Team Notes

122 Consecutive Sell Outs

1,743 Roster Transactions Since 2010

Since the Seahawks trip to Super Bowl XL, NFCWest crowns from 2004-07, 2010, 2013-14 and 2016, a Super Bowl XLVIII championship and Super Bowl XLIX appearance, Seattle's fans do not want to miss out on seeing their team in action. Since 2003, all but one game has sold out, giving the team 122 consecutive sell outs entering Week 1 of the 2017 season, including playoffs.

Fans set the CenturyLink Field attendance record (69,190) in Week 11 vs. Philadelphia (11/20/16).

For the fourth-consecutive year, Seattle posted at least a 99% season ticket renewal rate while selling all 61,000 available season tickets.

Training Camp presented by Safeway practices open to the public also sold out. In all, more than 30,000 fans attended the team's 12 open camp sessions.

Since forming their relationship in 2010, General Manager John Schneider and Pete Carroll have put together the NFL's most competitive, deep and talented roster over the last eight seasons.

As a result of the numerous transactions, Seattle has had 185 players play at least one NFL game with another team, and 118 play at least 10 games after being released, traded or un-signed after their time with Seattle since 2010.

Of the 53 players on Seattle's 2017 roster, 17 originally entered the league as undrafted free agents (six with Seattle) and the remaining 36 were drafted (five in the first-round, seven in the second-round, 11 in the third-round, three in the fourthround, six in the fifth-round, two in the sixth-round and two in the seventh-round), including 25 drafted by Seattle (exceptions: Aboushi, Alexander, Avril, Bass, Battle, Graham, Joeckel, Lacy, S. Richardson, Smith, Walsh).

155 False Starts at Home

85-35 NFCHome Record Since 2002

One thing that has been a constant from the early days of the Kingdome through the championship years of CenturyLink Field is that the 12s have given that extra edge to the Seahawks when playing in the Puget Sound.

Seattle has the NFC's second-best home winning percentage since moving to the NFCin 2002 with an 85-35 record, and is one of two teams with 80-plus wins during that span.
