Tailgate Guide to Blue Friday at SEA!

Seattle is a sports town that ferociously loves our teams. We rowdily sing soccer chants and proudly wear rain ponchos to the football stadium. Maybe you haven’t washed your baseball jersey since 1995. Perhaps you were one of the 25,000 people that bought hockey season tickets before we had a team.

If so, we want to celebrate Blue Friday with you!

Blue Friday Tailgate at SEA: On Friday, Dec. 6, join SEA Airport to celebrate Blue Friday with local football fans. Airport staff in team colors and jerseys will be sharing treats with passengers who show their team spirit. Look for us in Central Terminal at 11:00 a.m. while supplies last. Blitz will also be in the house for photographs and autographs!

Tailgating is integral to football, and we do not fumble the food at SEA! Read on for football-inspired sips and bites and 12s gear in our SEA Tailgate Guide.

Dilettante Mocha Café, Central Terminal: Located in the heart of the Central Terminal, Dilettante is a sweet oasis for your bustling travel schedule. Stop by for a tasty blue and green football-shaped cookie!

Floret, A Gates: Floret offers fresh, local, vibrant, vegetarian tailgating fare.

• We love the Garden Floret, a house made bloody mary mix, vodka, citrus and pickled vegetables; and Autumn Mule with vodka, spiced apple liqueur, lime, Rachel’s ginger beer, and angostura bitters.
• The Chilaquiles are served as eggs or seasoned tofu scrambled with crispy spiced tortilla chips topped with creamy avocado, corn relish, cotija, lime sour cream, snappy sauce, and served with black beans.
• The Biscuits and Gravy are not to be missed with house made rosemary biscuits and mushroom country gravy.
• A twist on a tailgate classic, the BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich is satisfying jackfruit topped with creamy coleslaw on a soft potato roll. 

The Centurion Lounge at SEA, B Gates: The Centurion Lounge at SEA offers Platinum Card and Centurion Members access to many premium amenities, including a locally-inspired menu, high-speed Wi-Fi, shower suites, and private noise-buffering work stations. The vibrant green and blue cocktail, Team Spirit, gives a nod to Mt. Rainier and Seattle football fans.

Planewear, B Gates: Local and woman-owned Planewear carries aviation-inspired fashion and travel accessories. Don’t miss the 12s SkyBelts, made with real airline seatbelts, or a Pan Am Seattle t-shirt to showoff your hometown team from the road.

Rel’Lish™ Burger Lounge, B Gates: Local Chef Kathy Casey’s Rel’Lish™ Burger Lounge features a variety of unique burgers, stacked high with creative toppings. In addition to more than a half a dozen burger options, travelers can enjoy a variety of tailgate-worthy salads, appetizers, and breakfast offerings. Chef Casey, known for her cocktails, offers a wide selection of hand-crafted drinks and cocktails on tap. There is also an assortment of local craft beer and regional wine.

Seattle Chocolate, C Gates: Made just a few miles from the airport, Seattle Chocolate is the essence of the PNW wrapped into creamy, built-to-share truffles and bars. Stop by to satisfy your sweet tooth with the football collection, illustrated by independent artist Kiwi Gadbow.

Ballard Brew Hall, D Gates: As a full-service bar and restaurant, travelers are invited to tailgate and watch the game on the big screen televisions. Ballard’s menu features fresh ingredients like farmhouse eggs and skillet platters in the morning, to Dungeness crab cakes, pulled pork sandwiches, pan roasted chicken, warming soups, healthy salads, and flatbreads served throughout the day. Sip on craft beers on tap from Pyramid, Elysian, and Mac & Jack's Brewery, just to name a few

Skillet, N Gates: A Seattle icon, Skillet redefined and elevated street food from its original vintage airstream food truck to its restaurants throughout Seattle, including SEA’s N Gates. The menu is built from locally-sourced ingredients with comfort food that is approachable and delicious. Passengers love the fried chicken sammy, hand-formed burgers, avocado breakfast burrito, kale caesar, and chicken and waffles. Take a break with local beers and a full bar serving the ever-popular bacon jam bloody mary.

Stop by any of these eateries for a taste bud touchdown. Go Hawks!
