The Seahawks played in the NFC West in their first season in 1976 before moving to the AFC West in 1977. The Seahawks won the AFC West in 1988 and 1999, and the NFC West from 2004 through 2007, as well as in 2010, 2013, and 2014. They went 9-7 during their divisional stints in the AFC.
Seattle was a member of the American Football League from 1966 until 1975 when they joined the NFL. The Seahawks played their home games at Franklin Field, which they shared with the Philadelphia Eagles from 1970 to 1973 and from 1975 to 1976. They moved into the Kingdome in 1982 and did not leave until 2001 when they returned to Seattle's NFL stadium, Qwest Field, for the 2002 season. They have not left since.
Seattle has had more success on the field than most other teams in the NFL. They have only missed the playoffs four times - 1978, 1979, 1990, and 1991 - and have won two AFL Championships (1976, 1977) and three Super Bowls (1975, 1996, 2009).
Economically, Seattle is by far the best city in which to be a football player. Its team earns over $250 million per year and its fans are known for their passionate support of their team. The city has more sports franchises than any other city and its fans are willing to pay to see them play.
2002 On May 22, 2001, a remarkable moment in Seahawks history occurred: The Seahawks have been moved from the AFC West to the NFC West for the 2002 season when the NFL realigns into eight four-team divisions. This means that all of Seattle's opponents will be located in the Pacific Time Zone, which should help ease some of the travel difficulties that came with playing in two time zones away from home.
The NFL requires each team to have an equal number of games played on Eastern and Western Conference times. Because the Seahawks had more home games than road games during their first year in the AFC West, the league granted them a waiver so they could move ahead one game per season instead of requiring them to play one home and one away game.
The decision by the NFL to require all teams to play at least three games per season outside of their own division is meant to even out the number of road games played by each team. By doing this, the league hopes to reduce the number of road games that are decided by fate (i.'til a miracle happens), while still giving all teams an opportunity to gain valuable experience playing games outside of their natural habitat.
There are several benefits for players who experience different environments during the course of a season. First, it makes the schedule more balanced across teams.
The Seahawks are members of the National Football League's (NFL) National Football Conference (NFC) and have won one Super Bowl (2014) as well as three NFC titles (2006, 2014, and 2015). The Seahawks joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an expansion team in 1976.
