Monday Night Football brings excitement to Seattle despite loss

Monday night football brought the excitement to Lumen Field as the Seahawks took on the Bears in Seattle. Sadly for the Seahawks, they fell to the Bears 34-17. Fox 13's Jennifer Dowling talked to fans tonight about how they were feeling about having the Monday night football national spotlight on the Emerald City. Fans were in a positive mood as they were heading into the stadium this afternoon and for those who came with friends and family, they tell me it was a chance to celebrate one another to the delight of the crowd at Lumen Field. Helicopters and fireworks filled the sky before kickoff. I love the Seahawks and I am Mr Seahawks. Fans flocked to see Monday Night Football on home turf. I am so excited. I've been waiting for this for the whole week. It's pretty unique to be on Monday Night Football and two good teams going against each other. I think the Hawks turned the corner last week after shutting down Kansas City. Some put on their game day best. A lot of polyester. Doesn't breathe as well as I thought, but normally I wear a tie with it too, but I'm going casual tonight. And for others, it was a chance to reconnect. Instead of us going to our college reunion a few weeks ago, which was Just 25 years, he said, why don't we do a father-son reunion in Seattle? College buddies Ken, a Bear fan, and Jeff, a Seahawks fan, decided to celebrate their friendship by bringing their kids to the game. It always feels great when the Seahawks win. Send them home with an even more lasting memory. It feels great. Seattle, this is my first time in Seattle. Very cool place, and I'm here for my 14th birthday. They also might just have passed on their friendly rivalry. How does it feel to have friends here to go to the game with? It feels good, mainly because I finally get to see my friends lose. What if they win? Well, I'm still going to be friends. Yeah, maybe. Though the Seahawks didn't come out on top Monday, fans say there is a lot of the regular season left to play. Even though they lost, it's fine. All right. It's a long season. And for Grace and Nick, who got engaged during the game, they felt like it was a win no matter what. We thought the Seahawks would win, but they didn't. But we won. We're bigger- I love- Love wins, no matter what, love wins. I promised her last year if the Seahawks got a ring, she'll get a ring too.
