It was Mothers Day at the Mariners game today and we had 5 kids under 7 who were dying to see the Mariner Moose. We were in a suite and spotted him a few suites down so went out on a " moose hunt" down the corridor. We waited, only to have him run away from our kids. Literally, he'd walk out of a suite and bypass these 5 kids begging, "please stop moose!" It was ridiculous and all we were told, by his harom of Ms girls was that "he's on a very tight schedule"- really? He's a grown man dressed like a moose and he can't as much as stop and wave at the kids who are standing there 2 feet from him?! Give me a break. I think the Ms need a new moose, since the current prima Donna clearly doesn't appreciate or understand the job he has, nor is he doing it well. We attempted 4 times, each time being ignored. Finally, at the advice of one of the staff (who were equally horrified, though not surprised by his behavior) we had the kids stand in a line with their "high-5s" out waiting and as he came out of a suite, he brushed past them, giving half-ass high-5s. And that was it. It's Mothers Day- you'd think he could have given a tiny bit more effort knowing there were more kids at the game today, but no.
I figured the Moose exists for the kids, but clearly this moose has another idea, leaving disappointed kids in his paths. Thumbs down! You're out Moose! read more
