About the Stadium

Home of both the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and MLS's Seattle Sounders, Lumen Field is known for its incredibly loud atmosphere driven by the famous '12th Man' fan culture. The 68,740-capacity stadium sits in the SoDo (South of Downtown) district, a short walk from Pioneer Square and the waterfront. Seattle's outstanding light rail connection makes it one of the most transit-accessible venues in the tournament, and the city's natural beauty — mountains, water, forests — makes it an ideal base.

Getting There

🟢 Great transit

By Link Light Rail (best in class): Sound Transit 1 Line stops directly at Stadium station, adjacent to the gates. From downtown Seattle, 5 min. From SEA airport, 37 min — one train, no transfers. Day pass under $6. By car: I-5 to I-90 interchange — SoDo exits. Parking is available but transit is so good there's little reason to drive. Sounder Train: From Tacoma, 55 min to King Street Station (4 blocks from stadium).

Transit options

● Link Light Rail — Stadium station (adjacent, 2 min walk)
● King County Metro buses on match days
● Sounder commuter rail from Tacoma to King Street Station (4 blocks)

🚗 Parking info

Thousands of nearby garage spaces in SoDo district. $25–$60. The area has the best transit access in the USA — driving is actively discouraged by stadium.

Local Tips

● The CenturyLink effect: Lumen Field is one of the loudest outdoor stadiums in the world
● Seattle weather in June: mild and usually dry (17–22°C), though bring a layer for evening
● Link Light Rail is genuinely excellent — use it from the airport
● Seattle is very walkable; Pioneer Square and the waterfront are steps from the stadium
