Get Ready for the Big Game: Patriots vs Seahawks
Good news: the Patriots and the Seahawks are set to face off this Sunday, and you know what that means. Whether you’re a die-hard fan, a casual watcher, or just in it for the food, the commercials, and the half-time banter, the big game has a way of taking over the whole day. Plans get locked in early, couches get claimed, group chats start buzzing, and by the time kickoff hits, no one wants to be anywhere but where the screen is.
That’s exactly why this Sunday isn’t the day to realize you forgot something.
If you’re planning to watch the big game, don’t wait until the last minute to make a move. Come into Stoops before kickoff, grab what you need, and settle in. Waiting usually means missing out on the good stuff or running out halfway through the action — and nobody wants that.
Why the Big Game Is a Stock-Up Day
The big game is not a casual watch. Even if you tell yourself you’re just “glancing at the score,” the pull of the screen is real. Pregame hype. Friends arriving early. Half-time debates. By the time the third quarter rolls around, there’s no pausing, no running out, and definitely no forgetting what you walked in for.
This is one of those moments where having everything handled ahead of time makes the whole experience smoother. You don’t want to be counting pulls by halftime or realizing too late that you should’ve grabbed something stronger, lighter, or different depending on how the matchup is going.
Planning ahead lets you actually enjoy the day instead of stressing about missing something.
What to Grab if You’re Hosting
If people are coming over — great. That’s part of what the big game weekend is all about. But hosting means trying to keep the vibe relaxed while still making sure everyone has what they want. Different tolerances and different moods mean variety helps.
Before kickoff is the time to:
• Grab multiple formats (vape, flower, edibles)
• Pick up strains that are easy to share
• Get lighter options for people who prefer mild evenings
• Load up on heavier stuff for later in the night
Stocking up before the game means you can focus on the food, the sound, and the feel of the room instead of three separate runs to the shop.
What to Grab If You’re Watching at Home
Watching solo or with a friend is a different kind of vibe, and that’s just fine. When it’s just you, or you and a partner/roommate, the big game becomes something you settle into slowly, savoring every moment from kickoff to overtime debates.
Think about how you watch:
Do you sit close and focused?
Do you drift between the screen and your phone?
Do you want something to elevate the moment or something to mellow out with?
Picking the right product before kickoff means you get to experience the whole game without interruptions.
Timing Matters
The biggest mistake people make is waiting. Once Sunday afternoon hits, everyone has the same idea. Lines get longer. Shelves thin out. By the time kickoff is near, the options are either gone or nowhere near what you wanted in the first place.
Stoops has you covered—but earlier is better. Come through with plenty of time to browse, ask questions, and actually choose what fits your night instead of grabbing the first thing left on the shelf.
Show up early, get what you want, and be home before the pregame hype turns into play calls.
Make the Second Half Better Than the First
Game day energy changes over time. What you wanted early might not be what you want later. That’s why it’s smart to plan for the whole experience.
Have something for:
• Pre-game excitement
• Mid-game focus
• Post-game chill
Getting the right lineup means you enjoy every quarter instead of wishing you had something different halfway through.
Don’t Forget About Monday
After the big game is Sunday — Monday still exists. Whether you’re heading into the week tired, social, reflective, or just trying to keep the good feels going, what you pick now affects how you feel later.
Stock products that help you enjoy the moment without wrecking everything the next day. The goal is to feel good throughout the whole evening and still be able to function Monday morning.
Final Reminder Before Kickoff
The big game — Patriots vs Seahawks — only happens once, and the time to prepare is now. If you know you’re watching, don’t wait. Stop by Stoops before kickoff, grab what you want, and set yourself up for a smooth, stress-free Sunday that actually feels like game day.
Once kickoff hits, the only thing you should be thinking about is the play on the screen — not what you forgot to pick up.
Get in, get ready, and enjoy the big game the right way.
