==Features and amenities==
The post-renovation Climate Pledge Arena is {{convert|740,000|sqft|sqm}} and has 17,100 seats in its ice hockey configuration, with higher capacities for other events. Most of the lower-level seats are subterranean, while the concourse and main south entrance at the Alaska Airlines Atrium are near ground level. The arena has several food vendors that use [[Amazon One]] for contactless payments.<ref>{{cite news |last=Craighead |first=Callie |date=October 20, 2021 |title=A look inside Seattle's new Climate Pledge Arena ahead of Kraken home opener |url=https://www.seattlepi.com/local/seattlenews/article/inside-climate-pledge-arena-before-kraken-debut-16549897.php |work=Seattle Post-Intelligencer |accessdate=October 20, 2021}}</ref>

The arena has a pair of six-sided ceiling [[scoreboard]]s in lieu of the traditional single, center-hung scoreboard used in other indoor arenas. They were designed to not interfere with sightlines and are also positioned higher than other NHL scoreboards.<ref>{{cite news |last=Baker |first=Geoff |date=October 22, 2021 |title=After $1.15 billion renovation, Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena 'will surprise people in the greatest way' |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/kraken/after-1-15-billion-renovation-seattles-climate-pledge-arena-will-surprise-people-in-the-greatest-way/ |work=The Seattle Times |accessdate=November 5, 2021}}</ref>

Concurrent with the announcement that the arena would be named Climate Pledge Arena, it was stated that the venue would aim to receive a [[Zero-energy building|net-zero]] certification by pledging to have all events be "zero-waste" (through use of compostable containers and reduction of [[single-use plastic]]), use [[Rainwater capture|captured rainwater]] for its ice surface, and source at least 75% of food served at the arena from local producers.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite news |last1=Belson |first1=Ken |last2=Wasson |first2=Lindsey |date=2021-10-29 |title=An Arena Where the Goal Is 'Net Zero' Carbon Emissions, Even From Fans |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/29/sports/climate-pledge-arena-seattle.html |access-date=2022-08-28 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> All fans holding a ticket to a public event at the arena can claim a free public transit pass for use starting two hours before the doors open and until two hours after the end of the event.
