Report: Seahawks to expand CenturyLink Field by 1,000 seats for 2015 season
Kirby Lee / USA TODAY Sports
It's about to get much louder at CenturyLink Field.
The Seattle Seahawks plan to expand their stadium's capacity by 1,000 seats for next season, according to the Seattle Times' Bob Condotta.
Seattle reportedly plans to expand the upper level of the south end zone, and will apparently foot the bill for the $5-million expansion.
The reported project, which will allow the stadium to hold up to 69,500 fans, is part of a larger project called the Toyota Fan Deck.
Upon making two consecutive trips to the Super Bowl, there is a 12,000-person waiting list for Seahawks season tickets.
It's unclear how the expansion will affect CenturyLink Field's other tenant, the MLS's Seattle Sounders FC.
