T-Mobile Park Events
Seattle Mariners fans breathed a sigh of relief in 1999 at the much-anticipated opening of T-Mobile Park as the new home of their beloved baseball team. The Kingdome, which the Mariners had shared for many years with the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks, had been deemed no longer fit to host an MLB team, and there were serious threats to move the franchise to another city if a new stadium could not be secured to house the Mariners. Fortunately, a new ballpark (now T-Mobile Park) was built and soon gained a welcome neighbor in Lumen Field, the dazzling new football stadium of the Seahawks, providing Seattle* with a pair of outstanding new world class sporting facilities. T-Mobile Park has received praise from baseball fans and pundits alike for its excellent views of the on-field action as well as its retractable roof that provides protection from the wet, blustery elements of the Pacific Northwest on rainy days but then opens to spectacular views of downtown Seattle and the gorgeous waters of Puget Sound when the sun occasionally deigns to appear. Unfortunately, the Mariners have not quite lived up to their new stadium on the field, having still never won an American League Pennant, let alone a World Series in their nearly 50 years of existence despite making several good runs at it in the 1990s and early 2000s buoyed by talents like Ken Griffey Jr., Ichiro Suzuki, and pitching ace (and dinosaur look-a-like) Randy Johnson. Making the playoffs in recent years has proved a struggle for the team, but fans cling to the hope that the best at T-Mobile Park must surely be yet to come. As well as all regular season and playoff Mariners home games, T-Mobile Park has been known to host minor league and college baseball games as well as college football and international soccer on occasion. The stadium is frequently the venue for large concerts. Showing up to T-Mobile Park hungry is no problem at all, with all sorts of tasty treats on the menu, including sushi, pad thai, and crepes alongside ballpark stalwarts like hotdogs, popcorn, and fries (for more adventurous consumers, the Mexican stand in the ‘Pen section has been know to sell roasted grasshoppers). Thirsty beer connoisseurs will be able to sample many varieties of locally brewed craft beer. Shops and kiosks around the venue hawk team and event merchandise, much of it emblazoned with the Mariners logo.
*With the Seattle Sounders of the MLS joining the Seahawks at Lumen Field in 2007 and the Seattle Kraken arriving on the scene as the newest NHL franchise in 2023, Seattle seems to be back in the running as a major American sports city these days. All the city needs is for an NBA franchise to return and replace the departed Supersonics and they will have the complete set!
