Introduction

CenturyLink Field (now Lumen Field) is the shared home of the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders, opened in 2002 with a capacity of about 70,000. The stadium is famed as the world loudest venue, having set a Guinness noise record, with a giant canopy reflecting crowd roar back onto the field to create the intimidating 12th-man home atmosphere. The horseshoe design opens to the north for views of the Seattle skyline and Mount Rainier. Inside are the Sounders MLS home, multiple restaurants, and local craft-beer bars, making the stadium a key symbol of Seattle sports culture and civic identity, with game-day blue-and-green spirit across the city highly contagious.
