The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN) installed an array of seismometers (equipment that visualizes shaking as waves) at several stations throughout the stadium, in anticipation of the tremors that Seahawks followers have become famous for generating.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday will hear a significant case about the level of education support disabled children must receive in the public school system.
