SEATTLE — Seahawks fans’ hopes are high — as high as the Seattle Space Needle — for Saturday’s playoff game against the Carolina Panthers.

Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready raised a 12th Man flag Friday morning from the foggy roof of the 605-foot Seattle landmark.

The flag is 35 feet by 25 feet and will fly through the weekend.

McCready also wore a 12th Man jersey. The 12th Man recognizes the team’s supportive fans who have made CenturyLink Field one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL. (See related story today)
