Love coming here. Whether it's the Seahawks or the sounders, this place rocks! Literally! They…read moreengineered this place to be loud. Getting here is a breeze too. They have a nice parking garage but I prefer taking the link in. North side of the stadium you'd take the International District stop. If you want the south side of the stadium, then Stadium is the best stop. Food and beverage options here are decent. They're optimized for crowds too with those Amazon markets where you just walk out. Seattle dogs are my staple now but they have all your stadium favorites and generally lines aren't too bad since they have a lot of options. I've attended events in lots of areas of the stadium including suites, end zones, upper and lower decks. I'd say it's a fun environment wherever you sit. It does get loud though. Bring earplugs for those sensitive to loud noises. The suites shield you from much of that though. Getting around in the stadium is fairly effortless too. The pro shop on the ground floor is the most congested. The line moves pretty fast though. There are also large ramps like the Olympic ramp that you can walk up and down floors too. Overall, any chance I get to come here I generally take advantage of since it's easy to get to and I like this environment. Have fun!

For a big stadium pop/folk show like Ed Sheeran's LOOP Tour, built on looping, live layering, and…read morehuge sing-alongs, Lumen Field delivered the goods. Scale, energy, and that classic Pacific Northwest night under the arches. When the crowd is locked in and the songs are big enough to fill the place, it really shines. That said, the acoustics aren't great for quieter or more nuanced moments (stadium echo is real here), and getting in and out can be a pain, especially by transit. The light-rail mess after this show didn't help. If you care more about atmosphere and hits than perfect sound, you'll leave happy. If you're sensitive to echo or prefer intimate acoustics, maybe stick to smaller venues. Sheeran keeps coming back for a reason though--this place works for his style of stadium intimacy, even if it's not a sonic paradise.

CONNECTED TO THE HUSKY STADIUM…read more ... for those inquiring location coordinates. it's hard to find because it's connected to the UW Husky Stadium. Some of us Alumni got lost walking around in wet weather in expensive formal attire. I went to this University and knew this campus like the back of my hand but as an Alumni there's so many new development the campus has changed, just like the rest of Seattle, it's become unrecognizable - for the better! EVENT. This place is an event space and the UW 100 Years Rising Up Gala was held here. Although this was a Gala, I referred to this event as the UW FASA Officers Alumni Reunion. Amazing to see friends I've stomped and organized events on campus with 15+ yrs ago hustling on budget. SPACE. Nice view, spacious (enough), bar (wine and beer), kitchen access, and plenty of bathrooms. There were roughly 400+ attendees that this place capped. Take the elevator up to the forth floor, cross this little overpass, and into the center. One side overlooked the stadium field. There were plenty of TVs against the ceiling wall. The center area expands out to another layer on each side. Restrooms on each side. What I didn't like about the space was it's odd rectangle length. Maybe good for viewing whatever might be on the field but for event space held within, the outer tables for a view of nothing. Also, if UW is going to "rent" this space out for social UW events they should allow access to the many TVs. There were some video presentations shown at the Gala and external TVs were brought in which were hard for people to see because they weren't elevated. Trying to wrap up a Gala by 11pm was doable but we also felt a little rushed to take our social engagements elsewhere. UW, thanks for opening this space up to those who pored thousands of dollars into the school at some point in their life ;)

Your humble reviewer is not normally treated to the activities that engage the hoi polloi strata of…read moreour society, but yesterday I had the chance to watch the UW Huskies play the Oregon Ducks at the Don James Center. And let me tell you, that if this is how the upper crust is living, then how do I get on the hummer limo? First of all, the DJC is a luxury seating area for the boosters and long-time alums who support the Husky football program through thick and thin (though there is a lot of kvetching during the thin times). You enter a sheltered buffet style room and access your seats through doors facing the field. The juxtaposition between the elite and the students is emphasized by a concrete wall that allows alums to feel as though they are part of the Purple Mania going on below them, but without obligating the alum to rise up from their seats and potentially disturb the caramel latte that they obtained gratis from the DJC. One can simply rattle one's jewelry in honor of the team's successful performance. The food here is designed for the elite palate. Chein chaud (Hot Dog) and Salad de Ceasar. Judging by the voraciousness of the food obtaining process, this is a well-anticipated event for most of the attendees. Conversational snippets overheard were dominated by descriptions of physical ailments and liabilities, particularly those related to the gall bladder. If you have any rich UW friends, try ingratiating yourself and see if you, too, can get a shot at the DJC.

