Qwest
Field is designed with a 67,000 seat capacity, with 5,000 additional
seats available for special events, and 1,400 seats for fans with disabilities.
With a roof covering 70 percent of the seating area, fans will enjoy wide,
comfortable seats with sideline seating a mere 52 feet from the playing
field and end-zone seats just 40 feet from the action. The facility also
features a dozen elevators and expansive concourses with an ample provision
of concessions stands and restrooms.
On June 2nd, 2004, the Seahawks announced a new stadium sponsorship agreement
with Qwest Communications International Inc., with the stadium to be named
"Qwest Field."
In addition to the naming rights, the agreement includes Qwest's increased
support for local Seahawks charities. The agreement also calls for Qwest
to be the telecommunications supplier to Qwest
Field, the stadium and exhibition center operator, First & Goal,
and all other Seahawks facilities.
