- PNSN collaborated with Football Case Study to provide seismology insights for the World Cup at Lumen Field, renamed Seattle Stadium.
- Six seismic sensors were installed in January, plus one later, at various stadium locations to record fan-induced structural shaking.
- A permanent station KDK across the street previously recorded the 2011 Beastquake event.
- PNSN has deployed instruments at Seahawks playoff games (2014, 2015, 2017) and Mariners games in 2025.
- These experiments educate the public about seismic monitoring in an earthquake-prone region.
- Live seismic data will be available on the PNSN website and social media during Seattle-hosted matches.
