More about seattle stadium

2018 SAFETY Act certified

Stadium Improvements

Seattle Stadium was built to host the FIFA World Cup™; it’s literally in the authorizing statute. That said, we all know that FIFA’s tournament requirements have evolved over the past 20 years. We have committed to undertake the improvements necessary to meet FIFA requirements, which will include:

  • laying natural grass natively, not over turf
  • expansion of the current video boards
  • upgrades to stadium WIFI
  • several Food & Beverage enhancements.

Sustainability

Seattle Stadium endeavors to operate a zero-waste and minimizing greenhouse gas emission event for the FIFA World Cup 26™.

Over the course of the past 20 years, the stadium has been internationally recognized for its various community and sustainability programs, including winning a 2018 Sustainability & Community Impact Award at the International Stadium Business Summit in London.

As a founding member of the Green Sport Alliance, the facility has a 98% waste diversion program, and its event center leverages solar power to return electricity back to the grid during the summer months.

Making noise

Seattle Stadium is electric and well-known as one of the loudest stadiums in the world – in fact, according to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN), which monitors earthquakes and volcanoes in Washington state, the noise from fans cheering at Seattle Stadium has registered seismic activity numerous times over the years, including most recently at the Sounders’ Concacaf Champions League Final win.

The infamous touchdown run by Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch in the 2011 NFC Wild Card playoff game was coined the “Beast Quake” after the fan reaction also registered on a seismograph.

During a typical year, Seattle Stadium hosts more than 300+ event days, with more than 2.4 million people coming through its doors.
