Multi-poll: Seahawks'n Mariners

[Sibelius Hindemith]

The attendance as gauged by deviation from league average.

Over the past week, I think the Seahawks have had a better 7 days that will transfer to better on field performance!

Only submitted 3 votes. The way the poll is set up, I think the max number of votes anybody can punch is 5, right?

One vote is for the Seahawks to have the better win percentage.
~ if the Seahawks go 9-8 = 52.9%
~ if the Mariners go 85-77 = 52.5%.

Of course, hoping both teams far exceed those win totals.
If Seahawks just win 10, lose 7, they are 58.8%
If the M's go 94-58, they still lose because the % is still only 58.0. 95 wins is 58.6%. To get to 59.2%, M's must win 96 games.

I think I'll go home tonight and pour a drink and toast to much Schneider and Dipoto success

If the Seahawks do have better attendance it will probably be due to all the tickets purchased by fans of the opposing teams.

I'm more excited about the Hawks. Their front office isn't screwing around. They're going after impact players in free agency and they've put themselves in a great position in the upcoming draft. They really genuinely want to be champions. Especially compared to the Mariner organization which is content to just kind of lightly paw at greatness.

I liked how the Seahawks off season was characterized in an article as the opposite of a rebuild.

The attendance as gauged by deviation from league average.

League average for the NFl last year was 69,555. That's more than Lumen Field holds. MLB average last year was 29,568. The M's averaged 31,553. You know they are going to have a bunch of Ichiro Hall of fame giveaways and stuff that will pack the place out. Throw in a few fire works nights and such. I think the M's are above League average again.

I have always thought it was bizarre that the biggest football stadiums in the country are all college stadiums and they are massively bigger than the average NFL stadium.

Fans dig college football, biggest draw in the world

. And yet the biggest crowd puller in all of American sport, and global sport is … college football. Or in other words, gridiron teams from US universities playing against each other.

No fewer than 19 university teams had bigger average home attendances in the 2023 season than the NFL’s 2023 average of 69,478.

Seven of those college football teams, from the Michigan Wolverines to the teams representing the universities of Penn State, Ohio State, Tennessee, Texas, Louisiana State University and Alabama, had average attendances in 2023 of more than 100,000 fans per home game.

Michigan’s average attendance in 2023 was 109,971. The stadium’s official capacity is 107,601 but on 10 occasions since 2010 alone, attendances have topped 113,000. This isn’t because tickets are cheap: in 2024 the average ticket price per game will be $82.50, which is about £65, or 75 euros.
