheers: :cheers: :lateral:

[GregWeld]

Mike -- It's never about the cars and ALWAYS about the people! The cars just get us all together.

You're welcome buddy -- hope you enjoy the game and that it's an "indian summer" day for ya.

HA HA HA! HEE HEE!....you're funny!
