Lumen Field, located in the heart of Seattle, Washington, is the home stadium for Seattle Sounders FC, a powerhouse in Major League Soccer (MLS). The stadium, which opened in 2002 and was previously known as CenturyLink Field, has a seating capacity of up to 68,740 for soccer matches, making it one of the largest venues in the MLS.

The location is also well-connected by public transportation, including bus and light rail services.
