Seahawks coach Pete Carroll had one simple request for those on the team’s staff helping plan the team’s appearance in the first-ever NFL regular season game in Munich, Germany — make it feel as much like home as possible.
So, among the tasks for equipment manager Erik Kennedy in the run-up to Sunday’s game against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was to buy, and have shipped, a basketball hoop.
The Seahawks have hoops in their meeting rooms and practice field in Renton so Carroll at anytime can conduct a team-building competition. The Seahawks also had hoops for their two Super Bowl appearances in Carroll’s tenure.