During both my most recent concerts, security was extremely organized and let people in, in an orderly yet timely fashion. Tons of great spots to take photos. Seats are easy to find, especially with ushers everywhere incase you need help. The food is expensive but that goes for every venue. My cousin got the garlic fries with chicken strips, but tell me why they were the best garlic fries I've ever had??? Overall, I feel like Climate Pledge consistently does a good job and I will definitely be back for another concert. Other notes: Public transit is free if you have an event here! Look up transportation instructions and it should tell you how to activate it. This includes bus fare, the link, the monorail, and more both to and from.

There are so many entrances so security is very quick. Your ticket generally tells you which entrance to use too for peak efficiency. All the staff are super helpful with finding seats, accessibility needs, and free earplugs if you forgot yours. They have all sorts of delicious food; my favorite are the nachos but other strong contenders are the soft serve ice cream from mister softee and the shaq chicken sandwiches. They are somewhat pricy, but you can get 10% off with your Amex card. The best part is your ticket comes with a free monorail ticket, which is the best Public transportation option to get to the Seattle center. It shows they actually care to do something about the environmental message they send and it's not just for looks.

The ballpark looks over the Puget Sound and downtown Seattle. Fantastic views! Gorgeous setting. We were able to score discount tickets to the game via a college/student rate. It was a great way to get into teh action at a reasonable price. Even the upper bowl seating is pretty good. There are tons of food options here. Everything from classic ballpark hot dogs and snacks, to gourmet teriyaki from local spot, Marination, or legendary pizza from MOTO. The kids' club program here is also very cool. You can score discount tickets to future games, free hats, and lanyards for each kiddo you have in your group. Great access to the ballpark via bus or train. Seemed like there were many parking options nearby for those visiting via car. Great ballpark, entertaining baseball game, fantastic views.

The stadium and the surrounding area are really fun! Lots of food and drink options, lots of amusement (in addition to the game) with the "Salmon Run" and the Moose mascot and a pretty seamless entrance and exit process. One thing we found weird though was that there were literally nonstop fans entering and exiting their seats throughout the entire game ... even while batters were up and also standing up blocking views just because. Perhaps we're used to different rules in NYC but it certainly caught us off guard and made us have to ask the fans in front of us to sit down so we could enjoy the game (& no it wasn't them being excited bc the Mariners lost 11-0 lmao).

It's not a professional sports experience, but I wouldn't expect it to be -- and honestly, they do a really good job with what they have. One of the coolest parts is the history around the venue. They have a Hall of Fame area and a small museum-style section that's fun to walk through before the game. They also do themed nights that make the experience even more enjoyable. We went on Star Wars night two years in a row, and they had Star Wars characters all over the arena, which was a blast. I've brought friends and family members to games, and everyone has enjoyed themselves. It's also very easy to get to using the light rail, and for basketball games there's usually plenty of parking available nearby. Overall, it's one of the better entertainment values in Seattle. For the ticket price, there really isn't much else you can do in the city that's this fun and family-friendly. And beyond basketball, the other Husky sporting events we've attended have been great experiences too.

If you sit on the second-tier bleachers, it gets warmer and warmer when it is 70 degrees outside. It is a covered arena, adjacent to the open-air Husky Stadium. The primary parking is Lot E1. The portion that is closest to the building is E-18; Google map shows it. If anyone needs ADA parking, E-17 is a small, closer one with ADA only parking. While the building is most commonly used for basketball, it can be rented out, such as for graduations. The Bellevue school district's four high schools rotate their four graduations in a single day. It is a hot mess - figuratively and literally on a hot day. Be warned if you are going. They have a Huskies gift shop for those looking to shop.
