Getty Images SportLumen Field was completed in 2002 and originally opened as Seahawks Stadium, serving as the home of the Seattle Seahawks. It was later renamed Qwest Field in 2004, CenturyLink Field in 2011, and eventually became Lumen Field in 2020.
The stadium is well known for its electric atmosphere. Its unique roof design amplifies the noise from home supporters, often making it a challenging environment for visiting teams.
Over the years, Lumen Field has hosted several major events, including top-tier soccer tournaments such as the MLS Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup, and the Copa America Centenario in 2016. It was also chosen as one of the 12 venues for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
In addition to being the home ground for both NFL and MLS teams, the stadium has also welcomed some of the biggest names in music. Artists like Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, The Weekend, Beyonce and more have all performed here in recent years.
