A Legacy Worth Honoring
From Paul Allen's civic rescue in 1997 to Jody Allen's championship stewardship, the Seahawks have always been more than a football team — they've been Seattle's heartbeat. As the franchise changes hands, this is the legacy that matters.
A Civic Duty Purchase
In 1997, Paul Allen purchased the Seahawks for $194 million — not as an investment, but out of civic duty to keep the team in Seattle when relocation to Los Angeles loomed. He co-founded Vulcan Inc., the Allen Institute, and poured over $1 billion into charitable work. His will directs that all sale proceeds go to philanthropy.
Jody Allen's Quiet Leadership
When Paul Allen passed away in October 2018, his sister Jody stepped in as trustee and Chair of the Seahawks — one of only about a dozen women in controlling or significant NFL ownership roles. Her path was distinctive: not through marriage, but through a sibling relationship and fiduciary responsibility. She leads with a deliberate, hands-off style, letting the football people run the football.
The Hard Calls That Won the Super Bowl This Year
Jody Allen made the difficult decision to transition from Pete Carroll and entrusted the franchise to Mike Macdonald, who led the team to a 14-3 season. That courage and judgment culminated in a Super Bowl LX victory on February 8, 2026 — Seahawks 29, Patriots 13 — the crowning achievement of her stewardship.
A Legacy Beyond Football
Jody Allen is a quiet philanthropist whose impact extends far beyond the field. She serves as a founding director of MoPOP, co-founded the Wild Lives Foundation for wildlife conservation, and oversees Allen Family Philanthropies. Her leadership reminds us that ownership can be about stewardship and community — not just profit.
Why This Moment Matters
The Seahawks sale represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity. We believe the next chapter should honor the Allen family's commitment to Seattle — civic-minded ownership, female leadership in the front office, and deep roots in the community. That's what we're advocating for.
How Fan Ownership Works
In August 2024, the NFL approved rules allowing private equity funds to acquire up to 10% passive stakes in teams. Here's how we envision a fan ownership path.
Show Your Interest
We're not collecting money — just gauging interest. Add your email to show you believe in community ownership. The more fans who express interest, the stronger our case to potential buyers: the 12s want a seat at the table.
Explore a Fan Fund
We're researching how to work with legal and financial experts to structure an NFL-compliant PE fund that could allow everyday fans to invest — with the goal of keeping the entry point accessible.
A Stake in the Team
If successful, a fan fund could acquire a minority ownership stake in the franchise. The vision: real equity for fan investors, meaningful governance protections, and a lasting voice in the Seahawks' future.
