Seattle held a big celebration on Wednesday.
First, 50,000 ticketed fans packed the stadium for the Super Bowl trophy presentation, along with speeches and a lot more rah-rah. Jill, Cousin Andy, and Jake were there.
Then there was a two mile long parade from the stadium to Seattle Center through the city. Seahawk players rode on top of double decker busses and some players "escaped" to mingle with the crowds. It was a party.
Somewhere between 800,000 and 1,000,000 people packed in and lined the streets. Jill reports that everyone was just having a good time.
Jill and the guys were at the start of the parade and then tried to get home. The light rail stations were packed and overflowing. They walked further south and got an UBER to get home.
Jill reports that she was tired but happy with the experience. Seattle will be recovering and buzzing for days to come.
I watched it all from home.
Way too many people for me! Watching from home is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's a celebration! As Connie says, to many people for me, but I bet it was amazing to be in that crowd.
