Geno Smith commented on the significant presence of Buffalo Bills fans at Lumen Field last weekend, noting that “Their fans travel well. It was real loud in there, it kind of felt like we were on the road at times.”
While this is the first time a Seahawk has mentioned it this season, discussions have been ongoing on Seahawks Reddit for weeks. Some season ticket holders were called out for selling their seats to the San Francisco 49ers game, sparking a similar conversation after the Buffalo Bills game.
Pat McAfee also weighed in, questioning if Seattle fans have given up hope.
The issue at hand is whether more season ticket holders are selling off their seats compared to previous years. From a long-time season ticket holder’s perspective, it seems to be a cyclical phenomenon. When the Seahawks are performing well, the stadium is predominantly filled with their fans. But during challenging times, more opposing fans tend to show up.
Mike Macdonald emphasized the importance of winning to prevent opposing fans from dominating the stands.

Looking back at home game records, the Seahawks have a 19-19 record at home dating back to 2019. Even during successful seasons, like 2019, they struggled at home.
On a personal note, a previous game where half the stadium was supporting the opposing team raised concerns. It’s essential for Seattle fans to support their team, especially in critical matchups.
While the Seahawks emerged victorious in that game, it raised questions about the loyalty of some fans.
If fans are selling their tickets to crucial games, it raises doubts about their dedication to the team.
