Although Lumen Field (formerly CenturyLink Field) is a small stadium (by NFL standards – 24^th largest in the league), what it lacks in size, it makes up for in views and noise. The home of the Seattle Seahawks (since completion in 2002) of the National Football League (NFL) and the Seattle Sounders FC (since 2009) of Major League Soccer (MLS) has twice held the world record for crowd noise at an outdoor stadium reaching decibel levels of and 136.6 and 137.6 respectively. This has contributed to the increase in false start and delay of game penalties for Seahawks’ opponents.

The modern facility located in downtown Seattle near T-Mobile Park (home of the Seattle Mariners of the MLB) can seat up to 68,740 people, and features the Event Center with the Washington Music Theater (WaMu Theater), a parking garage, and a public plaza. The backdrop of the city skyline provides a fans with breathtaking views day or night, adding to the loud atmosphere.
