CenturyLink Field, home of the Seahawks and Sounders, to be renamed Lumen Field

This will be the fourth name for the stadium, which opened in 2002 and was originally known as Seahawks Stadium.

It became Qwest Field in 2004 and was renamed CenturyLink Field in 2011 when CenturyLink acquired Qwest Communications.

I don't like it. Unlike Qwest Field, the Clink nickname pretty much became its own thing without needing the Centurylink brand name behind it.

Lumen is kind of lame. No real good nickname potential.

Must be because of the uniform worn tonight??? Action green lumen tops???

It’s going to be ilLUMENating!

Glumen Doom for the cards

So if I get this.....you are not lit up about it.

They couldn't wait until the weekend to announce this news? Who do we have as the color analyst tonight? I can already see the jokes if we lose this game.

CenturyLink rebranded themselves as Lumen Technologies, hence, the name change.

Failing companies usually rebrand themselves in order to rid themselves of bad publicity or previously bad business decisions for a “new” start.

NO opposing team comes into the not so friendly confines of LUMEN FIELD and escapes with a win. The Cards are so screwed!

When fans can attend games again will they be referred to as lumenaries?

That. Is. Awesome.

Barf...just like those putrid green jerseys they are wearing tonight.

It'll be known around the league as Lemon Field, I imagine.

<edit because 'aroung' is not a word>

I don't like it. Does anyone have any idea why they didn't check with me before doing this?

The Seahawks have never lost a game at Lumen Field

CenturyLink Field was lame, but the "Clink" nickname made it awesome.

Should not mess with a good thing.

Me no likey. Lumen sounds like a baby toy brand.

Now I'm even MORE jealous of the Dolphins with Hard Rock Stadium. Damnit.

But let's Thank All That Is Holy that "Climate Pledge Arena" was already taken...

Don’t really care. I think selling naming rights to a stadium is dumb.

I always refer to it as “the stadium” same with the Mariners ballpark.

It’s all about making that mighty mighty dollar, brother!

If a company came to me and asked to name my house for a few years for millions of dollars, I’m going to consider it!

Lol!

I kind of like it.. cause it will be termed "Iluminatti" has a good D'Vinci ring.

Quest field

Each victory or loss will be ILumenating

Not crazy about the name, but I honestly don't mind the idea of shifting away from the CenturyLink because it allows the name to be put to rest alongside a period of seahawk football that was utterly dominant. Haven't liked the fact that home field advantage hasn't meant as much over the last few years or that opposing teams were no longer intimidated to play at the 'C-link'. Let the name be put to rest with the era and let this current incarnation of the hawks write their own legacy under the Lumen name.

Plus, there's a certain poetry to the association between the name and what I see as the chapters of seahawk football evolution over the last 2 decades.

Qwest was about the quest for success and respect after a decade of losing and saw the team become a perennial playoff entrant, division winner and superbowl entrant.

Century link or the 'Clink' was about stating our claim as one of most dominant and intimidating teams in the opening stanza of the 21st century of football. Placing a punctuation mark on all those dreams from the 80s when we were also great and seemingly on the verge of greatness. 'Linking' past hope to present success, old generations of diehard fans to new.

Lumen? The obvious association to illuminating or lumination is there. Could be the chapter in seahawks history where russ and our aerial attack lit up the skies and score boards. Could be that for all those that thought the last few years, post LOB were the sign of a slow regression fornthe team and fade into obscurity, that a return to dominance and both sides of the ball might be illuminating experience. Or, that whatever the new innovation in offensive and defensive strategy, practice or process we innovate that gets copied around the league serves as the next illuminating 'thing' for others to replicate. Like music at practice, high tempo practice, always 'competing', turnover Thursdays, big, long corners, aggressive press coverage and all the rest that PC brought to the Hawks that ultimately changed the league.

Whatever it is, next chapter up . GO HAWKS!

So next Uniform Change ....

Could be worse. CenturyLink could have been bought by Sally Technology.

Couldn't care less about the name, just win. The league is filled with lame stadium names. To me it's always Seahawks Stadium.

Forego the few bucks and do the right thing...

Paul G. Allen Memorial Field at Seahawks Stadium

Done.
