With Wednesday marking the 20th anniversary of Lumen Field opening its doors on July 20, 2002, the Seattle Seahawks and First & Goal Inc. have announced plans to modernize and upgrade various areas of the stadium.
“As we celebrate 20 years of incredible sports and entertainment events at Lumen Field, we are thrilled to re-imagine and transform our guest experience,” Chuck Arnold, President of the Seattle Seahawks and First & Goal Inc., said in a news release. “We’re calling these upgrades ‘fanovation’ – where our fans and their experience are at the forefront of our decisions. We are excited for our guests to see several new innovative projects come to life at Lumen Field over the next three years.”
Renovation projects include two open-air food and beverage areas with premium field views called Cityside Bars, which will be located in the currently unused space beneath the stadium’s “Hawk’s Nest”; two new video boards in the north end of the stadium; upper concourse concession upgrades with checkout-free transaction technologies featuring food from Seattle’s International District; and a new premium ticketed hospitality area called the Tunnel Club located adjacent to the home locker room.
The stadium’s Verizon Lounge will also undergo numerous renovations, including the creation of standing room open-air decks with views of the field, a premium bar, and general upgrades throughout the area.
The Cityside Bars and new video boards are set to be completed by the start of the 2022 Seahawks season. Additional details on the Tunnel Club and Verizon Lounge upgrades, which are scheduled for 2023 and 2024, will be announced in the future.
To celebrate the stadium’s 20th anniversary, fans will also have the chance to win tickets to 20 events at Lumen Field this year by following along on its social media channels.
