29 Sep Qdoba offers “ultimate’ tailgating to Seahawks fans this weekend

Although I know many residents have issues with  sports fans (particularly Seahawks fans) drinking too much and then causing problems in our neighborhood, I am an equal opportunity poster and will still share the news of a big tailgate party for the Seahawks game this weekend:

Qdoba will kick off the NFL season by reviving the spirit of Hawk Heaven and inviting football fans to the best tailgate party in the city – inside the colossal Qdoba tent located in the shadow of CenturyLink Field.

Starting on Sept. 25, the 20-foot Qdoba Ultimate Tailgating Experience can be found in the northwest corner of CenturyLink Field (on Occidental Avenue) at Seahawks home games throughout the season. The tricked-out tent is set to be every football fanatic’s fantasy-it will house four flat screen TVs playing non-stop, pre-game coverage; mobile charging stations to provide a quick power-up for fans’ phones and tablets and, of course, free samples of Qdoba’s signature chips & Queso, in addition to complimentary Coca-Cola® beverages. Upon entering the tent, each fan will also receive a Qdoba Rewards Card, preloaded with free chips & Queso that can be redeemed at any Qdoba Seattle location.

Online, Qdoba is promoting its Ultimate Seahawks Game Day Experience by giving away two lower-level bowl tickets, VIP field access and a free parking pass to one lucky fan each home game this season. Fans can enter to win at Facebook.com/QdobaSeattle.

As a part of the experience, Qdoba is bringing the action to the parking lot and inviting all Seahawks tailgaters to battle, baste and blitz in a bracket-style competition to uncover the best tailgate recipe in Seattle.

Over the course of seven Seahawks home games, tailgating teams will whip up their best dishes in hopes of impressing the Qdoba judges and advancing to the finals. The winning team will have their recipe named Qdoba’s Ultimate Tailgate Dish and be awarded Qdoba catering at their Super Bowl XLVI viewing party.

This year marks the second year for the Qdoba Tailgating Experience and its continued partnership with Beyond Traditional, the alternative advertising, creative and social agency behind the Qdoba brand’s most engaging consumer experiences nationally.

Fans can find the Qdoba Ultimate Tailgating Experience, opening three hours before kick-off, in the northwest corner of CenturyLink Field at the following Seahawks home games:
