Seattle “Finals” History

The city of Seattle will be in a major sports league final for the fifth time.

This will be the Seahawks second appearance in the Super Bowl/NFL final. The basketball Seattle SuperSonics, now the Oklahoma City Thunder, were in three finals.

In their previous Super Bowl after the 2005 season the Seahawks lost to the favored, albeit, wild card, Pittsburgh Steelers.

The 1979 Sonics won the only Seattle sports championship. They lost in their other two NBA Finals, and in fact the Oklahoma City Thunder lost in their only NBA finals series.

Both the NFC title game teams, the 49ers and Seahawks had lost in the semi final/ championship game round 30 years ago.
