Seattle

The “beautiful game” is coming to the beautiful city of Seattle.

Atlanta is globally influential; our rich past has influenced our culture and we wear it with pride.

With some of the most ardent and passionate fans in Major League Soccer (MLS), Seattle Sounders are a thriving club, while there are many youth players developing the game from a grassroots level. In addition, the RAVE Foundation is building urban, accessible football fields and futsal courts for free play, that is dedicated to open use by the community.

Each and every step of the way Seattle has attracted large, passionate crowds for professional matches. In the early years of the NASL, the Seattle Sounders were consistently among the football league’s attendance leaders with more than 20,000 attendees per game. In 1976, an exhibition game with the New York Cosmos and Pele produced a sellout crowd of 58,000; a North American record at the time.

THE VENUE

“LUMEN FIELD WAS BUILT FOR THIS. THE LEGISLATION AUTHORIZING PUBLIC FUNDS AND GOVERNING THE PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF LUMEN FIELD SPECIFICALLY CALLS OUT THE FIFA WORLD CUP. AND IT’S LOUD … THE LOUDEST. LOUD ENOUGH TO GENERATE SEISMIC ACTIVITY.”
