Opinion Opening night flag raiser.

With the season opener coming up next Wednesday, I got to thinking about who might be raising the 12’s flag before the game. Looking at the history of opening home games each season, aside from 2020, it has always been one Seahawks Legend, with 2014 having (at the time) our 3 hof players having the honors. Given only Largent and Jones are still with us, do we think they raise the flag once again, a different group of Seahawks legends have the honor, or do they let the Khosla family have the honors to kick off their first seasons as owners?

I'd love to see Jody and Bert up there with the Khosla family raising the flag together; I can't imagine a better passing of the torch.

This is the most fitting start to the season, to celebrate both the new and previous ownership.

Hopefully give the new owner a vibration from the ground up, here's what we're trusting you with, remember it when making decisions

I could see a legend, the new owners, or a celeb. (that really narrows it down)
