With it’s sleek design, CenturyLink Field (formerly Qwest Field), is one of the most recognizable stadiums in not just the National Football League, but in all of professional sports. Additionally, the Seattle Seahawks fans (often referred to as the “12th Man”) create one of the best NFL fan experiences in the league; but a loud and hostile environment for visiting football teams. CenturyLink Field is a must-see venue if your favorite team is playing in Seattle. Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the CenturyLink Field seating chart to help fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Seattle Seahawks tickets.
Where To Sit At CenturyLink Field
Navigating CenturyLink Field is very easy. The three core seating areas include the lower level seats, the Delta Sky360 club seats, and the upper level seats. Unlike most NFL stadiums, CenturyLink Field’s club seats are located on the lower level of the stadium, and are located just behind the 100 numbered sections. We’ll begin by discussing the lower level seats.
Lower Level
The lower level seats at CenturyLink Field consist of sections 100 through 151. The rows for most lower level sections are lettered A through Z. There are a few lower level sections in the corner of the stadium with double-lettered rows, and those rows will always come after row Z. In the north end zone is a seating area called “The Hawk’s Nest” which are bleacher seats and one of the rowdiest seating areas at CenturyLink Field. The Hawk’s Nest consists of sections 146 through 150; row K is the first row in all Hawk’s Nest sections. Avoid any double-lettered rows in the Hawk’s Nest sections since they’re located too far from the field.
The Seattle Seahawks sideline is located in front of sections 134, 135, and 136. The visiting team’s sideline is located in front of sections 108, 109, and 110. The Seattle Seahawks’ player tunnel is located adjacent to sections 127 and 130. The visiting team’s tunnel is located adjacent to sections 114 and 117.
Field Seats
The field seats are the most unique premium seating area at CenturyLink Field. There are four sections of field seats at CenturyLink Field; northeast (in front of section 105), northwest (in front of section 139), southeast (in front of section 112), and southwest (in front of section 131).
The perks for the field seats at CenturyLink Field include the following.
- All-inclusive food and soft drinks via mobile ordering
- Access to the Delta Sky360 Club lounges as well as the Verizon Lounge
- Comfortable cushioned seats that are 24 inches in width
- Closest seats to the game at CenturyLink Field
- Express VIP entry into CenturyLink Field

Upper Level
The upper level seats at CenturyLink Field consist of sections 300 through 344. The rows for the upper level sections will begin with row A, extend through row Z, and end with a double-lettered row. The number of rows in the upper level sections will vary greatly but will go no higher than row TT. The most desirable upper level seats are those in rows A through E which require fans to climb very few steps and are organized as a small block of seats to themselves.
The great thing about the upper level of CenturyLink Field is that the seats are continuous making it very easy for fans to navigate the stadium. Many NFL stadiums have a split upper level meaning you must take specific ramps or escalators to reach your seats. One often forgotten aspect of sitting on the upper level of CenturyLink Field is that the design of the stadium protects many fans from rainfall. Rainfall in Seattle is very common so it’s likely that this was taken into consideration when the stadium was designed.
Delta Sky360 Club Seats
The Delta Sky360 Club seats consist of sections 205 through 213, and sections 231 through 239. The rows for the club seats are lettered A through Z in most sections; row AA is the last row in many club sections. The perks for the Delta Sky360 Club seats at CenturyLink Field include the following.

The Verizon Lounge is a restaurant on the South side of the Delta Sky360 Club level that opens three hours before kickoff and is limited to club ticket holders. Fans must make reservations if they wish to eat in the Verizon Lounge. As stated earlier, the views from Delta Sky360 club seats are excellent, in part, because they’re located on the lower level. The club seats in most NFL stadiums are almost always located on the second level.

Football fans with season tickets for the Delta Sky360 Club seats as well as the private suites will have access to three lofts on game day including the Rainier Loft, the Player’s Loft, and the Coaches’ Loft.
