While they might be crazy, I'd say Raiders and Saints fans take the crazy fan cake

That link says the only other instance of a seismic activity was in a soccer game in Africa... These guys must not know football to not mention the earthquake game at LSU... Seattle hates lsu..

I lived there for 7 years and went to quite a few games especially when the Rams were in town. Its no secret around those parts that they pipe crowd noise through the speakers.

Its like fight club up there. Never spoken about. There have been multiple complaints against the Seahawks regarding the issue.

They can only market it in about a 6(?) state area and have to pay us licensing fees every time they use it.

"They are the LSU fans of the nfl" means nothing. That's not really something spectacular. Good fans, but not not really far from the ordinary...


Im sure the butt hurt will soon follow...

Pretty bush league to sell your traditions out for a few bucks. I'm guessing there's been no takers on the ice cream man brigade yet tho.

Chippendales might have an interest in their routines.

Uh, we were in a legal battle against Paul Allen (Microsoft), the KING of copyright infringement. The fact that we got what we did was amazing.

I still can't believe that have that trademarked or copywrited, whichever it is.

If we didn't copyright it, some team would get the bright idea to sue US for using our own brand and tradition.

It is a little weak that its "copyrighted" by aTm.

The idea of the "12th man" goes back farther than aTm copyrighting it in 1990. Its common theme across all the major team sports.

Seattle is best home field advantage in the NFL and has been since they built that stadium. It's not close

Johnny Football is also under copy rite.

We're thinking about copywiting Alabama since we owned them this year too.
