It's a half step up from McMahon, only because of the amount of seats.
But there is no parking, the end area space is just as useless as McMahon's area beyond the endzones, and the track space is still there's even though there's no track. Concessions and concourses better then McMahon, but any NFL football stadium in the US is 5x the stadium for fan comforts etc that Commenweath is.BC Place is the only one that can come close here.
That said, it's not like Vancouver is Seahawks crazy.Matt Hasselbach I recall tweeted while visiting Vancouver once that he was going to give the first person he saw in DT Vancouver wearing Seahawks stuff a pile of swag, and it took him hours to find one.
Seattle did play in Toronto vs the Bills 9 years back. Seattle blowout in Wilson's rookie year. The infamous Gangem Style halftime show.
Seattle has fans, like me, growing up through the 80s and 90s, because we got Spokane KHQ NBC showing the AFC regional games, which of course are Seattle's home area.
