Oh, you sweet summer child. Postseason games have no fixed schedule. The NFL announces them about six days before. It’s like they want us to suffer. Preseason games? Those are even more random. They start at 7:00 PM some nights, 6:00 PM others. It’s a free-for-all. Just check the Seahawks official social media. They care about you. The NFL corporate office might not.
And don’t get me started on weather delays. If it’s raining sideways in Seattle (which is, let’s face it, always), the game starts at the same time. The players just get wetter. You stay dry. Win-win.
A personal tip from a fellow fan
I set a recurring alarm on my phone for two hours before kickoff. Why? Because that’s when I need to start the grill, find my lucky jersey, and negotiate with my cat for the good spot on the couch. If you’re heading to a bar or a friend’s house, add travel time. Nothing kills a vibe like walking in during a field goal.
Also, if you’re hosting, lie about the start time to your guests. Tell them it’s 30 minutes earlier than it is. They’ll show up on time, you’ll have smug grin, and everyone wins. This is the way.
