Seahawks beat Bears: an ugly win on a beautiful day

The product on the field was at times messy, frustrating, and disappointing, but as far as atmosphere goes you couldn’t ask for much more than the football Gods provided yesterday at CenturyLink Field. The freshly painted FieldTurf was bathed in sunlight while skydivers flew in from the north prior to the coin toss. Fans were decked out in their best Seahawk gear, not having to worry about covering up with a poncho or jacket. You could feel the anticipation in the air, with much of the crowd seeming to arrive earlier than usual. Streets around the stadium were packed 3 hours before kick, and their collective energy was palatable.
