Pumped-up Seahawks fans spend big before playoff game
»Play Video
SEATTLE - It's the talk of the town - Seahawks fans are pumped and anxious for Sunday's playoff game against the Washington Redskins.
Fans from across the area are flocking to the team store while downtown Seattle businesses are getting ready to be slammed on game day.
And die-hard Seahawks fans won't settle for just any old gear during the playoffs.
"I am beyond excited," says fan Jared Hannam. "You can only have one game at a time. There's a Super Bowl around the corner and the NFC around the corner."
Many of these Seahawks fans traveled to Seattle for their gear.
"It's been awesome. It's been so positive and so encouraging to see how well they do and are doing this year," says one fan. "Got a Seahawks hat, T-shirt and still looking for socks."
There are socks aplenty at the Seattle team shop - but you won't find any Russell Wilson jerseys. Those sold out during the regular season..
"Everybody wants Russell Wilson everything. Everybody wants the blue and grey - they're completely gone," says Seahawks fan Jennifer Hayes.
The other popular item here is the Nike KO sweatshirt - it's the same one head coach Pete Carroll wears.
"It's just nice to see we have really strong fans everybody is excited about the playoffs," says store manager Jennifer Hayes.
At Buckley's in Belltown every seat in the house is expected to be full by 9:30 Sunday morning - that's four hours before kickoff.
"The bandwagon has definitely started," adds Peter Jaeger, Buckley's manager. "Sundays are great. The Seahawks are awesome for business."
In the meantime, fans are busy preparing for game day - whether it's getting party supplies or last-minute gear.
"I took the ferry from Bremerton and I probably got stopped by 30 or 40 people screaming all day long," says one fan. "Got the flag on top of the Needle. Everybody's ready."
The president of the Seahawks Boosters Club says it's business as usual on Saturday - most people are just taking it easy at home and waiting until tomorrow's big game.

Use drugs and alcohol in moderation. And don't drive under influence or while intoxicated.
Be a lot of DUI's in the area later today. Condolences.
I still have my Seahawk Championship shirt, wearing it today.
Alright Seattle! Keep on Hawking!!
Well, as a lifelong Seahawks fan I'm pretty stoked. I think this team is better than the one we sent to the SuperBowl 7 years ago. We're also getting a heck of a lot more respect this time around.
I'm involved with Buckley's and didn't even know about this. Thanks KOMO. We have a location in Queen Anne too which is a little smaller, more of a neighborhood bar. Both are great places to get some drinks and good food. And we quickly deal with anyone who is drunk and obnoxious. Â
 @lakeview Well... you should not open up tomorrow, then.

There are people all over the country excited for the Hawks game. In fact, TMZ even has a video of Pete Carroll on their website.
Â
GO HAWKS!!!
 @Tattooed_Angel Except for ESPN because their dumb!
 @nwsportstilidie Yeah, "THEIR dumb".
Lets hope Minnesota wins their next two games as well. Wishful thinking, but it would be nice if the NFC title game was played right here in Seattle. First things first though.
@Dylandawg Well, *that* game didn't turn out the way we wanted, did it? :)
So, the Road to New Orleans looks like DC, Divisional Seed [probably SanFran], and Green Bay. Tough row to hoe but we can do it!
 @Dylandawg Right...can't win without the 12th_Man_Cheat....
 @Biggg Donnn Taking time out of your (obviously important) life, with nothing better to do than troll the message boards today?
@Biggg Donnn Carolina, Chicago, Buffalo. No 12th man was there u bitter little man.
 @Dylandawg AGREED!! If the NFC champ game is here, I like our chances! :)
 @Seadude333  @Dylandawg I LOVE our chances.
