The Seattle Seahawks are a professional American football franchise based in Seattle, Washington. They are members of the West division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Seahawks joined the NFL in 1976 as an expansion team along with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Seahawks are owned by Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, and are currently coached by Pete Carroll. Since 2002, the Seahawks have played their home games at CenturyLink Field (formerly Qwest Field), located south of downtown Seattle. The Seahawks previously played home games in the Kingdome (1976–1999) and Husky Stadium (1994, 2000–2001). The Seahawks are the only NFL franchise based in the Pacific Northwest region of North America
To begin, the Seattle Seahawks had to go through a lot to become an organization. Just before the Seahawks became a team the NFL began planning to expand from 26 to 28 teams due to the AFL-NFL Merger. On June 15, 1972, a group of Seattle business and community leaders known as the Seattle Professional Football Inc. was started by Herman Sarkowsky and Ned Skinner. Their intention was to acquire an NFL franchise for the Seattle Seahawks. Finally, after all their hard work, the NFL awarded its 28th franchise to Seattle on June 4,

The Green Bay Packers have always had in interesting dynamic with its local city and Brown County, which is the county the franchise resides in. According to the 2010 census, Brown County had a population of 248,007 people, and the City of Green Bay had 104,057 people, which makes it the 139th largest city in the United States (Census). The next smallest city with a professional football team is New Orleans, which is the 51st largest city in the country (Census). The reason the Green Bay Packers are so interesting is because they reside in such a small city, that their influence on Brown County’s economy must be large in comparison. Another reason why I wanted to look at the Packers is because they are the only NFL team that
Although there are many competitive landscapes that can be used to define and associate Ottawa, most notably Parliament Hill and Rideau Hall. This intersection in downtown, is arguable a more definitive example of place in Ottawa and by extension Canada. Even though its kind of hard to define things that associate with Canada, but perhaps the one thing that is universally accepted, is Canadian federalism. The idea of distinct jurisdictions of governmental authority. This is depicted by the flags of all the provinces and territories in the background. It also illustrates that Ottawa belongs to all Canadians, although technically it is in the province of Ontario, it still a unique city where the federal government is very important. The image
. The substantial population growth and urban sprawl of the Central Texas area have amplified the need for reliable transportation. Although nearly everyone would appreciate improvements to public transportation, it is essential for lower-income people who can’t afford cars. Relative to the area’s size, public transportation is considerably lacking, especially routes traveling east-west through Austin and even more so in the suburban counties. Currently, the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Capital Metro) serves the city of Austin and very few surrounding suburbs in Travis and Williamson Counties. Capital Metro provides 50 metro bus routes, 2 MetroRapid route, 8 express routes, and 19 shuttle routes for University of Texas students and has 3,000 bus stops. Capital Metro fares range from $1.25 locally to $3.50 regionally per trip. In 2010, Capital Metro began providing commuter rail service to connect downtown Austin with the northern suburb of Leander in Williamson County. The line operates on 32 miles of track and has 9 stations. Despite this existing public transportation infrastructure, the rapid population growth, much occurring away from the city center, has made it difficult for public transportation services and regional roadways to keep up with anticipated needs of the community, limiting residents’ convenient and timely access to employment

The annual conference of the National Association of Real Estate Editors (NAREE) in Miami recently revealed that Tampa Bay’s real estate market is not only unknown, but also undervalued.

I know you have been eagerly anticipating the announcement regarding the legislation of Uber in our City. I have received a lot of information from the citizens of Winnipeg both in the public and private sector, so it is evident that this topic is on everyone's mind.1 Uber will bring great success to Winnipeg through its convenience, its low costs, and also supply our community with an endless amount of jobs. With this information, I know we can establish a clear path going forward; however, it is imperative that we cooperate together as a city to ensure that Uber is successful. Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa have all seen great success from this company, therefore we have decided that this trend will succeed in our city as well.2 As this service is legal in multiple major cities throughout Canada, it will cause no harm here in our comunity.3
