Seattle Seahawks Team History
The Seattle Seahawks are based in Seattle, Washington. And the Seahawks compete in the West division of the National Football Conference (NFC) of the National Football League (NFL).
Joining the NFL in 1976 as an expansion team, the Seahawks are the only NFL franchise based in the Pacific Northwest.
The Hawks’ fan base extends from Washington State to parts of Oregon as well as Montana, Idaho, and Alaska. The Seahawks also have fans in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia.
In addition, the Seahawks are also the only American football team to have played in both the NFL and the American Football Conference (AFC), having played in the championship game of both football conferences.
Because of the noise they make at CenturyLink Field, which is located in downtown Seattle, Seahawks fans have been referred to collectively as the “12th Man”
The so-called Legion of Boom has twice set the Guinness World Record for the loudest crowd noise at a sporting event, first on 16 September 2013 during a game against the San Francisco 49ers.
In addition, a second record was set on 2 December 2013, during a Monday Night Football game against the New Orleans Saints.
The Seattle Seahawks have won 10 division titles and three conference championships. And the Seattle -based team has made it to the Super Bowl three times.
The Hawks lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl 2005 by a score of 21 to 10. However, the team beat the Denver Broncos by a convincing score of 43 to 8 in 2013. Unfoortunately, they lost to the New England Patriots the following year by a close score of 28 to 24.

I’d have to say the Backstage is top 3. So much Seahawk spirit there, your blood literally turns blue. It’s packed with 100+ Seahawkers a week. We chant, we roar, we do Seahawks shots at halftime a gratis. It’s the best place to be outside of the Clink.
FYI…Torino’s is no longer in business. It’s been shuttered a couple years now. Scooter’s Pub is the OFFICIAL bar for Las Vegas.
And as we like to say here,Scooter’s is the next best thing to being in Seattle. The 12’s that visit us every week agree!
GO HAWKS!!!
Thanks for the head’s up, Renee! We appreciate your input!
Backstage Rocks It! I am so happy there, it feels like I’m home in Seattle every game!!
Great fans, great venue…It’s “Clink South”!!!! GO HAWKS!!
(& GO BACKSTAGE!)
This is the least scientific thing ever and I am hugely biased, but let me just say that Carlow East in NYC is a fantastic place to be a 12th Man! Every game we pack the place and scream ourselves hoarse. Drinking, merriment, chanting, and a post-victory dance party…what could be better? Only the C-Link!
Great competition…and ultimately all 12s are a family. In addition to having a blast each week at Backstage: http://bit.ly/1eBSZuA, one of the great things about the place is that we also do charitable events. For example, this season we’ll be responsible for sending over $5,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project.
Totally agree, @Tracy! It’s all about FAMILY … what we share are football fans!
For the Las Vegas bar, it is SCOOTER’S, not Scotter’s. Thanks.
Thanks for the head’s up, Mike! We’ve corrected the mistake.
Billings Montana: Red Door Lounge – 3875 Grand Ave, Billings, MT 59102
Missoula Montana: Native Grill and Wings – 4875 North Reserve Street

I’d like to add Bill McNally’s Irish Pub in Oakland, CA to this list. You feel like you are in Seattle at this place! They even have Rainier Beer there (how many places outside of WA can say this?).
WOW! A Seahawks watch bar in Oaktown, home of the Oakland Raiders! Who would have thought?
Thanks for the head’s up on where to root for the Seahawks in the Treasure State!
I can’t help but wonder why Carlow East doesn’t have a webpage or a dedicated page on Facebook!
You are welcome!
King street Bar and oven should be on Seattle’s top ten…
We have Rainer down in Denver at Rhein Haus!
Thank you for mentioning Rhein Haus! Home of the Kam Dog and the only known Seahawkers Mug Club!
Blake Street Tavern in Denvwr was rated the #1 sports bar in Colorado and thats where the Rocky Mountain Sea Hawkers meet every week! The bar has three levels as well as outside tv’s and fire pits. We take over the downstairs area with 22 tv’s so wherever you sit you have a full view of the Hawks. We have discounted beer prices when you use your hawk mug and Jell-O shots at every touchdown. Come on by and join your Hawk brotherian in a cheer and beer!!
Sounds awesome! Do you have any pix I can post?
Any p[ix of Sea Hawkers with mugs I can post?
Thanks for the head’s up, Josh! Let me check it out!
A bar went out of business so The Red Door has been added to the list. Any pix?
Caylyn here: We are in Downtown Denver near Coors field. I just had knee surgery and was so excited to see your posts I wanted to add to it. I probably should wait until the meds wear off so I don’t make typos!!
Central Florida Sea Hawkers have made Milker’s Ale House in Winter Park on Lee Road their home to cheer on the Hawks. They are very generous to our fans and have made us a priority over the Jets fans!
That should read Miller’s
I am working on an email to you right now!
Sounds good, Jean! Any pix you can share?
Typos is my middle name, Cayyn! No matter how hard I try and how many times I proof something, they is always AT LEAST one that gets past me. But so nice of you to share this information! Would be cool to post some pix of the bar when you’re up to it.
I’ll keep an eye out for it!
Best place to watch the Seahawks Game in the Tampa Bay Florida is at Maloneys Irish Bar Down town. You will find a group of Loud Proud Seahawks Fans. Great Food, family friendly, and drink special. Home of the Tampa Bay Area Sea Hawkers for 4 years running!
Great article – the Boston Seahawk Fans go to LIR on Boylston which is in the popular back bay area of Boston. We take over the whole second floor on game day and have a Seahawk menu serving food specials. Its a ton of fun – come join us if in the Boston area!

Would love to, Breena, but I’m based in Hong Kong. I’m planning to visit Boston next year, however, on my BIG TRIP HOME so I’ll hopefully have a chance to check it out.
Sounds good! Thanks for sharing this information! Seems there are Seahawks friendly sports bars all across the country!
Thanks!! There are a few pictures of the group at the Red Door here and LOTS of pictures of the group at the Native Grill and Wings in Missoula, MT. I’ll work on getting you more Red Door pics in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for the link. I’m already working on a guest post written by a fan in Denver about the bar they hang out at. Would you want to do something like that on Montana?
That would be great – give me a heads up before hand and I’ll buy you a drink Michael!
Michael, I was in Billings with our group at the Red Door last week. Had a GREAT time. About 50 Seahawks fans winning prizes, cheering and having a GREAT 12 time!!!! How can I send you pictures to share?
Hey Roger! Can you email the pix to me at accidentaltravelwriter@ymail.com?
