I find myself in section 120, I don't imagine Skins will be particularly well represented at this game. Is it a friendly place to go as a visiting fan?
Have a great weekend!
Hey, Skinz...
There are a lot of bars in the stadium area, also known as Pioneer Square and SODO (South Of Downtown), but you'll need to get there early as they'll be packed by 10:30am. I try to arrive no later than 8:30 am so I can park in my favorite spot, have breakfast at FX McRoy on the corner of King and Occidental, then stumble down the street to Sluggers, right across from the stadium, to wash down the food and take in the early games.
I've gone on a number of road trips to several different cities, proudly wearing my Seahawks home blue #12, and I've hung out with scores of individuals from visiting cities at Seahawk home games and have had or seen even a hint of a problem. You'll need to be prepared to be subjected to some good natured ribbing, some group "boos", that sort of thing, but so long as you don't go out looking for a fight, you'll be just fine.
Let us know if you have any other questions relating to your trip. Enjoy your visit to the Great Northwest!
