The Seattle Seahawks will not enjoy the benefit of their raucous fanbase attending home games at CenturyLink Field... at least for the start of the season.
In an announcement made on Wednesday, the team confirmed that the home games against the New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys, and Minnesota Vikings won’t have fans in attendance.
“After careful consideration, we have made the difficult determination to play at least our first three home games (Sept. 20, Sept. 27 and Oct. 11) without fans in attendance. While CenturyLink Field has become the best home field advantage in the league thanks to the energy and passion of the 12s, the health and safety of all of our fans, players and staff remains our top priority.
