Lumen Field
Seattle, WA · Stadium
Lumen Field in Seattle's SoDo follows the NFL clear bag rule. Your main bag has to be clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, plus you can carry a small clutch up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches. A one-gallon freezer bag works too. The same rule covers Seahawks games, Sounders matches, and concerts.
Backpacks, coolers, and footballs all stay home, and on game days even a football is turned away. The handy part is the fallback. Walker's Lockers runs official bag storage near the North and South gates for a small fee. Link light rail stops right at Stadium Station, the easiest way in.
