Talk:Sports in Seattle

Helene Madison

I think the article should also mention swimmer Helene Madison (1913-1970) of Seattle who won three gold medals at the 1932 Olympic Games. Willingandable 15:25, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

UW

I think it would be appropriate to include championships contributed by UW, such as in crew, volleyball, football, etc. --DerRichter 12:01, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

MLS Cup / Open Cup

Should there be some clarification on the main Seattle article (which references and pulls data from this article) regarding the Championchips that the Sounders have won? It seems that according to MLS_Cup, the Sounders have yet to win MLS's championchip title. I was a bit confused by all of this.. Thanks, 131.107.0.81 (talk) 18:44, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Non-Seattle teams

Why are all these sports teams listed who play far out of Seattle, in Tukwila, Kent, Renton, Redmond? --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:03, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

These areas are close to Seattle, easily accessible from Seattle, and people looking for spectator sports in the Seattle area are probably interested in spectator sports in those nearby areas. Silver Slip (talk) 06:00, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Fine, but it needs to be moved to Sports in Puget Sound or something. It gets pretty far out of the city. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 15:34, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

If you are in south Seattle, then Tukwila and Renton are closer than downtown Seattle. If you are in north Seattle, then, say, Woodinville may be easier to get to than downtown. Even if you live in central Seattle, if you are looking for a team that plays a certain sport and the team plays in Kent, you would probably like to find that info on this page. These areas are all part of the greater Seattle metro area. Sports in Seattle should cover the Seattle metro area. I think that when people look for information on sports in Seattle, that is what they are expecting to find. Even if they are not interested in a team playing in Kent, they can ignore it, whereas, if they did want to know about the team in Kent and the information is not on the page, they just do not get the information. Now, we can talk about exactly what should be included in the greater Seattle metro area. Tukwila, Renton, Kent -- definitely yes. Olympia, Bremerton -- definitely no. Everett, Redmond -- not sure.

Section on venues and Stadium District

The city has been pushing for a "Stadium District" to be established around the CenturyLink Field/Safeco Field/Sonics Arena triangle in SODO, which might warrant coverage. I'm also here to dump a tiny snippet of information found, which caps attendance at CenturyLink Field events to ~42,000 if Safeco Field is being used on the same day (Source).
