Planning

How to plan the trip

The order that saves the most money and the most stress.

  • Lock the date first. Kickoff windows move, dates rarely do.
  • Book refundable lodging before buying tickets, because rooms sell out faster than seats.
  • Compare seat locations, not just price. Shade, wind and aisle access matter more than a few rows.
  • Confirm the venue bag policy and payment rules before you leave the hotel.
  • Plan the exit. Rideshare pickup zones are usually several blocks from the gates.

The venue

Lake Washington on one side, mountains on the other, and covered seating on both sidelines.

  • Sailgating by boat is real; the Link light rail station is the practical version.
  • Covered sideline seats are worth the premium in October and November.
