The last time Green Bay played Seattle, in 2012, replacement referees robbed the Packers of a game-winning interception when they awarded the Seahawks a tug-o’-war touchdown on the last play. Thursday night the Packers and defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks kick off the 2014 NFL season, and we’re showing the game on our bank of large screen TVs.

Stop by for exciting football action and appetizing food and drink specials. Our Five Dollar Football Frenzy includes a 12-ounce Coors Light or Miller Lite and your choice of nachos, tavern fries, garlic fries, mini beef tacos, potato skins, a hot soft pretzel or an all-beef hot dog for $5 plus tax and service charge. 17° South is a great place to watch all the pro and college games all season long. Unlike the replacement refs, we get things right! Kickoff is 5:30 p.m.
