One end of ours is three feet deep and that seems alright for this area. We'll get a couple of inches of ice on the surface from time to time but it's never frozen solid. Further north and that would be problematic.<br /><br />You also need to keep the water oxygenated and have some open water (not frozen) to allow gas build ups in the water to get out.<br /><br />But they do okay.

I still maintain a soft spot for them.<br /><br />For a team to become hated, they need to win a Super Bowl. Of course, having met the Seahawks last year in the big game, what Bronco fan could have any love for your beloved 'Hawks.<br /><br />As for me, I think the Seahawks have one of the best stadiums in football. And one of the best fan bases as well.<br /><br />(I remember when the Seahawks were in the old AFC West.
