Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Arrival & transportation

The adjacent Link station is a major advantage, though platforms fill at the final whistle. Letting the first trains clear can create a calmer return trip and more time on the waterfront campus.

02

Mixed

Seat & section strategy

The cantilevered roofs shelter portions of the sideline stands and amplify noise. Upper decks are steep, while end-zone areas trade protection for open lake views.

03

Positive

Event-day character

Boats on Union Bay, the lake backdrop, and a roof-trapped roar create a game day that could only happen in Seattle.

Take Link, select cover versus open-water view intentionally, and bring rain-ready layers even when the forecast looks manageable.
