🏈 Seattle Seahawks
πŸ“ Seattle, Washington
🚌 Link Light Rail (SoWa/Beacon Hill) to Stadium Station, directly between Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park. From downtown Seattle, it's 5 minutes and $3.25. The best transit option for any SoDo event.

Lumen Field (formerly CenturyLink Field) opened in 2002 and is widely considered the loudest outdoor stadium in the NFL. The 12th Man set the Guinness World Record for crowd noise at 137.6 decibels in 2013. The partially enclosed design funnels crowd noise onto the field in a way that is genuinely disorienting for visiting teams.

πŸ’‘ Insider tip: The Seahawks' 12th Man tradition is one of the most organized and sincere fan rituals in sports. Wear blue and green, raise your 12 flag, and be as loud as you can β€” you are part of why Lumen Field is the most difficult away venue in the NFL.

🍴 Seattle Can't-Miss Eats

You cannot leave Seattle without eating these.

Dungeness Crab
Pacific Northwest Dungeness crab, boiled and served whole with drawn butter, is one of the great American eating experiences. Available throughout the fall and winter at Pike Place Market.
Seattle-Style Hot Dog
A Seattle street food peculiar: a grilled hot dog with cream cheese (mandatory) and grilled onions. Available from street carts outside Lumen Field. Strange, correct, delicious.
Pacific Northwest Salmon
Wild Pacific salmon β€” chinook, coho, sockeye β€” from Alaska and the Washington coast. Smoked, grilled, or raw in sushi. The freshest salmon in America is available here.
Teriyaki
Seattle has the most per-capita teriyaki restaurants in America β€” a legacy of the Japanese-American community. Chicken teriyaki on rice is a Seattle staple.
Pike Place Market
The 1907 public market overlooking Puget Sound has genuine working fishmongers, produce vendors, and the original Starbucks. Worth a full morning.
Craft Coffee
Seattle's coffee culture β€” Starbucks began here, but the independent cafΓ© scene has far surpassed the mother ship. Victrola, Lighthouse, and Caffe Vita are the local standards.

Pro Tips
Make the Most of Your Weekend
🚊
Link Light Rail

Stadium Station is directly between Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park. From downtown Seattle, 5 minutes. Use it β€” always.

⚾
T-Mobile Park is 0.3 Miles Away

One of the most beautiful ballparks in the AL. A Mariners Saturday + Seahawks Sunday is one of the most enjoyable back-to-back weekends in West Coast sports travel.

πŸ¦…
12th Man Tradition

Show up for the pre-game raising of the 12 flag and be as loud as you can for all four quarters. You are part of why Lumen Field is the loudest outdoor stadium in the NFL.

🐟
Pike Place Market

A Saturday morning at Pike Place Market before a Sunday game is the ideal Seattle sports weekend start. The fishmongers, the flowers, the first Starbucks β€” give it 2 hours.

☁️
It Rains

Seattle's reputation for rain is deserved but somewhat overstated. Lumen Field's partial enclosure provides some protection. A quality rain layer is worth packing.

🎟️
Seahawks Tickets

The 12th Man means demand is high. Buy early for the best prices.
