Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf has called on the team's fans to stop selling tickets to opposing teams, citing the impact of visiting fan support on home games.
Lumen Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks , is renowned for its deafening atmosphere, thanks to its passionate fan base, the '12th Man.' During Seattle's 'Legion of Boom' era, those fans were particularly ferocious. However, this season, the energy hasn't been the same. Seattle has a disappointing 3-5 record at home, suffering heavy defeats against the Bills, 49ers, and Packers.
After a 30-13 loss to Green Bay last week, wide receiver DK Metcalf publicly urged fans to stop selling tickets to opposing teams. 'We still need them to come out and be supportive,' Metcalf stated. 'I know in the first quarter, second or third play of the game, it got crazy loud in there. I looked around and there were a lot of Green Bay fans. They did a great job traveling, but just wishing us 12s didn't sell as many tickets as they did to make sure we kept the home-field advantage. But yeah, man, it would mean a lot just to take this last one home and finish off the season strong so we can play again in front of them in the playoffs.' While the Seahawks still have a slim chance of making the playoffs as a wild card, they would need to overtake the Washington Commanders (9-5). With only three weeks remaining, winning the division is their only guaranteed path to the tournament. The Vikings haven't left Seattle victorious since 2006. Their past five visits have resulted in losses by scores of 27-26 (2020), 37-30 (2019), 21-7 (2018), 41-20 (2013), and 30-20 (2012).
