Verizon’s Presence at The Game Go Seahawks! #VZWBuzz #MoreSeattle

November 11, 2014 by Momstart Leave a Comment

I received tickets to the game along with some Verizon swag in exchange for this partnered post, all opinions are my own.

This past weekend was my very first time to visit CenturyLink Field in Seattle. Well, that’s not true, I visited it once last year with Toyota but this was my first time to ever see a professional NFL football live. Oh wow, next time my husband asks if he can buy season tickets I might say yes. (if it was a dream world and they weren’t so expensive and the waiting list wasn’t FOREVER long). Our stadium is pretty much completely sold out all the time because of how many season ticket holders there are. The best way to get tickets is on Stub Hub which is what Verizon did to get us the best tickets ever. We sat in the Charter section and it was just barely covered from the rain.

Now about how Verizon is involved at the stadium. So there is this building across from the stadium, actually it’s attached to the stadium, it’s called The Event Center. Inside there before the game is a building full of pre-game activities. There are big screens everywhere, beer, games for the kids and brands showcasing their products. That’s what Verizon does. Verizon has new products to show you and they have chances for you to win prizes.

They also have the opportunity for you to take a twelfie, I can’t access mine because it doesn’t work for Windows Phone, but if you have an iPhone or an Android you’re in luck. And you can also get a digital autographed photo with one of the Seahwaks. It’s pretty cool and you are entered to win I think on Sunday they were giving away a Galaxy Tablet. Verizon also provides free WiFi at the game so stay connected and share your game fun. If you’re battery gets low they have charging stations for you to enjoy.

My kids had fun hanging out and playing games on the phones. Zoe said that Frozen was loaded onto one of the phones.

Tour of The Seahawks CenturyLink Field With The Nokia Icon #VZWBuzz #LetsGoPlaces

A few weeks ago I was invited to a media event sponsored by Toyota. There I meat with the execs and talked about how their review program works and they also gave us a tour of the CenturyLink Field home to the Seattle Sounders and the Seattle Seahawks.

During this tour, I used my new phone that Verizon gave me to review: The Nokia Icon and it’s known for it’s amazing photos and operating speed. It’s a super fast fully integrated WIndows Phone and what I mean by that is that I can now do all of my social media needs for work on a Windows Phone. The apps I need are there, the only one missing is Candy Crush and guess what? That just increased my productivity.

The Tour of CenturyLink field reminded me of marching band in high school. There is something really amazing about walking down that same path that the football team uses when they enter the field before the game starts. We saw the press booth, which by the way Seattle has the best press booth out of all the stadiums. The Press Box is on the same level as all of the VIP booths and you get free food and drinks and free admission. I was told that Seattle’s press box is the only free press box in the NFL. I haven’t verified that fact.

We were also allowed to walk through the locker room of the Seahawks. I took a photo of quite a few different lockers, but I had to share that even in the off season Marshawn Lynch’s locker is full of skittles.

The candy brand announced on Tuesday January 28th a formal deal with the Seattle Seahawks running back, whose relationship with the product dates to when his mother started giving him what she called "power pellets" in his Pop Warner playing days.

There is even now a Seattle Skittles package:

I had my picture taken as if I was a victor from the field and was being interviewed by the press.

I’m really amazed though at the quality this camera has with night shots. I love how the light was reflected in this photo of CenturyLink Field from the VIP level.

This is a picture of a 12th man flag that has been signed and is used as good luck before each game. The players tap the 12th man flag as they are walking down the hallway to enter the field for the game.

I had a great time learning more about my local football team. I will cherish the photos that were taken on my Nokia Icon for quite a while thanks to the automatic upload to my skydrive account, I can go ahead and let my husband have my Icon. He’s been drooling over it since Verizon sent it to me to review.
