The 12th Man surely dominates the atmosphere at CenturyLink Field, so how does it feel for fans of the opposing team who have traveled to Seattle?
Rob Cox, a season ticket-holding Carolina Panthers fan, turned out for his first CenturyLink experience last Saturday. While his team didn’t take home the win, Cox told KIRO Radio’s Ron & Don it was thrilling.
“The whole experience of listening to the 12th Man was really awesome. It’s just something you cannot tell anybody about,” said Cox. “You just have to be there to see it.”
Even though Cox was well aware of the 12th Man’s record-breaking noise, he said it was even louder than he imagined.
But he said despite wearing opposing team colors and bringing his own Panthers flag, the boisterous 12s were still pretty respectful.
“Nobody hassled us, really,” he said. “Everybody, all the way from the person who checked us in to security, everybody was just so cool to us.”
Cox said they had a positive experience at CenturyLink and left no worse for the wear having wisely brought ear plugs along.
“We had just a great time at the game,” says Cox, calling it an “awesome experience.”
