I believe you are wrong. It is a Coug game, and the Seahawks don't play with that logo on the field. I am a Seahawk season ticket holder and have been to every game at Seahawks stadium and Qwest field. The one reason I think that you are wrong is the name of the Stadium. The naming rights were awwarded to Qwest in June of 2004, and the name change happened by the 21st of August of 2004. So if this game took place in Sept of 04, the name on the roof would have said Qwest Field, not Seahawks stadium.

Try, Try again.

This game in Seahawks Stadium (now Qwest Field) is Washington State vs. Nevada.
Played 8/31/2002.
If you go to the space needle it is gold.
The space needle was painted gold in 2002 for the 40th Anniversary.
It was only gold in 2002. Unless you count when it was originally painted.

The space needle is almost 2 miles away and would more than likely have been captured on a different day. Go to layers and click Digital Globe Coverage and you will see the dates of various images.

Well, I have actually nailed this down to one play.

It is during the August 31, 2002 WSU game against Nevada. The score at the time of this play is tied at 7.

Washington State has the ball with a First down on the 3 yard line with 11:37 remaining in the second quarter. The play will be a 3 yard rush by John Tippins (#25). It is literally the only play in the game that would be at this location, with these teams aranged as they are.

Evidence:
1) The game was in 2002 or 2003, the stadium was repainted in 2004 as "Qwest Field" before any game was played there.
2) In the two games that WSU played there in that time frame, WSU played with white jerseys against Nevada's dark blue, and with (very) red Crimson jerseys against Idaho's white. There are no Crimson jerseys on the field of this play, just white and a dark blue or black.
3) Digital layers do not give any date that match the possibilities, but the Space Needle was definitely shot between August 30 and September 2, 2002. This is evidenced by the Bumbershoot Arts and Music Festival taking place near and around the Needle, as well as the orange top. The Idaho game took place during Bumbershoot as well, but not while the Needle had an orange top. Too coincidental to dismiss.
4) WSU is on its own 3 yard line, and in formation before the start of a play. It only started one play on its own 3 yard line. In the Idaho game (where THEY wore the white jerseys), the Vandals never started a play on their own 3 yard line.

Anyhow... Go Cougs!

I can't find a picture of the play (yet), but I'm sure it's out there...

OK, Guys - who were the Seattle Seahawks playing, and what was the final score?

First correct post, showing proofs, will earn the honorary title of Grand Google Wizard, or somesuch.

What sport is that?

What I would really like is a clue to how to find it without a clue.

American Football. We don't watch the other kind, no matter how much they pay Beckham.

Oh, yeah, the final score was Washington State Cougars 31, Nevada Wolfpack 7

They also nailed the Oregon vs. Stanford game at Autzen Stadium on 9-2-06. Looks like it was right at the start of the game as the band is lined up on the field at the mouth of the tunnel.
