We won't give your wife a black eye... so you have that going for you

My buddy and myself are going and taking my two college age daughters and another couple.
I must say I am a little worried!
My daughters and myself are planing to wear all of our seahawks gear to the stadium. The couple we are going with have been there before and they cover up going in and out of the stadium.
I think I will take the board advice and bring something to cover us up when leaving as to not invite trouble. I am worried about leaving the stadium as we are going to park 15 mins away to get a faster exit as our flight leaves SF at 7:30 back to Portland.
We get there Saturday morning and will be proudly wearing seahawk gear all weekend also.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Also anybody tailgating? Would love to meet up with other folks.
Go hawks
You should be fine wearing your gear. Bandwagon is strong just like ours, I saw a guy wearing seahawks gear the game last weekend. There is also a guy (Friend of a friend in our group). Who wears seahawks gear every sunday... socks, shorts, shirt, hat, sweat bands... and walks around the tailgate every sunday. He grew up in Seattle area and is a Seahawks fan, but has lived in bay area for 10 years and gained some respect for the niners, so he enjoys going to the games.
In regards to parking park at this dropped pin.
This is a about a 20min walk, maybe 15 if you speed walk. I am a STH for the 49ers and fly up to every home game, and some away games. When I do the Sunday flights (rare), this is where I park my rental. I can speed walk after game, hop in, hop right on the freeway, and just a few miles south of that point is SFO. This parking is also free, and the walk after game is well patrolled by LEO's due to the freeway entrance being there.
If you want to tailgate, then tailgate. If you park where I recommended, then you will enter the tailgate on the south side.
You should be able to find Hawks fans within the first few rows. The last few years we have had barely any (in comparison to other teams). But based on how I've seen them popping up during games the last few weeks, I assume there will be more here this time.
If it feels safer, this route I gave you will take you right to a bridge, and right to the main circular walkway around the stadium. LEO's walk up and down it constantly. You can walk around this looking up and down the lanes for green. I would highly recommend tailgating. I have tailgated at quite a few stadiums. This has the classic tailgate feel. Walking around it kind of gives the vibe of the start of a Steve Sabol film.
EDIT:
Above all, as many have said... be an adult. There are dick heads at every stadium. I have seen them at every stadium and sports venue I visit. I have seen them at Candlestick. Rarely have I seen someone act like a dick towards a visiting fan acting like an adult. In every one of those cases someone, or my self, has intervened. If a visiting fan isn't acting like an adult it is a guarantee you will eventually attract the same.
Oh, almost forgot. If you have LB/LR tickets. Then after entering the stadium (ticket stands), enter the seating area at this pin drop.
They will check your tickets (kind of), but if you take this entrance you can basically walk all the way up to the field and get a really cool view of the field/stadium. Especially for the kids. There are stairs there to enter either direction that you need to go into the seats. Need Lower Reserve or Lower Box tickets to do this.
