Under the leadership of head coach Jack Patera, the Seattle Seahawks made their NFL debut in 1976. Two years later, in 1978, the Seahawks had their first successful season, and Patera was voted NFL Coach of the Year in 1979. The inaugural season of the Seattle Seahawks in 1976 represented the completion of a search for a National Football League franchise that began in the Pacific Northwest city in 1957. At that time, the idea of building a dome stadium to guarantee the city a major league sports franchise was initially brought up. Seattle received the NFL's 28th franchise on June 4, 1974, to play in the 64,984-seat Kingdome.
The Seahawks currently compete in the NFC West division of the NFL. Till 2001 the Seattle Seahawks used to play in the AFC West Division and remain the only team to have played in both the AFC and NFC Championship games. The team had very successful seasons in the initial stages but failed to make it to the postseason much, during the 1990s. However, since 2003, the Seattle Seahawks have rarely missed a spot at the playoffs with numerous consecutive appearances. The Seattle Seahawks franchise is currently valued at around $4.5 billion.

The number 12 in Seattle is an ode to the Seattle Seahawks’ loyal fans. In football there are 11 men allowed on the field at one time. In December 1984, the fledgling Seattle NFL franchise (at the time just eight years old) retired the number 12 to honor the fans, the symbolic 12th man on the field. The number refers to “the 12th Man,” the nickname for the Seattle Seahawks’ devoted, tenacious and record-breakingly loud fans. The fans are considered as part of the team and an important part that too, urging them to persuade victory.
The current Seattle Seahawks home stadium is the Lumen Field. The Lumen field is also the home field for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL), the Seattle Sea Dragons of the XFL, and the Seattle Sounders FC of Major League Soccer (MLS). The field gets incredibly loud at times owing to the fans, which makes it one of the greatest home advantage for the Seahawks to play there.
