Finally! Something Fun To Do On New Year's Eve & New Year's Day
Two opening kickoffs will take place at Seattle's Lumen Field on New Year's Eve.
Inside the stadium, the Seahawks will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Once that game concludes (roughly 4:30 pm), the "Enterprise NHL Fan Village" will open at Lumen Field's outdoor North Lot.
On Sunday, the festival will run until 8 pm. It will reopen on New Year's day Monday, both before and after the 12 noon NHL Winter Classic game at T-Mobile Park between the Seattle Kraken and Vegas Golden Knights.
