Talk:Lumen Field

Richter scale

I removed the unsourced 3.0 on the Richter scale line. The first thing I heard a few hours later in in Pioneer Square was "dude, you know the news said it got to 2.4". So I have heard it in passing and it has been blogged about. If anyone finds a source or hears it on the news please add it! We can use cite episode if it is on local news I think.Cptnono (talk)

Fieldturf in nfl

So it says this was the first NFL stadium to use fieldturf artificial surface. Ford Field (Detroit Lions) has also always used Fieldturf and it opened the same year in 2002. Now maybe Lumen Field technically opened a few weeks earlier so it still was first but as written, it is confusing. 2600:1700:BF32:8ED0:B90A:EE96:9DD0:6AF4 (talk) 21:59, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Date of bond payment completion

I noticed that the stadium bonds were supposed to be retired in 2021, but there seems to be no sources for it when it occurred besides an opinion piece in The Seattle Times by the Public Stadium Authority chair and the Seahawks vice chair. Would the opinion piece be acceptable to use since it was co-written by the PSA chair, or is that off-limits? In any case, only the date (January 1, 2021) would be used from the source itself.

Correction to, potential replacement of main infobox photo

Regarding recent attempts to replace the main infobox photo: while I understand that the current photo may be a bit too outdated and low-resolution for some people's liking, the reality of the situation is that it is still the best "free" image in terms of showcasing the interior of the whole stadium. That said, I think the photo's description is inaccurate as to when it was taken; the main issue is that the tower has the "Seahawks Stadium" signage instead of the "Qwest Field" signage, which was already installed (as seen on September 11, 2004, via Getty Images) by the time this photo was supposedly taken (April 2005). On Flickr, I also found an exact copy posted by the same uploader with an earlier date (February 2005), but still later than the photo on Getty Images, so I think the description should be corrected with this in mind.

Still, considering the low resolution of the photo, I think a new, higher-resolution version of it is needed. The "free" photo I could find on Flickr that most closely matches the panorama-like view of it is this one by SounderBruce, but I feel that too much of the field below is cut off to be a suitable replacement. I would like to coordinate on some potential guidelines for a replacement photo in case anyone here has the opportunity to capture one if they visit the stadium in the near future.

At minimum, a like-for-like replacement of the current photo would be ideal. Something shot from the upper deck's southern end that shows the layout of the tiers, preferably without the tarp covering seats. SounderBruce 23:17, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
