How to time a meal before an event at Lumen Field
Book your table about two hours before kickoff or showtime. On game days, traffic into SoDo is much slower than the ten-minute drive on a quiet evening and the entry lines with bag checks take time, so book a little earlier if you want to be in your seats for warmups.
For weekend afternoon kickoffs, Grappa serves weekend brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 AM to 2 PM.
