No, games have been stopped for lightning as early as the 60's.

Watching that 49ers/Seahawks game last night, it must be dowright awful for road teams in Seattle.

Seattle fans have a screw loose in all of their sports. It's kinda awesome.

They were incredible when the US soccer team had their qualifier against Panama there. It was the only time I've heard a US soccer crowd that was comparable to one you would see in a European setting. It gave me goosebumps through the TV. They had an announced attendance of 40,000 and that was after they put a cap on ticket sales. They were afraid that if they allowed ticket sales to max capacity the Mariners game that was going on at the same time would be completely empty.

Supposedly, during a goalline stand last night, they registered the highest ever decibal reading from a sporting event last night.

I was there for that sitting in the Hawks Nest wich apparently is where the wild Sounder fans sit. The thunder clap ritual was amazing and so loud.

the place went bananas when Shawn Alexander did some kind of pre game routine

Why wouldn't the Jags sign Tebow?

They are afraid to get laughed at even more.

All the news reporters around may affect the team's play on the field!!!

there is no chance he is worse than what I witnessed yesterday.

Chad Henne simply WOULD NOT throw it longer than 5 yards. He wasnt getting pressure that much.

I watch tons of NFL games, that was by far the worst offense i have ever scene. And in fairness, their defense is pretty solid
