Section 114 & Venue Info
What to Know About Section 114
-
Right next to the players’ tunnelSection 114 is field level on the south sideline — one of the best spots in the stadium, and where the players walk out.
-
Clear bag policyLumen Field is clear bag only. Max 12" × 6" × 12" clear bag, or a small clutch up to 4.5" × 6.5". No exceptions at the gate.
-
Mobile tickets onlyDownload the Ticketmaster app and add tickets to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet before you arrive. Screenshots often fail to scan.
-
Food & drinkConcessions on the field-level concourse behind Section 114 typically have shorter lines than upper concourses. Sealed water bottles are permitted.
-
Noise — plan ahead for little ones & sensitive earsLumen Field gets loud. Young kids and anyone with hearing sensitivity will be much more comfortable with headphones or noise-reducing earbuds. Loop earplugs are a great low-profile option — bring them, they make a big difference.
