This Sunday night at Lumen Field against the Green Bay Packers, the Seattle Seahawks will celebrate the 12s with the first-ever NFL halftime show using drones. That’s right, it’s a drone show!
The show should last around ten minutes and is being operated by a drone company called Sky Elements.
The news was released Wednesday afternoon on Seahawks.com and includes the following statement:
“More than 500 drones will celebrate the powerful legacy of the 12s through a colorful, fun, and immersive show for fans. During Sunday’s game, the franchise will [celebrate] the retirement of the No. 12 jersey that honors the fans. Seattle was the first professional sports franchise to retire a jersey in honor of its fans. The 12s are known as one of the loudest fanbases in all of professional sports and have twice set the Guinness World Record for the loudest crowd noise at a sporting event. Today, there are 12s everywhere around the world wearing their 12 jerseys, flying their 12 Flags, and cheering on their Seahawks.”
They’re calling it the “First-ever halftime drone show,” but there have been NFL drone shows before. Like this one before Super Bowl LVI in 2022:
It all looks pretty cool, and as long as they don’t hit Taima, I’m in.
