Coming to my first game from the UK

[UKDave]

:greetingsearthling: My wife's just handed my flight details and match tickets for the 49ers game 29th December as a birthday gift.
I'm after as much information and things to do around game day to help make this even better, if that is possible.
Any tips on bars/restaurants around Seattle would also be welcome. We're staying in the downtown area.
Looking forward to meeting the hawks family.

South Wales now, from Gloucester, and been following since the hawks since the early 90's. Now counting down the days until my flight from Heathrow and hoping my 19 year old hawks jersey doesnt fall apart before then.

We're staying Cardiff for a few nights as part of the trip.

ID when getting alcohol is a thing in Seattle. As a previous U.K. Visitor to the CLink, don't get upset if a bar in the stadium refuses you beer because they don't recognise UK/EU drivers licences - just thank them and go to the next bar along the concourse. Some staff are aware of UK/EU licences, some aren't. Just find one that's cool with that form of ID and you're good. I'll think of something more useful tomorrow!

You have a good wife.
My wife and I visited the UK for the Seahawks-Raiders blowout and had a blast.
There is plenty of good information on the net.
Game day experience is special in sports.
Dress for the weather.
