The Seattle Seahawks took a loss against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, but fans at Lumen Field who are into cashierless concession stands can at least count the day as a win. The Seahawks debuted three more stores at the stadium utilizing Amazon’s “Just Walk Out” technology, designed to eliminate checkout lines and get fans back to their seats faster. The new locations are on the main stadium concourse in sections 103, 105 and 123. They are called District Market, just like the store that opened in section 323 at the start of the season. The stores serve beer, wine,… Read More
Lumen Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, is getting some upgrades to mark its 20th year, and it looks like the stadium will be catching up to Climate Pledge Arena and T-Mobile Park with a high-tech concession option. The Seahawks and First & Goal Inc. announced a number of stadium enhancements on Wednesday under the label of “fanovation,” in which “fans and their experience are at the forefront” of decisions.

Bobby Wagner’s career with the Seattle Seahawks has come to an end after 10 seasons, but his career as a tech investor in the city will keep going, according to the venture capital firm where he joined as a partner in 2020. “No change, we’re excited to continue to build with Bobby,” Fuse general partner Cameron Borumand told GeekWire on Friday. The Seahawks released the All-Pro linebacker and longtime defensive captain on Wednesday, a day after the equally surprising news broke that the team was trading quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos.

The Russell Wilson era appears to be over in Seattle. The Seahawks have reportedly agreed to a deal that will send the team’s star quarterback to the Denver Broncos, ending ongoing speculation about whether Wilson would stay in the city where he won a Super Bowl championship and became the face of the franchise. The trade, first reported Tuesday by NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissoro, would send Wilson to the Broncos for a “massive haul” that includes multiple first-round draft picks, plus additional picks and players. Drafted in 2012, Wilson owns nearly every Seahawks passing record, according to Seattle Sports,… Read More
