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 stadium is renowned for its electric atmosphere, partly due to its design that amplifies crowd noise, creating an intimidating environment for visiting teams.

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