The Seahawks are urging fans to arrive early for Thursday’s preseason game against the Oakland Raiders.

Fans can expect additional traffic and congestion due to road construction.

Gates at Touchdown City, located in the Qwest Field Event Center, open at 4 p.m. Other gates open at 5 p.m. for the 7 p.m. kickoff.

The Seahawks have special offers going on at Touchdown City from 4-6 p.m. to encourage early arrival: the Seahawks merchandise both will offer 20 percent savings and the ‘Beat the Traffic and the Raiders’ meal (one hot dog and one bottle of Jones Soda) for $5.
