As a Seattle native, I'm actually used to calling this place Safeco Field as it was before its…read morechange to what is now Lumen Field, and it's only my second time in here when I saw Beyonce back in 2023. For this visit, I got to watch the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Chargers go head-to-head via club tickets an awesome coworker gave me. I brought my foodie friend and myself here around 10:50am and struggled a little to find the line specifically for club and suite ticket holders like me. As club/suite ticket holders, you actually get to go in half an hour earlier than those with general admission! I did overhear staff saying that the gates for GA would open half an hour later from my arrival time, so I was still able to take advantage of the lack of crowds. Security checks are thorough but fast.
Crowds weren't in full force at 11am during my walk over to the Delta Sky 360 Club, which is above both the main and field levels of the stadium. Staff confirm your ticket status before entering; you just show them your tickets on your phone and they let you in. Inside, you're greeted by free trail mix which I've seen more than one club ticket holder before me grab four of in one hand... then you see Legion, Dojo Bar, Mister Softee and some other food vendors multiple times as you circle around the club area. Standup tables are near each area with vendors, and you can access your seats via doors labeled based on your ticket number. Merch from The Pro Store - I counted like three or four of them on just the Delta Sky level - is 30% off for club/suite ticket holders, and I used it to buy a Seahawks cap and beanie. There is a whiskey bar and another bar if you take the stairs up from the Delta Sky as well.
Throughout our stay, we each split and shared the following food:
- JSN (jerked salmon nachos): named after Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba using his same initials. This was unveiled during a foodie taste test event on IG from a foodie I follow, and it finally made its way here! I hear there's a long line for it in GA, but the line to get this in club/suite is seamless and fast, and staff there even give you samples! We got one to share, and this was our favorite of all time! Jerked salmon is fresh and its saltiness sits well with the saltiness of the nacho chips, and you even get a nice, hot kick with the jalapenos and onions smacked on the top along with their sauces and cheese.
- Legion of Blue: from Mister Softee comes this dirty soda drink that has blue raspberry syrup and a sweet cream topper, all for almost $10 before tax. Price is hefty BUT the cup is larger than your average milk tea cup by a lot. Drink is very bubbly and sweet, and was satisfying but I couldn't finish the whole drink.
- Poke nachos: yep, we actually got another set of nachos, this time from Dojo Bar just before the 4th quarter cutoff. Raw fish was cut in cubes and was fresh, delicious and rich in flavor along with the nacho chips themselves.
Seats in the club area are comfy, with an area to hold your drinks directly in front of you behind the seat of the person in front of you. Our area in club was close enough to the action on the field, and the roof covered the sun on our side, though it did block the way when I tried to see the airplanes flying above the field. Screens showcasing the game and replays are clear and crisp, and every now and then those screens tell us to make some noise, and the crowds here have gotten that noise up to a maximum of 106 decibels from what I remember. Wow, I heard we were a LOT louder during a Taylor Swift concert and another separate Seahawks game though! We Seattleites sure know how to make noise, especially when we won against the Chargers 30-23.
I'm not a football fan in any way nor am I going to be one even after this visit, but my experience here was top-notch and I look forward to any and all future events held here... maybe a Sounders or even another Seahawks seasonal game! Or another big-name concert like Coldplay or the The Weeknd.
