Lumen Field is a multi-purpose stadium in Seattle, Washington, United States.
Located in the city's SoDo neighborhood, it is the home field for Seattle Sounders FC of Major League Soccer.
The stadium was built between 2000 and 2002 on the site of the Kingdome after voters approved funding for the construction in a statewide election held in June 1997.
The first sporting event held included a United Soccer Leagues (USL) Seattle Sounders match.
The USL team began using the stadium regularly for home games in 2003.
The MLS expansion team, Seattle Sounders FC, began its inaugural season in 2009 at the stadium.
Lumen Field was the site of the MLS Cup in 2009 and 2019 the latter set a new attendance record for the stadium with 69,274 spectators.
Seattle Sounders FC is an American professional men's soccer club based in Seattle, Washington, United States.
The Sounders compete in Major League Soccer as a member of the Western Conference.
The club was established on November 13, 2007, and began play in 2009 as an MLS expansion team.
The Sounders are a phoenix club, replacing the second-division franchise that played in the American Professional Soccer League, A-League, and USL First Division (USL-1) from 1994 to 2008, and carrying the same name as the original Sounders franchise that competed in the North American Soccer League from 1974 to 1983.
The team set a new MLS record for average attendance in each of its first five seasons.
The Sounders are ranked as one of the most valuable franchises in North America.
Its players have included former US international Clint Dempsey, top goal scorer Fredy Montero, as well as long-time captain Osvaldo Alonso, and all-time assist leader Nicolás Lodeiro.
The original badge design resembles a heraldic shield, and consists of two layers which represent "the partnership between the ownership, the community, the players and the fans".
The logo incorporates the Space Needle, an internationally recognized Seattle landmark.
The official team colors are Sounder Blue, signifying the waters of the Puget Sound Rave Green, representing the forests of the Pacific Northwest; and Cascade Shale, representing the Cascade Range to the east of Seattle.
A new logo and brand design was unveiled on September 26, 2023, ahead of the 2024 season-the club's 50th anniversary.
