Seahawk Stadium Exhibition Center

Sea HAWKS.
A lot of fun and well organized

The Seattle boat show is excellent this year!

Of course I love this place! With the lack of tailgating allowed for Seahawks game this is a decent replacement. It is bigish and great place for Auto Shows. Other than that it is a large space connected to stadium.

Qwest Field Event Center is spacious and serves its purpose as an exhibition space. I recently visited over the weekend because the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Expo was held there. Aside from being a wide open indoor space, there isn’t much else to it.

Exhibition Center is so spacious that it’s great. I’ve been to a number of different types of events here. Car shows mainly. They pile in the cars and there’s still enough room for aisles/​walkways. I was here recently for the Rock ‘n Roll Marathon expo which was nice. They maintain this and is clean.

As exhibition centers go, Seahawk stadium is just okay.
It’s functional: large, plenty of space, cavernous, enormous (I can keep going with adjectives) but there’s not much else to redeem it. The ceiling is a few beams and although you’re standing in a few exhibits, it feels like you’re standing in a giant warehouse. If you close your eyes, you can imagine standing in the middle of a SAMs club in Arkansas. Not that I expect too much from a convention center, but hard to get excited about any event here.
Functional for your exhibit, but not terribly memorable.

Matty’s my best friend, but let me tell you this, he is an idiot. ;-)
Seriously, the stadium is beautiful with great site lines and from our seats (26 rows from the field on the 40) we have a great view of the action and I love going to the games. The only real complaint is last year when they hassled the tailgaters in the N lot for drinking, but this year they’re not as ‘aggressive’ all we need is for a bigger crowd of tailgaters to to show up on a regualr basis. We’re there at 0900 on game day, come on down and join us!

You know me. I’m the stuck up East Coaster who thinks that nothing in Seattle is as good as it is back east. Well, let me tell you Seattle is just not a sports town, though they try so very hard. Qwest Field is one of those place that could have been great, but it stumbles to be accepted as fantastic.
I’ve been tailgating at Qwest since the stadium opened, and its just sad. With so many rules and restrictions, its easy to see why people in Seattle don’t like to tailgate.
Inside the stadium, it feels very sterile. All I see is concrete and vendors — how exciting is that? The best part of the stadium is the sightlines to the field. These are some of the best sightlines I’ve ever seen in any stadium, which is why I boosted my rating from 2 to 3 stars.
Lastly, what is up with plastic grass on the field. I’ve had the privilege of actually running around on the field and its no better than typical astroturf (which I played on in college). Why spend so much money on a «state of the art» stadium and then put in fake grass? It’s football, the game is supposed to be muddy and grassy. I know they play soccer there too (ugh) but c’mon what’s a traditionalist supposed to do.
For Wi-​Fi head up to Club Area and the corporate lounges. Supposedly there’s free Wi-​Fi there, but I never had the gall to bring my Tablet PC to a game to find out.

Formerly just known as Seahawks Stadium, Qwest Field is still the fairly new home of the Seattle Seahawks except with a new sponsor name. It is a modern and open-​air complex where one can catch a football game. Many seats will allow for cool views of the city, which may distract you from the game you are supposed to be watching. Next to the stadium is an exhibition center.
