The Seattle Seahawks' practice facility is right here in Renton. It opened last year, but this is the first year they held open practices there. You had to get tickets online last month and they let about 1500 people into each session. We had to check in at The Landing (shopping center) and then take a bus to the facility because they don't have onsite parking. After standing in a crazy long line to check in and get our bracelets, and then in another line to get on a bus, we made it on the bus.
We got 4 tickets for the practice and invited Eric's dad and our friend Brandon.
The facility is right on Lake Washington and there was a great hill next to the outdoor practice field where we watched practice from.
Now for some players:
QB Matt Hasselbeck, #8, and #75, Sean Locklear

#81 is Nate Burleson. He went to Lindbergh High School in Renton while Eric was there. He also went to O'Dea High School in Seattle.
#84 is T.J. Houshmandzadeh, or "Who's Your Mama" as we like to call him (do you remember the Fantasy Football draft commercial??? "T.J. Who's Your Mama... Championship!")
We have a lot more pictures of players, but I don't want to bore you too much.
We had a great time and the 2 hours flew by.
Go Seahawks!
