A look at some memorable moments in Seahawks history that occurred on April 25:
1997:The Washington State Legislature passes the stadium-funding plan – Referendum 48 – for what would become Seahawks Stadium and is now CenturyLink Field. It is the next step necessary for Paul Allen to complete his purchase of the franchise from Ken Behring.
1991: Chuck Knox signs a two-year contract extension through 1993, but the '91 season would be his ninth and final with the Seahawks as the extension includes a buyout clause. Knox would return to the Rams from 1992-94, after coaching the team from 1973-77.
1993: Rick Mirer is selected with the second overall pick in the NFL Draft. Following a productive rookie season when he started all 16 games and passed for 2,833 yards, Mirer would start 35 games over the next three seasons before being traded to the Bears in 1997.
2008: Mike Holmgren wins the Horrigan Award, which is presented annually to the NFL executive who helps the media do its job. Having not won the award had become a running joke with the team's coach and reporters who covered the Seahawks.
2009:Aaron Curry is selected with the fourth pick overall in the NFL Draft. Hailed as the "safest pick" in that year's draft class, Curry would start 30 games at linebacker before being traded to the Raiders during the 2012 season.
