SUSTAINABILITY

Lumen Field has been a sustainability leader since opening in 2002. As proud founding members of the Green Sports Alliance, a nonprofit that leverages the power of sports to promote healthy, sustainable communities, we continue to push the industry forward. We pursue our sustainability ambitions by taking informed risks, innovating, testing, and learning. Our efforts are guided by two core pillars: Drive to Zero and Go the Extra Yard.

OUR PILLARS

Drive To Zero Logo

Lumen Field is committed to zero waste through on-site waste diversion, water conservation, and energy reduction. Its customized MRFi waste-sorting system boosts diversion by efficiently separating materials on-site. With over a 90% diversion rate at all events, sustainability remains central to stadium operations and its drive toward zero waste.

Go The Extra Yard Logo

Go The Extra Yard reflects Lumen Field’s off-site efforts to create lasting environmental and social impact. Through partnerships like the Puget Sound Restoration Fund, community clean-ups, education initiatives, and support for local nonprofits, Lumen Field extends its sustainability and community commitment beyond the stadium walls.

Home Taste Advantage

By sourcing ingredients and vendors within 3 miles of the stadium, we reduce transportation emissions, lower air pollution, and shrink our carbon footprint. Supporting local also strengthens our community and provides fresher, seasonal options for fans. All food is served in fully compostable containers and utensils, reinforcing our commitment to zero waste and responsible operations.

Transportation

Fans are encouraged to use sustainable options like the Link Light Rail, Sounder Train, Metro bus routes, and rideshare services—all with easy access to the stadium. For electric vehicle users, charging stations are available in select parking areas. Choosing these options helps cut emissions and supports a cleaner, greener Seattle.

OUR EFFORTS

Our team joined forces for a beach clean up with Puget Sound Restoration Fund, successfully collecting 535 pieces of trash weighing over 67 pounds. This demonstrates how individual efforts contribute to meaningful environmental change. All collected debris was logged using the Clean Swell app to support global data and drive long-term solutions. Do your part - log your cleanup and be part of the movement toward a cleaner planet.
