Lumen Field: The Premier Stadium Experience and Major 2025 Upgrades
Lumen Field, formerly known as CenturyLink Field, is more than just a stadium; it is a landmark known for its unique architecture and ear-splitting crowd noise, largely thanks to its roof design that covers approximately 70% of the seating area and traps sound.
The venue boasts a seating capacity of about 68,000 for NFL games, which is reduced to approximately 37,000 for regular-season Seattle Sounders FC MLS matches, with an additional 5,000 seats available for special events.
The $19.4 Million FIFA World Cup Renovation
The most significant and recent update to the venue is a massive $19.4 million renovation project, primarily in preparation for hosting matches during the FIFA World Cup 2026.
This major upgrade includes a critical change for soccer fans and international events: the replacement of the existing artificial turf with a state-of-the-art *stitched natural grass* pitch.
The installation of this new playing surface requires new irrigation, vacuum ventilation, and grow lights to maintain the highest standard of natural grass.
Additionally, the stadium has introduced new premium seating options in 2025, such as the *Touchdown Suites*, offering a private, elevated viewing experience for fans.
