The Legend of Qwest Field

As if the home of the Seattle Seahawks was not already the most widely feared stadium to poor offensive lineman who get caught with false starts, but now the legend grows as a seismometer near the stadium is now also on the list of things that jump due to the fans.

Yes, as Marshawn Lynch ran for his electric touchdown to put the nail in the Saints coffin there was such a ruckus that it registered as a type 1 or 2 earthquake on the meter. The quake actually had three different bursts in that match up with the times of when he broke through the line, stiff armed Tracy Porter and plunged into the endzone.

The design of the stadium has already been talked about with its goal to direct crowd noise on the field, but I don’t think that can affect the outcome of shaking the earth. Some may point out that it must be the size of the fans…yeah…maybe. I believe if your crazy enough to have been beaten down by the dreadfulness that had been Seattle sports for so long and still be a fan, you’re going to go absolutely insane when an event like that happens at that perfect moment in the game.

Now as for the legend, in thirty years when it no longer exists we will be grandfathers telling tales of Qwest Field, the arena that opposing teams feared more than the Seahawks themselves because every time it erupted Mt. Ranier would spew out lava and chase the foes out of town! Pesky foes, what were they thinking entering the great Qwest Field.

But seriously the fact of the matter is, fans created an earthquake. This equals awesome and should be talked about for years to come. Go Seahawks!!!
