yeah the cheapest hotels are around the airport which is about 20mins from the stadium. I've gotten friends and family rooms there, at good places to like the Hilton or doubletree for $50 a night on priceline, it makes much more sense to get a place near the airport and split a cab or take a bus to the stadium, then it does to stay downtown, the places there are much more expensive and not as big rooms etc... I guess it would be cool to stay downtown if your going to explore the downtown area a lot etc... even then you would still come ahead by staying near the airport (town is called Seatac) and taking multiple cabs if you want to go up there etc.. or even renting a car.

If you guys want to hit an attraction while your here, I would highly recommend checking out the EMP (Experience Music Project) tickets are less than $20 and also include admission to the sci fi museum, all of this is in an area called Seattle Center, its where the space needle is and where the Sonics used to play, everyone always talks about Pioneer square and Pike Place Market etc... but trust me the coolest place/thing this city has to offer is Seattle Center, its very unique and fun

Actually I have a pretty big house 10mins from the stadium and could probably put a few people up for a couple nights if someone needed a place to stay, I can also help get tickets for anyone thats coming from local craigslist ads etc... I would ask in exchange that when I come to a home game in Charlotte that someone would help me get some tix of craigslist etc...

Hey Hawk ,

Have you been to any of the Raider/hawks preseason game, that seem to be hosted by the hawks every preseason? I went to a couple and was surprised at how many fights and flat out riots etc... especially for a preseason game lol, never seen anything like it, not even at hawks playoff games etc...

But to the other posters, hawk is right and the above scenario is definetly not the norm.

I beg to differ on this one. The previous game I went too me and the wife are sitting there, upper deck me wearing a Smitty Jersey doing nothing but cheering for our shitty team that year and I had some sort of food thrown at my back. I wasn't drinking, talking smack or anything along that lines, I just ignored whoever did it, and it didn't happen again, but I was seriously going WTF? I went to Oakland 2 years ago, and they were great considering how their reputation is you're going to get killed if you wear opposing gear in their stadium. I don't know maybe it was just an bad day for this fan.

nope, I haven't been...I was at a reg season game though a few years back and it wasn't pretty. There's a long standing hatred between Seattle and the raiders though from their days in the AFC West...and also, let's face it, Oakland doesn't have the highest educated fans in the league either...certainly not the creme de la creme, am I wrong?!!!!

ya, unfortunately, poo like this happens in every stadium to a certain extent, but I think in Seattle it's certainly not the norm! We had food and obscenities thrown our way at BOA as well.

if any of you still plan to go to Seattle for the Panthers game, I do have tickets available still as I found a different pair for Cosmo and 5158.

Shoot me a pm if you are looking for tickets and I'll be more than happy to help out.

I'm still working out the means of doing so, so I can't say for sure either way yet...

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
