Qwest Field & Exhibition Center is the $430 million home of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks, beautiful scenery, and various events. Bring your binoculars for the game and the view. The open-air facility offers a perfect snapshot of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, the downtown Seattle skyline and Mount Rainier. The $1.75 million stadium art program, featuring regional and national artists, compliments the surrounding beauty of mountains and water.
Like its neighbor, Safeco Field, Qwest Field features some innovative architecture. An overhanging roof, covering 70 percent of the seats, hovers 260 ft in the air...keeping fans dry during rainy games. Not a football fan? No problem. There are plenty of other events to check out, like the Fall RV & Outdoor Recreation Show, music concerts, guided tours, and motor sports. The Qwest Field & Exhibition Center makes football look like high art...a stadium where form and function score a touchdown.
