Lumen Field sits just south of downtown Seattle and is home to the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks and MLS club Seattle Sounders. It hosts concerts and international football, including FIFA World Cup 2026 matches (“Seattle Stadium”). Thanks to light rail right next door, it’s one of the easiest big stadiums in America to reach without a car. This guide covers transit, parking, rideshare, the bag policy and payments.
