Qwest Field

We had the wonderful opportunity to take our boys and girls PE classes to Qwest field on a tour. I don't know how interesting the kids think it was, but I thought it was great! Lots of little details that you would never know or be aware of as a mere spectator.

The tour lasted just over 90 minutes and included tours of the two media rooms (one for broadcast and one for written media), the luxury suites (great views of the field and comfy chairs), a walk up to the "Hawks Nest" where the 12th man flag is raised each gameday and then down to the playing field. What an amazing surface down there! Under the artificial turf is 1000s of ground up tires and old Nike tennis shoes. How's that for trivia?!

We also had an opportunity to visit the visiting team's locker rooms which are normally off limits. They were not very impressive, but still neat to think that every week they hold some of the best players in the NFL! The tour guide related the difference of this locker room to the Seahawks and I guess it helped put it in perspective.

I walked all the way around the stadium on the "luxury" level and saw all the restaurants and lounges that you wouldn't normally get to see. Well, unless you have LOTS of money for a suite! It was a great tour and I found it quite interesting. Hopefully the kids did, as well!
