Looking at the Seahawks’ Road Schedule for 2015
The Seattle Seahawks have the 4th toughest schedule in the 2015 season, but I wanted to explore how tough the road will be for them this season. The Seahawks will have the pleasure of facing the AFC and NFC North this year, the AFC North is the only division Russell Wilson has yet to face since entering the league in 2012.

The Seahawks probably get most criticized when it comes to traveling on the road, but did you know in the Pete Carroll era the Seahawks
are 10-6 in the East coast out scoring opponents 355-262, including the postseason. I believe it’s a good idea to drop “the Seahawks can’t win on the road” nonsense.
Last years offseason I had four venues circled that the Seahawks had to travel to and were going to be tough to walk away with a victory. Those stadiums included, FedEx Field, Lincoln Financial Field, Levi’s Stadium and Arrowhead Stadium.
Arrowhead Stadium
Recent $375 million renovations in 2010 have upgraded the look and feel of the fifth largest building in the NFL, making it one of the best places to watch a game. It holds a capacity of 76,416. Kansas City fans are as passionate as they come and as ridiculous as it sounds, they currently hold the record for loudest stadium reaching decibels of 142.2.
Levi’s Stadium
The NFL’s newest stadium that holds a capacity of 68,500 and places two‐thirds of the fans in the lower bowl, which is one of the largest of its kind in the entire NFL. With the Seahawks and the San Fransisco 49ers rivalry, this stadium will always be a hostile environment for the Seahawks.
Lincoln Financial Field
Philadelphia Eagles fans, the fans are as intense as anywhere in the nation — sometimes, too intense. A fan base that boo’ed Donovan McNabb when drafted by the team. The stadium holds a capacity 68,532.
FedEx Field
FedEx Field is the largest stadium in the NFL, it holds a capacity of 85,000. The same stadium that Chris Clemons tore his ACL in the 2012 Wild Card game with questionable field conditions.
The Seahawks went 3-1 last year at those venues with their only loss at Arrowhead. So this year I will be ranking the 2015 “Seahawks road to success” games from easiest to toughest.
