Sealed water bottles are allowed into the stadium.
Lumen Field in Seattle's SoDo neighborhood is home to the Seattle Sounders FC — the club with one of the largest and most passionate supporter bases in MLS. The stadium holds around 37,700 for soccer and the Sounders have regularly sold it out since joining MLS in 2009. The atmosphere, driven by ECS (Emerald City Supporters) and a wide array of supporter groups, is consistently among the loudest and most visually impressive in North American soccer.
The SoDo location is well-served by Link Light Rail to Stadium station, right outside the main gates, connecting fans from across the Seattle metro area. Occidental Avenue S and the surrounding streets have bars and restaurants for pregame, and Pioneer Square is an easy walk. The Sounders' pregame march from Occidental Square is one of the great matchday traditions in MLS — worth participating in or at minimum watching before kickoff.

The Sounders have arguably the strongest supporter culture in MLS — the ECS and other groups generate extraordinary atmosphere throughout Lumen Field, with tifo displays, flares, and coordinated chanting from kickoff. The Sounders regularly fill a 69,000-seat NFL stadium for soccer matches, something essentially unmatched in American professional soccer.
When 40,000+ fans are in full voice at Lumen Field, it's one of the loudest sporting environments in North America. The south end of the stadium — where the Sounders' most dedicated supporters stand — generates thunderous noise that carries throughout the entire venue. If you attend one MLS game in your life, a big Sounders night at Lumen Field is the one.
Before every Seattle Sounders home game, thousands of supporters march from Occidental Park in Pioneer Square down to Lumen Field — a tradition that has become one of the great pre-match rituals in American soccer. The March creates a procession of green-and-blue scarves through downtown Seattle that feels as much a community event as a sports ritual.
A Sounders FC tradition started by the Emerald City Supporters.Head to Occidental Park 60 minutes before kickoff and then march to the stadium with thousands of your closest friends.
Possibly 300 for bigger groups. Sounders FC and the visiting team's front office and/or supporter groups arrange the section.
You can find a selection of songs and chants on the Emerald City Supporters website, or on the Sounders website.
