Lumen Field is a multi-purpose stadium in Seattle, Washington, United States. It serves as the home field for the 2013 NFL champion Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL), Seattle Sounders of Major League Soccer (MLS), and Seattle Reign of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). It was originally named Seahawks Stadium, but was renamed Qwest Field in June 23, 2004, when telecommunications carrier Qwest acquired the naming rights. When Qwest was acquired by CenturyLink in 2011 the stadium's name changed to CenturyLink Field (aka "The Clink"), then changed again in 2020 when CenturyLink rebranded as Lumen.

The stadium, which cost $430,000,000 to construct from 2000 to 2002, was designed by Ellerbe Becket. It has an all-seater capacity of 68,740 with 111 luxury boxes and 7,000 club seats. It has a U-shaped configuration with an open north end and a partially open south end. At the north end is a tower with a scoreboard and bleacher seating for 3,000 (known as the "Hawk's Nest"). The west and east stands are covered by a roof. The stadium has a FieldTurf surface. Its capacity can be increased to 72,000 for special events. An exhibition center and parking garage are located to the south.

The University of Washington Huskies football team plays in the stadium during the 2012 season. It also hosted the 2002 Seattle Bowl and the 2009 MLS Cup.
