I can’t believe this stadium is over 20 years old. It feels like it was built about 10 years. It’s really nice even for sounders games.

I believe this broke ground in 2000 not 98, Because the seahawks played at husky stadium for a year or two until this was finished. If I remember correctly, it's on the same site as the kingdome and that was imploded in 2000.

They started prepping the new stadium around 98. They took out a parking lot and started construction. In order to finish the new stadium the Kingdome had to be removed. Most people don’t realize it’s not exactly built on the foot print of the Kingdome.

@@jeremyweber8874 bro you’re on drugs . It’s exactly on the same footprint . All the old photos of safeco opening in 1999 shows the kingdome in LITERALLY THE EXACT SAME SPOT . Don’t bullshit me bro . I live in Seattle and have been going to mariners and hawks games since the 80s You’re most definitely confused with the building of the exhibition center

I live an about 3 hours away in Oregon. And in seems like when everyone talks about our city they just rip it apart. Despite the fact that both Seattle and Portland have about equal problems when it comes to homelessness and drugs. For some reason Portland gets all this hate while no one really mentions how bad the west coast is as a whole. I have been to Seattle once for a Mariners game and the little bit of things I saw were actually quite impressive. Seattle is a great sports market and so is Portland, and when our two teams fight each other it’s a really fun rivalry. I think if Portland had more sports teams it would be really fun to watch the two battle each other. Hope you guys get the Sonics back.

It’s hard to believe it’s already been that long, I remember driving by it in the summer of 2001 and seeing all of the construction progress, feels like it was yesterday. The Kingdome was an absolute disaster, I remember going to my last Mariners game there in 1995, a couple of nights after a 30+ foot of ceiling crashed into the section next to where we were sitting, the seats were pulverized, if anyone would have been sitting there at the time they would have likely been killed of seriously injured at least. Purposefully never went to another game there. Glad they demoed it and put something nice in place of.

When it comes to soccer at Lumen, there is one time where the stadium will be at full capacity for a soccer match & that is during the 2026 World Cup in which Seattle is a host city. The only thing that will need to be changed for the World Cup is adding natural grass as FIFA is totally against World Cup matches being played on artificial turf.

I was there for the first game (it was a preseason) in August of 2002. Most seats still get rained on, the SW wind blows it right in, downpours are rare. Used to be a great stadium district, however, now the city needs to clean up it's act around it. It never had a chance to host a Super Bowl, the area around it doesn't provide the NFL required space, like big parking lots, hotels, etc(the requirements are strict to host the Super Bowl, do a video on that).

This is going to be replaced or get a re do soon. It's just a case of waiting for the team to be sold by Paul Allens estate soon. Reason being it's very light on suites and they don't have a great view, and very few club seats. There is alot of tech companies in Seattle and they will want to make alot money from premium seating.

@DebitAdams8 ай бұрын
Mariners vote was rejected, and the politicians worked around it and still got it done. Paul Allen saved the Seahawks and got over the hump for votes. It was hard to spend money again for another venue. The Sonics should be coming back by 2030 or whenever the NBA decides to expand due to the massive renovation at then Key Arena.
@S_Over_Street8 ай бұрын
Seattle Coliseum was renovated to become Key Arena in 1994 & 1995 as the SuperSonics played the ‘94-‘95 season at the Tacoma Dome. Why that had issues later on was cause it didn’t has as many luxury suites & didn’t fit NHL accommodations either.

Apparently nortonhafield7312 has no idea about Seattle sports or what actually happened to the Sonics period and should just shut it. Because he has zero clues. At the time no other city in the nation was paying off more current and continuing construction bonds for sports venues than Seattle. The Kingdome bonds and the roof repairs were still being paid. The renovation bonds for the coliseum were still being paid. Plus bonds for the two new stadiums. How much more should taxpayers pay? Well ignorant? Taxpayers did more on their part and so did the city. Also those Oklahoma carpet baggers would have moved the Sonics to Oklahoma City regardless. Emails and phone calls from Clay Bennett to other minority investors were revealed during Howard Shultz's lawsuit against them showed it was their #1 intention. Since they failed to steal the Pelicans after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. They're scumbacks back then as they're scumbags now. Karma has sought justice over the last 10 years because OKC Thunder still suffers from the Seattle Supersonics curse being mediocre, regularly getting bounced out of the playoffs, and failing to win an NBA championship.
