The Tanzania Effect!!!

 Tony Ventrella goes looking for answers behind the success of the Seattle sports teams at CenturyLink Field this season and as he comes to find out there is a connection to the new Tanzania murals in the North end of the stadium.

 Ever since the Tanzania ads have been plastering the walls of the CLink this year there has only been one [football] loss by a Seattle Sports team (UW, yesterday).

For statistical clarity, the Sounders have won four times since Tanzania’s arrival (with wins over Los Angeles, Vancouver, Chivas USA, and Portland), the Huskies thrice (San Diego State, Portland State, and Stanford), and the Seahawks five times (preseason wins over Tennessee and Oakland, regular season victories over Dallas, Green Bay, and New England).
