It’s been ten years since I made the move from New Jersey to Ridgefield, and while my heart still bleeds Big Blue (Go Giants!), living in the Pacific Northwest has taught me one thing: the energy of the 12th Man is undeniable. But this year, it’s personal. Our Seattle Seahawks are taking on the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026. As a Giants fan, my hatred for the Patriots is practically in my DNA, so consider me a Seahawk for the day.
If you’re wondering, “where can I watch the Super Bowl near me?” and you happen to be in Ridgefield, Woodland, La Center, or Kalama, you are in luck. We have some of the best seats in the house right here in our backyard.
Ridgefield: The Epicenter of the 12th Man
If you want the ultimate “stadium” feel without the flight to Santa Clara, Ridgefield is the place to be.
-
Tom’s Watch Bar at ilani: This is the heavyweight champion of viewing venues. With over 50 HD screens and a 360-degree viewing experience, you won’t miss a single second of the Hawks crushing the Pats.
-
Playmakers Sports Bar + Grill: For a more local, “fans become friends” vibe, head over to Settler Drive. They have 60+ TVs and a “Fido & Family Friendly” atmosphere, so you can bring the whole crew (even the four-legged 12s).
-
The Sportsman’s Public House: A staple of our downtown core. While they are a key part of the “Books & Bowls” community event on Saturday, Feb 7, they are a fantastic spot to grab a burger and watch the game on Sunday.
Woodland: Tech-Savvy and Family Friendly
Just a quick hop north on I-5, Woodland offers a great mix of traditional and modern viewing.
-
Oak Tree Restaurant: Looking for a spot where the kids won’t get bored? The Oak Tree has a “cozy-meets-modern” vibe and even features a robot server to deliver your game-day snacks.
-
Woodland North Bound Taphouse: If your idea of the perfect Super Bowl involves a massive selection of local craft beers, this is your spot.
Kalama: The “Superb Owl” Experience
McMenamins Kalama Harbor Lodge (Cove Bar): For something a bit more aesthetic, the Cove Bar is hosting their “Superb Owl Game Day” from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
La Center: High Stakes and High Energy
Last Frontier & New Phoenix Casinos: If you like a side of cards with your football, La Center’s casinos are regional favorites. The Last Frontier often runs high-hand promotions during big sports weekends, making it a high-energy environment for the game.
