Tips and tricks

  • Plan ahead! Gates to each match open three hours to start time. Factor in wait times for stadium screening and increased travel time.
  • Parking at stations will be very limited on match days. We encourage passengers to take connecting bus service, to ride bikes/scooters, or to get dropped off at Link and Sounder stations.
  • Bikes and scooters will not be allowed on Link or Sounder on match days. Use BikeLink services or bike/scooter-sharing services to get to the station.
  • Use our preferred stations guide for the best way to get to Seattle Stadium.
