Spirit of 12 The 12th MAN Tagboards THE 12TH MAN "The 12th Man has an unparalleled impact on game days." - Pete Carroll THE LOUD & PROUD Some of the most loyal fans in the NFL. In the Northwest we refer to them as The 12th MAN. Loud, louder, the loudest. Seattle's fans are known as the loudest in the NFL, so much so that the league instituted a noise rule in 1985. Despite the rule, the 12th MAN continued the tradition, giving the Seahawks a home field advantage to this day. Seahawks salute their fans. In 2003, the 12th MAN was honored once again, this time with a flag. The tradition of the 12th MAN Flag began October 12, 2003, when 12 original season ticket holders hoisted the flag prior to kickoff. A commemorated place of honor. The Seattle fans had such an impact on the success of the team in the 1980's that Seahawks President Mike McCormack retired the number 12 jersey on December 15, 1984 forever. A tribute to the best fans in the NFL. THE 12th MAN FLAG RAISERS At every home game just before kickoff, the flag is raised in honor of the 12th MAN. From former Seahawks greats, to local celebrities and sports personalities, being called upon to raise the flag has become an honor within itself. View past flag raisers.
