+1 on the one game playoff

Game 7 in 1978 might be the most important game ever in the city.

The 1984 Seahawks never get any love, but RaiderBuster Monday is probably the biggest regular season game in team history, and the 1984 Wild Card against the defending champs was amazing. Still the loudest sporting event I have ever attended. #DrDanFromWapato #DomeLouderThanClink.

And I know there are a lot of hipsters on this bored who think it is important to care enough about soccer to tell people they don't like soccer, but the '77 Soccer Bowl against Pele and Beckenbauer needs to be near the top of the list. Seattle sports in 77 were much different than in 79, and the Sounders started that.

The three Final Fours were big, but none involved a Seattle team.
