This stadium features a U-shaped design and located right on the shores of Lake Washington. We've attended numerous Husky games have always had a great time. Staff members are cheerful and friendly. Concession stand prices are astronomical, which is to be expected. They do have a solid selection beverages and food. Tailgating and sailgating are time honored tradition at Husky stadium given the promixity to Lake Washington. Getting to the games is now easier with the light rail stop directly outside the stadium. Both Metro and Sound Transit have bus routes near the stadium. The most common strategy is to drive and park near or on University Avenue and walk through the UW campus. This stadium is convenient and a ton of fun.

One of the best settings for a sporting event in the nation…read more The proximity to the city definitely can be a downside if you're thinking about traffic, but I've had even worst traffic experiences at stadiums that were out in the boonies too. So that's probably hard to do for any stadiums anywhere. What's remarkable is the food and the liveliness it has during event days. Inside the stadium, of course, but even the outside and heck, the entire mile of a walk to the stadium itself is just energized with people hanging out and grabbing food. It cannot be understated how well the environment is out here. Of course, the stadium itself is a state of the art facility and probably one of the loudest acoustically. I think I heard it was specifically engineered for that? Don't quote me on that but it really does get loud out there, and I love it. Biased as I am, having lived here my entire life, this place is arguably the best setting in the world in my heart.

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.

Definitely a spot for culture. The area contains the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center, Climate Pledge Arena, Museum of Pop Culture and McCaw Hall (hosting both the opera and ballet). This is also where you will find a stop for the monorail. Don't forget the Armory either. Most notably, this area served as the World's Fair site. What us out-of-towners don't know about this place is that David Denny, founder of Seattle, donated the land with a stipulation that it be of "public use forever." You can spend the day here and never get tired of what is around you. There area loads to see and just when you think you are done, nope. I had my camera with me and was able to fill my memory card with hundreds of pictures. Quite the tranquil place. Even if there might be tons of people milling about.

The lady at the Symetra Club entrance was very nice and explained everything to us. She was slow and methodical, recognizing my handicap, and even helped point out where the restrooms were during the first intermission. Her kindness had a lasting impact on my experience. Lastly, it was my friend's very first Kraken game, so her helpfulness made a great first impression for my buddy too.

After getting in the arena and walking around the other entrances had zero line. So recommend walking around to the back. Was really excited to find the Impossible Foods vendor. Disappointed it was not all vegan. But more so disappointed that the staff had NO clue about the dietary differences of the only 4 dishes. The menu did say VG- vegan and V - vegetarian, but they were putting the non vegan sauce on the VG burger. ALSO why is the vegetarian burger with cheese and sauce the same price as the burger without those things (and no substitution)? Was in a box area which is VERY fancy. The bar tender was so nice. NA drinks were included with the ticket. Alcohol drink not included. About the $17 for a beer. There were snacks. Mostly vegetarian, one vegan option- a watermelon sushi. It was ok but def not filling. Love the WNBA! Thank you arena for your carbon neutral goal. Will be back when in town.

The stadium itself is beautiful with sweeping views of downtown Seattle from multiple areas and Elliott Bay from the top deck. There are tons of retail spaces and a multiple of food options. Some are familiar brands - Salt and straw, Moto pizza and Ivars as examples - and others are more generic. Many of the seats are under cover in case of inclement weather but others are not (the outfield looked almost entirely exposed). The scoreboards are large and easy to read. The music between plays and innings was lively! And the fans were happy and loyal. People were considerate of one another and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I can't wait to go back for another game! Highly recommended for an amazing urban sports experience in a wonderful city. Go Mariners!

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.

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.
