SEATTLE — All 12’s celebrated Football Fest at Lumen Field Friday night to kick off the Seahawks' season.
“I’m real excited, hoping to hear some noise," safety Bobby Wagner said before the game. "I’m hoping to get all the fanfare out…I’m excited to get in front of this fanbase and really show what I have to offer."
As training camp is coming to an end, the Seahawks are gearing up for the start of the 2023 season. At Lumen Field, the Seahawks played in a mock game and got the chance to interact with their beloved 12’s. Fans got a sneak peek into the exploding energy this season is going to have.
Football Fest took place on Lumen Field with the gate opening at 4 p.m. and the game starting at 5:20 p.m. There was an opportunity for autograph signing at 7 p.m.

Fans watched the chemistry between rookie receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, safety Julian Love, Bobby Wagner, who is back with the Hawks after a year with the Los Angeles Rams, and the rest of the Seahawks.
"Every time [Geno Smith] throws the ball my way, [ I ] know to catch it, to do my job first and foremost," Smith-Njigba said. "Whatever he asks whatever he needs me to do, I’m willing to do it.”
