Dirtbag Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 not sure if anyone picked up on this before, but apparently seattle's fans are referred to as the "12th man." this is because they can be very loud and disruptive when the opposing offense is on the field. since teams are only allowed to have 11 players on the field at the same time, this points to how important the fans are to the team (they are essentially a "12th man"). hopefully, the announcers pick up on this fact during the game and update us as to the loudness of the crowd!

MAJBobby Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) So like every NFL fan base. Imagine Bills fans in the 90s how loud it would have been at Rich Stadium if it was designed to amplify sound like the Link is. So would they be that loud if the Stadium wasn't designed to amplify sound? Edited November 8, 2016 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 So does that mean other teams fans are only the 11.5 Man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 yeah, exactly -- it's like having a 12th man on the field (even though you're only allowed to have 11)!so should they not be awarded a penAlty for having too many on the field? Is the NFL not aware of what is going on here? Are we looking at "12th man gate"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djp14150 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Seattle fans have been know as the 12 man for quite a while. Actually Texas A&M trademarked the name so Seattle has to pay n annuala fee to be able to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
