Seattle's Lumen Field ranks third-best World Cup stadium for fan experience

SEATTLE - The 2026 FIFA World Cup is less than a month away, and Seattle is already feeling the excitement. And luckily, the Emerald City has one of the best stadiums to host the global tournament.

Lumen Field, which will be renamed "Seattle Stadium" for the World Cup, was ranked as the third-best venue for fan experience, according to TripAdvisor. That's compared to all other stadiums hosting matches in 2026.

A study from UKSoccerShop analyzed reviews for World Cup stadiums in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and determined Lumen Field ranked third when it comes to fans' five-star reviews.

By the numbers:

Of Lumen Field's 1,307 reviews on TripAdvisor, 66.7% of them ended up being five stars. The top-ranked stadium was AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which has a 74.2% five-star review rate, and second was Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe with a 69.9% five-star review rate.

BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia also ranked in the top 10, coming in tenth with a 52% five-star review rate.
