Home venues in Ticket Timeline's game data
Buildings the Seattle Sounders FC have called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful when an old ticket names a former stadium or an earlier naming-rights label.
Coverage in Ticket Timeline's game data starts in 2009—a data-coverage year, not a franchise-founding claim.
If your ticket says Qwest Field or CenturyLink Field, that's the same building under an earlier name.
Seattle Sounders FC play home matches at Lumen Field in Seattle, WA, USA—a shared venue also home to the NFL's Seahawks. Dates for those nights are anchored in Pacific time. The building list above is what Ticket Timeline uses when an older ticket names an earlier naming-rights name of the same building.
Rebuild your Sounders FC history
Use that timeline when dating a night: tickets that still say Qwest Field or CenturyLink Field refer to Lumen Field—the same building under an earlier name. Rebuilding Sounders FC attendance is usually a scavenger hunt: paper tickets and PDF confirmations, camera-roll scoreboard dates, calendar invites, season-ticket statements, and memory anchors (companions, rivals, life events, stadium names on stubs). Work season by season; a partial list of attended matches is enough to start matching opponents and stadiums. When confirmations live in Gmail, import games you've attended walks through a read-only preview before anything is committed. For a shoebox of stubs, see what to do with old ticket stubs.
