Memorial Stadium Project
It’s lights out . . . for now at Memorial Stadium. However, as we prepare to embark on a new chapter in Memorial Stadium’s rich history, the public is invited for a one-day-only opportunity to visit the stadium and bid a fond farewell, share favorite memories, and learn about the exciting plans for the new Memorial Stadium at Seattle Center which will continue to inspire students, the community, and the region for generations to come.
Memorial Stadium Open House & Preview Event
Seattle Public Schools’ Memorial Stadium at Seattle Center
East Gate Entrance, 401 5th Ave North
Thursday, June 26, 2025
4 – 7 p.m.
FREE ADMISSION
Join us for this momentous occasion featuring live music, photo opportunities, food trucks, and more – including an opportunity to view the latest renderings for the new Memorial Stadium and speak with project leaders about the vision, design, planning and timeline of this legacy investment for year-round athletics, education, and entertainment seamlessly integrated with the iconic Seattle Center campus like never before.
For nearly 80 years we’ve gathered at Seattle Public School’s Memorial Stadium on the Seattle Center campus to cheer on student athletes playing beneath Friday night lights, to celebrate graduating high school seniors ready to take on the world, to rock the stands with legions of fellow concertgoers, and to experience spectacular festivals from the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair to Bumbershoot and beyond.
Do you have a great Memorial Stadium story to share about your high school graduation, attending or playing in a big game under the stadium lights, attending a memorable concert?
We want to hear your stories for curating an archive on this website. Read below some of those we’ve already received and share your favorite memories and photos – who knows, you may see your story and photos posted on our social media channels, on the pages of The Seattle Times, or maybe even on the Memorial Stadium screen during the Community Open House event on June 26th.
Coming soon.
