judman Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 A guy I work with is a huge Seahawks fan (has been all his life). He sent an email to the PR people in Seattle around Christmas telling them he was a lifetime fan of the team, etc. and that he planned on coming west sometime with his family to see a game in Seattle. The next day a woman from the team called him, took down some information and was going to send him a gift pack with some t-shirts and other swag. During the conversation with her she asked him about his favorite players. He mentioned Steve Largent and a host of other old time players along with Russell Wilson. He assumed that was the end of it and was impressed with the response... until this past Monday. The woman called him again and asked him if he wanted to come to the Panthers game on Saturday. They flew him and his wife to Seattle, put them up in a hotel, gave them 2 club seats on the 45 yard line, limousine transportation, and a bag of stuff at the hotel (which probably has jerseys and stuff in it). I figured people on this board might appreciate the story, so i thought I'd share it with you all. It's neat to see something like this happen to someone you know.

Deranged Rhino Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Great story, goes in sharp contrast to Atlanta raising their PSL's to $45k. Good work, Seahawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a little like that he was kind of begging for something and then they went way over the top. Definitely a cool story but to me a bit bizarre that he would contact public relations to just say hey I'm a life long fan and am planning to come to a game, just wanted to let you know.

Nah, he's really not that kind of guy. He was expecting a canned response like some of the others mentioned that they got from OBD. He was over the moon with the t-shirt and team photo pack.

ChevyVanMiller Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) That is really cool. I never thought doing those things would ever elicit a response. Great story!I know. I couldn't get a response from the Bills when I called with a $153,000 check for Darryl Talley. Lol Great gesture by the Seahawks though, good on them.

I wouldn't think so, I'm willing to bet across major sports the teams get emails and letters like this stuff all the time. I bet it's more common than we would think.
