So yeah I’m gonna be an annoying environmentalist for a second but if we’re all gonna pour our extremely recyclable cans and bottles into cups, at least put a recycling bin next to the station! There’s even some scattered around the stadium already! @soundersfc.com

There is a similar bicycle light near me that I do the same thing with. (only stop if a pedestrian is actually crossing). There is plenty of visibility too so no chance of a pedestrian walking into my path without warning.

9. and lastly, Aurora - Somewhere around Bitter Lake

6. Somewhere in Magnuson
Pros: land seems to be available, close to Lake Washington (foot ferries from around the lake anyone?)
Cons: Location is honestly just not good. Magnuson is tough to get to for most people, also it is too far from the Sound.

5. Ballard - Fred Meyer Lot?
Pros: On the water (Salmon Bay), Ballard is a cool neighborhood, transit and Burke Gilman accessible
Cons: Ballard is a trek for most people and some serious traffic flow work would be needed.
(Could be a cool spot for Ballard/Salmon Bay FC?)

4. Moving North: Somewhere in Interbay
Pros: Still sort of centrally located, future light rail connection on Ballard Extension, close to the Sound
Cons: While still somewhat accessible, travel times to and from the stadium would really increase for most people.

3. ID - Dearborn Goodwill Area
Pros: Centrally located, transit accessible, lots of land
Cons: Putting up yet another stadium in or adjacent to the ID is probably not the best move for a number of reasons.

2. South Seattle - Rainier Ave Lowe's
Pros: Close to Mt Baker light rail and somewhat near future Judkin's Park light rail, former site of Sick's Stadium (Steelheads), in a neighborhood yet on an arterial.
Cons: NIMBY backlash (gonna be a theme for most of these), potential traffic issues

1. Somewhere in SODO
Pros: Could be close to SODO light rail, centrally located
Cons: Would most likely be kind of a no man's land, potential ire of maritime/industrial types

First, lets take a look at other MLS soccer specific stadiums and their footprint. I chose other West Coast cities, and a few other newish soccer specific stadiums to compare with.
The Average footprint for these stadiums is 11.25 acres with seemingly little correlation to capacity.
