Welcome to Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS — The ’Hawks have landed.

After a three-hour flight from Seattle to Minneapolis, the team charter touched down in Minnesota around 6 p.m. The Seahawks then bused to their hotel, where they’ll begin their usual eve-of-game meetings at 8:30 p.m. Central.

Less than 24 hours until kickoff of Saturday night’s Seahawks-Vikings game at the Metrodome.
