  Geekwire reports over 500 drones were part of this massive fly-in, to salute their fan base, the "12's."  According to Geekwire:

"More than 500 drones assembled in sky-high formation in Seattle to show off the classic Seahawks logo, the Kingdome, a 12 jersey, Marshawn Lynch’s “Beast Quake” touchdown, the Legion of Boom, Richard Sherman’s famous tip against the 49ers, and more."

While not showing a ton of footage, the NBC announcers referenced the salute to the fans after they returned to play-b- play following halftime. The coordination to get the drones in place was massive and it went off without a hitch.

For many in attendance, it was probably the highlight of their evening as the 'Hawks dropped a 30-13 decision to the Packers.

This is not new to Seattle, the Mariners have had a few theme-nights featuring drones at games at T-Mobile Park.
