The Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl parade was a once in a lifetime experience. There were more than 700,000 fans attending the parade. Fans from all around the US and Canada came to participate in the parade and see some of their favorite Seattle Seahawks. Seahawk players traveled in open military vehicles, and their families traveled in buses. Seahawk management traveled in Ducks and Humvees. Seahawks’ running back, Marshawn Lynch, was on the front of one of the Ducks, throwing skittles into the crowd. Fans repaid him with a Native American tribal drum. When players Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas passed by, the crowd started chanting LOB (legion of boom) repeatedly. Although the parade was all in good spirit, it did cause some damage to The Pergola, a historical site Downtown. Some local businesses were also damaged. Not to mention the hardship workers faced trying commute to and from work. Despite this, it was an amazing day for Seattle sports and the Pacific Northwest in general.
