Seattle's 12s celebrate Super Bowl champion Seahawks

Twelfth Man? More like Millionth Man.

Hundreds of thousands of Seattle Seahawks fans were at Lumen Field and lined downtown streets Wednesday morning to celebrate their Super Bowl LX champions.

Seahawks Head Coach Mike Macdonald, who has led the team since just 2024, thanked the fans during a trophy ceremony at Lumen Field before the parade kicked off.

"Having a football team is just the best thing going," Macdonald said. "We love the 12s. You guys are the best in the world. And now, we're the best football team in the world."

"We had one goal," said wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, holding up the Vince Lombardi Trophy, "to bring this home... to the best fans in the world."

The Seahawks crushed the New England Patriots in Sunday's big game, never losing the lead and finally winning 29-13. Seattle's "Dark Side" defense made the win seem inevitable early on; the Seahawks led 12-0 at the end of the third quarter — all thanks to four field goals kicked by Jason Myers — and that gap widened to 19 before the Patriots even got on the board.

Tight end AJ Barner, who caught a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, took the mic at Lumen Field in a fur coat and cowboy hat.

"I got a few things for y'all," he hollered. "First, we did not care. Second, we still don't care. Third, the Super Bowl Hawks live here."

The decisive win was retribution for the Seahawks, who lost to the Patriots in the 2015 Super Bowl after a heartbreaking interception at the goal line that led to a New England victory 28-24.

That was firmly in the past Wednesday.

"The Seahawks, they've broken our hearts many times," said lifelong fan Andres Munoz as he waited for the parade to begin. "It was literally the perfect way to bring home this win, to get our revenge on the Patriots where the 49ers play."

Munoz was referring to the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle's biggest rival. This year's Super Bowl was played at Levi's Stadium, home of the 49ers.

Seattle expected anywhere from 750,000 to a million fans to turn out along 4th Avenue. Blue-and-green-clad spectators started lining the streets hours before the festivities officially kicked off . It was a clear but chilly morning. Fans were bundled in their gear and got the party started early with music to stay warm.

Anyone still looking to join the celebration, or simply to navigate the downtown area, should expect street closures and heavy traffic between Lumen Field and the Seattle Center until at least 1:30 p.m. City officials urged attendees to use public transit, walk, or bike.

And if the Seahawks have their way, this won't be Seattle's last chance to celebrate a big win.

Defensive end Leonard Williams promised more to come: "We not done. We coming back next year."
