You might want to take advantage of the service while you still can. The Seattle Department of Transportation notes in its news release:
There is currently a lawsuit in federal courts that could affect whether Metro can provide this service for the entire football season. The hearing on that challenge is expected to resume in late September. If Metro is unable to complete the season, the teams will make a decision about ongoing transportation services to the games.
