About The Seattle Seahawks
In 1976, the Seattle Seahawks would join the NFL as an expansion team along with the Tampa Buccaneers. There was a special draft that year where the two expansion teams would alternate picks selecting unprotected players out of the other 26 league teams. Then during the 1976 regular NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks would pick up Steve Niehaus. The team would play their first pre-season game in August of 1976, treating Seattle Seahawks ticket holders to a game against the San Francisco 49ers in the new Kingdome.
The Seattle Seahawks tied for second place in 1978 and 1979 consecutively, but didn't make the playoffs either year. In fact, their first playoff appearance wouldn't come until 1983. The Seattle Seahawks ticket holders watched their team go to the AFC championship where the team would lost to the Raiders. Even though in the 1979 season they won the AFC West with a 12-4 record, the team only made it as far as the divisional playoffs.
Even with the wins, the Seattle Seahawks have always had a mediocre team. The Seattle Seahawks teased ticket holders with near playoffs throughout the 1980's. Minor success would be trashed in the 1990's though when the team really hit a bad patch. From 1991 to 1998, the Seattle Seahawks ticket holders wouldn't see a winning season.
The hardship wouldn't last though. The Seattle Seahawks tickets have become a hot seller once again. Throughout the 2000's, the team won 4 straight NFC West division titles. Matt Hasselbeck has been leading the team through its struggles since 2001 and will continue to lead them into the playoffs.
Another key to the Seattle Seahawks success has been Shawn Alexander. Joining the team in 2000, Alexander has seen three pro-bowls and has been named NFL MVP the same year that the Seattle Seahawks ticket holders saw their team go to their first and only Super Bowl.
The 2009 season for the Seattle Seahawks looks like it could be the dawn of a new era for the team. But this could prove to be bad in the eyes of Seattle Seahawks ticket holders. Longtime head coach through the most successful period of the teams career has decided to retire.
Matt Hasselbeck is back and hopefully better after only playing 7 games last season due to an injured back. Left-tackle Walter Jones is also coming of a knee surgery which cut short his 2008 season. The team may be a little rusty starting off, but with some concentration and dedication to their plays, the team just might find the success they once had.
