In Game

Safeco Field is one of the first stadiums in the MLB to feature a retractable roof allowing the Mariners to play games in rainy conditions which are common in Seattle.  There are a handful of other stadiums in Major League Baseball that have adopted this technology, but it is still one of the best parts about Safeco Field since you’ll never have to worry about a rainout.  One great thing about the design of the roof at Safeco is that even with it closed the exterior of the stadium allows for natural light to flow in through the outfield preventing the stadium from feeling a dome.  

If you need a spot to grab a quick beer and catch up on some of the other games in the majors, The ‘Pen sports bar inside the stadium is the spot for you. Admission only costs $1, and beers will run about $5 which is still a value considering most other stadiums charge upwards of $9.

As far as the rest of the concessions at the stadium, you can find just about any ethnic food in the stadium ranging from Mexican to Thai.  Local fish market Ivar’s brings in fresh fish for every game allowing for you to kill two birds with one stone and have a great Seattle seafood meal and take in a game all in one midsummer night’s eve.

Look for yourself on the Jumbotron at the game, the Mariners have the largest board in the MLB currently and hold the 24th spot worldwide.  So keep your eyes peeled as you never know when you may end up on the biggest screen in baseball.

Whether it’s the fact you won’t have to worry about a rainout, the incredible food options, or the massive video board, there are plenty of reasons why you’ll have a great time taking in a Mariners game at Safeco Field.
