Lumen Field is a multi-purpose stadium located in Seattle, Washington. Opened in 2002 to replace the Kingdome, Lumen Field has a capacity of almost 70,000 and is the home ground of the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders.
The stadium features a horseshoe-shaped seating layout with a smaller section, affectionately known as the “Hawks’ Nest” occupying the open, north end. This open-end provides spectators with a partial view of the downtown Seattle skyline.
The “Hawks’ Nest” is one of Lumen Fields many interesting features. Visitors entering from the north will also notice the four distinct circles of Bob Haozous’ artwork Earth Dialogue (2002). This artwork is one of 12 projects that were chosen for inclusion in and around Lumen Field and helps to integrate the stadium into the surrounding area.
Atmosphere wise, the stadium is considered one of the best in the U.S. Seahawks fans hold the Guinness World Record for the loudest fan base at an outdoor stadium, whilst the Sounders are known as having one of the best fan bases in the MLS.
Lumen field is one of eleven U.S. venues chosen to host matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
