Travel Tips
Getting There
Lumen Field sits in the SoDo district of Seattle, just south of downtown. It is one of the more accessible World Cup venues, with several public transport options running directly to the stadium.
The best public transport option is the Link Light Rail. Fans can take the 1 Line to Stadium Station, which is directly adjacent to Lumen Field. Service runs frequently and is the easiest way to avoid matchday traffic.
For rideshare users, the designated pickup and drop-off areas are signposted around the SoDo district. Allow extra time for surge pricing and post-match queues.
Flying In
The main airport is Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), approximately 30 minutes from the stadium by car in light traffic, or around 40–50 minutes via the Link Light Rail directly from the airport. It is one of the most convenient airport-to-stadium connections of any World Cup venue.
Where to Stay
If your priority is walking to games, downtown Seattle and the SoDo district are the closest options, with a range of hotels within easy reach of the stadium.
Fans who want to be closer to Seattle's waterfront and city centre tend to stay around Pike Place Market or Capitol Hill, both a short light rail or rideshare journey from the stadium.
What to Do Around the Match
Pike Place Market is Seattle's most iconic landmark and is a short distance from the stadium, perfect for pre-match food and atmosphere. The FIFA Fan Festival will have large screens, food stalls, and live entertainment throughout the tournament.
For those exploring further afield, Capitol Hill is Seattle's go-to neighbourhood for bars, live music, and restaurants.
Matchday Tips
Lumen Field is one of the more accessible World Cup venues, but matchday crowds will be large. Use the Link Light Rail where possible, arrive well before kickoff, and budget extra time for post-match queues. With a 3:00 PM local kickoff on 19 June, getting to the stadium early is strongly advised.
