点评:Stadium Series (Lumen Field), Part 1
“I get a strange magic. Oh, what a strange magic.”
Electric Light Orchestra
How to spend NYE? Decisions, decisions. Should you spend it with 12 of your closest friends…or with “The 12’s” of Seattle?
Well if you select the latter, you should be warned that there may be a “strange magic” at Lumen Field and “The 12’s” likely have something to do with it.
An informal nod of appreciation to their fans, the Seattle Seahawks lovingly refer to their enthusiastic fans as “The 12’s” because they bring enough loud and verbal support on a weekly basis that their fans can be regarded as their “12th” player during each game.
Those “12’s” brought enough support during this game to reach a reported 107 decibels (which prompted Dana’s Apple Watch to issue multiple “loud environmental warnings” 🤯). I not only observed multiple fans wearing earplugs, but at least one (adult) wearing full ear muffs.
Perhaps it is exactly that auditory overload which prompts the “strange magic” at this venue. I mean, something motivated Marshawn Lynch (Seahawks legend) to pump up players on the field pre-game, Julio Rodriguez (Seattle Mariners baseball star) to raise the “12 Flag” pre-game, “Blitz the Seahawk” to fire t-shirts with a REVOLVING CANNON into the crowd during halftime, or a VISITING fan to share with the HOME fans near him a football that was kicked over the protective netting. (Although that visiting fan was required to return the game ball to the field, a commemorative ball was provided for him to keep—which I’m pretty certain the 12’s had something to do with. 😉)
Walking to Lumen Field from most downtown hotels is reasonable (approximately 40 minutes), but we’d recommend avoiding 3rd Avenue at all costs (day or night—if you’ve visited Seattle at any point during the past few years, you’ll know exactly why.)
And that’s…Henry’s Take.

翻译:体育场系列(Lumen Field),第 1 部分
“我得到了一种奇怪的魔法。哦,多么奇怪的魔法。”
电光交响乐团
如何度过新年前夜?决定,决定。你应该和你最亲密的 12 个朋友一起度过……还是和西雅图的“12 人”一起度过?
好吧,如果你选择后者,你应该被警告,Lumen Field 可能会出现一种“奇怪的魔法”,而“12 人”可能与此有关。
为了向球迷表示非正式的感谢,西雅图海鹰队亲切地将他们的热情球迷称为“12 人”,因为他们每周都带来足够响亮的口头支持,以至于他们的球迷在每场比赛中都可以被视为他们的“第 12 名”球员。
这“12 人”在这场比赛中带来了足够的支持,达到了据报道的 107 分贝(这促使 Dana 的 Apple Watch 发出了多个“响亮的环境警告”🤯)。我不仅看到很多球迷都戴着耳塞,而且至少有一位(成年人)戴着全耳套。
也许正是这种听觉超负荷促使了这个场馆出现“奇怪的魔力”。我的意思是,某种东西促使马肖恩·林奇(西雅图海鹰队传奇人物)在赛前为场上的球员打气,促使胡里奥·罗德里格斯(西雅图水手队棒球明星)在赛前举起“12 旗”,促使“闪电海鹰队”在中场休息时用旋转大炮向人群发射 T 恤,或者促使客队球迷与他身边的主队球迷分享一个踢过防护网的足球。 (虽然那位客队球迷必须将比赛用球放回球场,但球队还是为他准备了一个纪念用球——我敢肯定 12 号球与此有关。😉)
从大多数市中心酒店步行到 Lumen Field 是合理的(大约 40 分钟),但我们建议无论如何都不要去第三大道(无论白天还是晚上——如果你在过去几年中去过西雅图,你就会知道为什么)。
这就是……亨利的看法。
