“Home of the 12s” is a nickname for Lumen Field, the stadium where the Seattle Seahawks play. The “12s” are the fans—the team calls them the “12th man” because their loud support feels like having an extra player on the field.
In everyday talk, Seattle locals and sports reporters just say, “Let’s head to the Home of the 12s,” instead of “the stadium.” When the Seahawks score, you’ll hear the PA shout, “Touchdown at the Home of the 12s!” and the whole place erupts.

- “I’ve got tickets to the Home of the 12s this Sunday.”—fans talking to friends.
- “Noise record set at the Home of the 12s.”—headlines about fan volume.
