We were directly underneath the English crowd and it was truly terrifying. An old and decrepit stadium but the Aviva will never have the character and the aura that the old Landsdowne had.

And the Millennium Stadium was built on the exact same site, only rotated 90 degrees, and still it's known to a lot of the locals as the Arms Park. .

Don't know if it's the same, but before the Sounders games there's a fan parade to the stadium with bands and stuff that's great fun and it really helps build the atmosphere. It starts about an hour and a half before kick-off from Pioneer Square. Might be worth checking out if they do something similar for the Seahawks.

Was in a few in Australia but generally as they are cricket and Aussie football they are colossal grand for a sunny day watching cricket but kills atmosphere for other sports.
