Big Game

Airports, governors place bets on the Big Game

Sports, ,

Lots of people have placed lots of bets on the outcome of the Big Game on Sunday, February 8, between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots.

That includes the officials at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and governors of Washington and Massachusetts.

Here is what’s on the line.

SEA airport vs. BOS airport wager

Officials from the Port of Seattle, which operates SEA Airport, have thrown down a ‘friendly wager’ with their counterparts at Massport, which operates Boston Logan International Airport.

The bet: whoever loses must sport the other team’s jersey for a day AND send some of the airport’s finest treats to the the winning airport.

 

Bets by the governors of Massachusetts & Washington State

If the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots, then Massachusetts Governor, Maura Healey, and Legal Sea Foods will be sending Washington Governor Bob Ferguson two live Maine lobsters, New England clam chowder, a curated selection of East Coast oysters, and classic lobster rolls.

But if the Patriots claim victory, Washington’s governor will be sending a surprise package of Northwest shellfish and coffee back east.
