On Sunday, the Seahawks will face off against the Atlanta Falcons in an early game at 10 a.m. While not the ideal time to drink, certainly, many Ballard bars and venues have the good grace of opening up on time for you to watch the Seahawks (hopefully) win.

So, whether you're a long-time, diehard Seahawks fan, an excited Seattleite jumping on the bandwagon (welcome!), or someone who just needs some company on Sunday, there is a place for you on Sunday.

See below for a list of some places that will be open. If you know of more, please let us know at zachb@robinsonnews.com

Ballard Loft - It will be Ballard Loft's five-year anniversary weekend, so not only will you be able to celebrate the Seahawks, but you will be able to celebrate the Loft's birthday with $5 drink specials. Owners say they will have a full brunch menu and a tailgate party with heat and a 70-inch screen on the patio. (5105 Ballard Ave NW)

Ballard Station - Never one to miss a game, the Ballard Station will be open early at 9 a.m. Via Facebook, they say to come early to get plenty of "pre-game" fun. We're sure they mean breakfast, but we won't judge. (2236 NW Market St)
