Traveling to, from, or around the stadiums? Don’t get stuck in traffic!
Whether you’re #TruetotheBlue or a proud member of the #12s and you’re headed to the game, or if you’re just trying to get through town, we’ve got the information that you need to know.
During concerts, games, and other events at T-Mobile Park and CenturyLink Field, thousands of people are traveling to and through the SODO neighborhood. These events have a huge impact on travel times, as certain streets are closed to cars, restricting the ways people can get through.
We encourage you to try taking different modes of transportation to get to and from the stadiums, shifting your travel times, and avoiding drive-alone trips through the neighborhood during events. Check out our new map showing the high-impact area of the stadiums during event days along with which streets are closed, as well as access to and detours around SR 99, and find links to tools to help you plan your trip below!
Our new map showing street closures and traffic impacts in SODO after stadium events is here to help you.
Check out our Street Closures and Traffic Impacts in SODO After Stadium Events map, which shows the high impact area for traffic after an event at the stadiums. Please note: while there are closures for drivers through the area, streets will remain open to buses. Another great reason to take public transportation!
Plan ahead and see all of your travel options using resources from Sound Transit, King County Metro, CenturyLink Field, T-Mobile Park, and yours truly!
Choosing different modes of transportation, such as riding the bus, Link Light Rail, streetcar, water taxi, Sounder Train, biking, or walking, are all great options to reduce your travel time and keep your game day spirits high. If you’re riding Link light rail or King County Metro buses, try TransitGO to buy bus, light rail, and water taxi tickets ahead of time.
