Twelves Day? ⒓⑫⑿⓬Ⅻ㍤✹

April 12th

"National For Twelves Day is dedicated to the extraordinary significance that the number 12 plays throughout our lives. This number is special in history and culture, from getting to places on time, to playing sports. This day is an opportunity to explore and appreciate the unique role of the number 12 in our world."

The 12th Man flag

When I did a tour of Lumen Field, the Seattle Seahawks stadium, my youngest son and I got to have our photo taken with the 12 flag that is flown at every home game, like these fans that were on the tour with us, in the above photo.

The childhood home I spent the first 20 years of my life growing up in was a #12.

Lumen Field

"The term 12th Man has been used by various American football teams including the University of Minnesota, the University of Iowa, Baylor University, Dartmouth College, Simmons College, Texas A&M and the NFL's Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, Washington Commanders, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, and Chicago Bears in marketing practices in reference to their supporters.

The Seahawks currently use the phrase "The 12s""

Unfortunately, the field was marked out for a
soccer game
the day we toured the stadium:-(

Seattle was my favourite city of all the cities I visited on my American trip, but then again being a Seahawks fan since the 90s I could be a bit biased?

The stadium tour was one of the highlights of my trip, now I guess I'll have to go back and watch a Seahawks game in it one day.

I guess there are a dozen reasons at least to go back to Seattle one day;-)

GO THE SEAHAWKS!!!
