The Seattle Seahawks are a professional American football team based in Seattle. The Seahawks compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference (NFC) West, which they joined in 2002. The club entered the NFL as an expansion team in 1976. From 1977 to 2001, Seattle was assigned to the American Football Conference (AFC) West. They have played their home games at Lumen Field in Seattle's SoDo neighborhood since 2002, having previously played home games in the Kingdome (1976–1999) and Husky Stadium (1994 and 2000–2001). The Seahawks are currently coached by Pete Carroll.
Seahawks fans have been referred to collectively as the "12th Man", "12th Fan", or "12s. The team's fans twice set the Guinness World Record for the loudest crowd noise at a sporting event within the span of a few months, first registering 136.6 decibels during a game against the San Francisco 49ers in September 2013, and later registering 137.6 dB during a Monday Night Football game against the New Orleans Saints that December. As the only NFL team based in the Pacific Northwest region of North America, the Seahawks attract support from a wider geographical area.
The 2022 season will be the Seattle Seahawks' 47th in the National Football League and their 13th under the head coach/general manager tandem of Pete Carroll and John Schneider. They will attempt to improve on their 7–10 record from last year and return to the playoffs after a one-year absence. For the first time since 2011, quarterback Russell Wilson and linebacker Bobby Wagner will not be on the roster as Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos and Wagner was released and later signed with the Los Angeles Rams. Both were the last remaining players from their Super Bowl-winning season on the roster.
