When we have Team Mudhoney? See, nobody in Seattle really cared about the Super Bowl this past weekend—it was all about the sold-out Mudhoney and Sonics show at the Showbox at the Market. We're not a city made of sports—we're made of grunge! I asked these two girls who were pounding beer and headbanging nonstop through the entire show, and they agreed. Mudhoney: 1.
Seattle Seahawks: 0.
Don't agree? What do you think Seattle is really made of?

Actually, Seahawks stadium is the loudest stadium in the NFL, and despite being one of the largest college football stadiums, the Huskies sell out months in advance. No one cared about the Super Bowl because (as usual) it was between teams from the Northeast andor California. The grunge people and the football people are from different parts of town in my experience, however.

I love Mudhoney and the Seahawks! Let Mark Arm raise that 12th Man flag! That would be Awwsome. Rock On Kelly OOO.

Seattle is really made of kids who can barely play instruments but want to be in bands that are mentioned in The Stranger. Grunge was slop, is slop and will always be slop. And no, it's not a sports town. Most people here can't get behind anything for more than sixty minutes. Hail me.

#5, the data does not support your conclusions. Seattle, despite having a metro area only about the same population as Omaha, Nebraska and far fewer other significant cities nearby, has one of the largest college football stadiums in the US, which sells out months in advance, and the loudest stadium in the NFL. They do, however, have a grudge against the SuperBowl because of how the Seahawks were wronged by the referees the last time they went.

GREAT PHOTO! And eerily recalls the cover of Mudhoney's genius Superfuzz Bigmuff - surely one of the greatest albums, and album covers of all time.
These chicks look like the Mudhoney daughters - literally, they could pass for Mark Arm's kids.

@3-yes i know and hated it since the Seahawks "adopted" it. Then, this season, I got a #12 fan jersey for my birthday and the games were fun to go to and watch this season. Now I'm no longer a grumypants about it. so there. #5-suck a geoduck.

@6: I can't help but laugh, heartily, out loud every time somebody cries about the superbowl being "stolen" by "bad calls." A loud stadium doesn't mean jack shit if the noise is from fans crying foul every time they start losing.
