This year’s Apple Cup — the famous annual showdown between UW + WSU — is taking place at Lumen Field on Saturday, Sept. 14 with a 12:30 p.m. kick off.

Tickets are still on sale, but you can also get a full experience at these Pioneer Square businesses with special deals + watch parties just steps away from the stadium (yes, game faces are required):

Want something closer to home? Both UW and WSU have created lists of watch parties across the country.
