As part of its partnership with the Seattle Seahawks, American Express is bringing one-of-a-kind experiences, such as Hawks Island, to the 12s! Returning for the second year, Hawks Island is the ultimate gameday experience that includes special appearances from Seahawks legends, pre-game party activities, and premium food and beverages from some of Seattle’s favorite eateries. It all takes place on a 200-foot+ barge (the length of over two basketball courts) off of Pier 66 in the Puget Sound.

As you can see in last year’s pictures, it was a bit grey and rainy, but people still came out in force. Maybe we’ll get some sunshine at this year’s event—it’s too soon to tell. Either way, it’s a unique and special pre-game experience whether you’re going to the game, watching at a sports bar, or at home.
