Football fans headed to the big game this weekend can catch a Seahawksgame shuttle on Sunday, Dec. 30.

King County Metro Transit operates the shuttles, which require cash fare and leave specific park-and-ride locations about two hours before kickoff. Shuttles return to those park-and-rides after the game. Travelers in the SODO, Pioneer Square and downtown Seattle areas can expect traffic congestion and delays before and after Seahawks games and other stadium events.
