The Total Fans Watching Pro Sports in Seattle This Last Weekend Was...

I was in Seattle this weekend to watch the Seattle Sea Dragons game, and it was nearly impossible to find a parking spot. All the regular garages were "pre-purchase only" so we had to drive miles down the road to find one. Now that I added up all the fan attendance numbers, I understand why.

The total amount of sports fans that watched a professional game in Seattle from last Friday through Sunday was 173,022 fans!!! I don't know if that is an official record but it has to be close!
