The team gathered on buses and drove to their planes as fans lined the streets and cheered them on. Players, news organizations and fans all posted photos of the event on to social media showing the size of the turnout.

Once the team arrived some of the players took a moment to hang with the fans, including Richard Sherman.
Seattle takes on New England on Feb. 1 at 6:30 p.m. on NBC.
Who's throwing skittles at the buses!! #12s #SeahawksSendoff
