There’s a reason Seattle Seahawks fans are called The 12th Man.

Seattle fans came out in full force to send the Seahawks off to the Super Bowl on Sunday afternoon, while Denver Broncos fans — well, maybe there’s more to do in the Mile High City in January. “Thousands” of Seahawks fans lined the streets as their team drove to the airport, leaving for New York. Only “200-plus” Denver fans cheered on the Broncos when they left in the morning.

Compare the Seahawks’ and Broncos’ sendoffs in the photos below.
