Kennewick couple in running for top Seahawks fans

By the Herald staff

A Kennewick couple may not have season tickets to Seattle Seahawks, but they hope to be the football team's ultimate fans.

Brandon and Carla Baker are among 10 finalists competing for that honor -- and the ultimate prize of appearing in a Budweiser beer commercial.

Brandon Baker said they try to get tickets to Seahawks games three or four times a year. And when they attended this year's season opener against the Oakland Raiders, they mugged for the camera in hopes of winning tickets to another game.

Judges narrowed the choices to 10 and the public votes for the favorite. The winners will get tickets to an upcoming game and may get featured in a Bud Light commercial.

The Bakers are No. 5.
