The next few weeks are the biggest of the year for football fans and friends of football fans, so give them the right of way on Sunday.
This weekend is the Conference Championships (aka NFL’s Final 4) starting with Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks, home to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in the NFC title game. Kick off at noon.
Then at 3:40 p.m. the AFC Championship has Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts versus Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Winners advance to the Super Bowl in Arizona on February 1.
The defending Super Bowl champs from Seattle have kept their great fans smiling in the Pacific Northwest all season with their exciting play and ‘never say die’ attitude. If you are lucky enough to have tickets on Sunday and are heading down the I-5 to Century Link Field, you must be stoked. For those who can’t make it down…we have put together a list of 12 places for you to watch the games.
