INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (KESQ) -- Super Bowl LX between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots is just days away.

The Lewis family is one of them.

Bill and Ann Marie Lewis live in Walla Walla but spend the season here in Indian Wells.

Bill's been a Seahawks fan since the late 1970's and has been season-ticket holder for 30 years.

Proud to be part of the "12th Man," the Lewis' went to both playoff games in Seattle, where they said the atmosphere and experience was incredible.

But for the Super Bowl this Sunday, they're staying home. In fact, the party is at their house.

"He told me, set up a table outside for the talkers because I want to watch the game. So I want to make sure no one's talking during the game. And I said, well, I don't know if we should have a party if you don't want anyone talking, said Ann Marie Lewis.

"I love it. Just absolutely love it. We went to the last two games up in Seattle and the Sahawks have always been the team for me. So it's gonna be a good game and I think it's gonna be won by the Seahawks," said Bill Lewis.

Super Bowl LX is set for Sunday, Feb. 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30pm local time.
