A very fun, well-kept environment. We enjoyed the mariners game very much. Also the garlic fries slapped. And people were nice.

Could use more vegan options and more sustainability moves, but the stadium was clean when we arrived for Enchant and the staff were very friendly. Parking was efficient as well. read more

Previous reviews of this ballpark are thorough in terms of describing its amenities and so forth, so I'll focus on the stuff I like about going to baseball games and how this park was compatible with that. I should start by saying this was the last in my two decade long quest to go to every Major League Baseball park. I've now been to all 30, plus 9 that have been retired. Regarding this park (I really hesitate to call it T-Mobile because it will always be Safeco to me), there were a lot of positives that more than adequately justify the 4-star rating. The sight lines are good from everywhere in the park. The seats are wide enough, with spacious aisles, so you don't feel cramped. The beer and food selection was above average. I enjoyed the Mariners Hall of Fame, with so many neat artifacts from the history of that team and the Seattle Pilots. It did seem like if it was laid out better (it's tucked in the back of a row of food stands) it could be expanded and become more multimedia driven. I saw a variety of places - field level first base line, club level third base line, upper level first base line, field level third base line and behind home. I liked the club level the best, not only for the elevated sight lines but the temperature controlled concourse with spacious bathrooms. The food choices were no better than anywhere else, however, and the lines seemed longer. I got to watch the retractable roof open and close, as one game was followed by fireworks and another one started to have some rain about halfway through. That was neat and something I'd seen only in Houston and Toronto (watching SkyDome open is amazing). Fans weren't plentiful at any of the games, as the team was pretty wretched this year. However, I attended King Felix's last game as a Mariner, so the crowd was very hyped up. At all five games I went to, the fans seemed polite and knowledgeable. And the players hustled, and the M's pulled out a couple games they probably shouldn't have I like to take photos, lots and lots of them, when I go to games. I had few issues doing that and got some good ones. There's a lot to take photos of throughout the stadium. One thing I'd strongly recommend is going to the very top of Section 347 (the outermost section in the left field corner) when it's still light out, as you can get a pretty good view of downtown Seattle as well as the Elliott Bay coast, all the way up past the Space Needle. You also get the side of CenturyLink Field, where the Seahawks play. One of the only things about the park I did not like, which I referenced above, was basically everything that came with changing its name. The structure of the ballpark and everything inside it has a dark colored theme to it, which fit well with the Mariners team colors as well as matching what the Seahawks do. But T-Mobile's color is pink. So there are neon pink signs all over the inside and outside of the park. It looks ridiculous. In terms of getting to and from the stadium area, I rode in a car once and parked at a garage that was expensive and closer to the football stadium than it was the baseball stadium. I highly recommend relying on public transportation. There is a Stadium Link Light Rail stop, although getting to and from the park from there requires some walking, including hills and a few ramps. There are also bus stops very close to the park on each side, especially First Avenue across from the home plate entrance, that are easy to access. In the end, it was a very good experience that may have been great if the team was better, the weather wasn't so cold (the end of September in Seattle wasn't the best plan for an end of Summer 2019 trip) and there wasn't mismatched neon pink all over the ballpark. I would definitely come back. Now to plan 2020's baseball trips. read more

Returning to this park last summer was really an excellent experience. My wife and I are trying to visit all of the MLB parks. Seattle didn't disappoint. As per usual, the food and drinks are ridiculously expensive, but you should always be prepared for that at an MLB game. The Red Sox won, which didn't hurt the experience either. We had a blast and will definitely be returning. read more

I sat in an aisle seat and must've got up over 50 times people stand and look for their seats. They used to stop people at the top of the stairs, so you would not interrupt the play. It would be nice to see that go back into effect. That's why you're there is to watch the game and not look around people standing in front of you. Other than that, I totally enjoyed myself with all the shops and food items to choose from. read more

You don't have to be a Mariners fan to appreciate the beauty that is Safeco Field. As a baseball fan (in general), I make it my goal to catch a home game at whatever baseball city I travel to...and it just so happened that one of my favorite teams to follow (Texas Rangers) were in town! Even though it was a light breezy April evening with mid-70s temps, you may still want to consider bringing a medium weight jacket (especially if you're native to warmer climates). Once that sun goes down, temps within this stadium become mighty chilly! What about rain? Well, Safeco Field is aptly equipped with retractable roof. Although I scored some amazing 3rd Base side seats, 9 rows from the field on StubHub (for under $45 each), it truly appears you cannot go wrong with any seat in the house. Even inexpensive seats seemed to have a nice view of the field. I cannot speak for every single concession stand but I can attest to a very tasty Polish Dog satisfying my hunger at prices you'd expect of any ballpark. Having been to a number of MLB venues, I can honestly say the parking situation here is thee best I've ever encountered! But what actually won me over was the ease of entry and exit from Safeco's parking situation. We found that street signs were not exactly placed in the best possible locations yet fate would lead us to CenturyLink Event Center Garage, where you will discover an abundance of parking stalls that are in no way cumbersome that is completely secure. If I ever come back to watch a Mariners game, I'm definitely parking in this structure. While not exactly thee best place in the country to watch a baseball game, nonetheless, I feel Safeco Field is an exceptional venue. I think you'll share my sentiments. read more

***Safeco Field is a nice stadium and there are great touches like lots of activities for children and a lively eating and drinking area in the outfield called The 'Pen; unfortunately, the design of the stadium could have been more interesting*** Safeco Field is an indoor-outdoor stadium and home of the Seattle Mariners. Indoor-outdoor stadiums definitely have their pluses like never having to worry about the weather be it the rain in Seattle or the very hot days and nights in Houston or Phoenix. These stadiums though are not as open as the many new ballparks out there and this closed-in feel actually makes the stadium feel less intimate (the emptiness of the stadium on such a sunny day also made the ballpark feel less energetic and lively). With the lack of an open look and lots of empty seats, Safeco Field comes off as too big from your seat. The exterior of the stadium has a very nice design, but the inside of the stadium has a fairly ordinary look. While the field looks great and the seats are comfortable, the outfield and stands are quite generic. There is no integration of the city skyline unless you are seated in the upper deck. In addition, Safeco Field lacks the great color scheme of AT&T Park or the excellent use of brick at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Houston's indoor-outdoor stadium Minute Maid Park also has a much more interesting design because of its integration of a train depot style into the stadium (Minute Maid Park's location used to be home to a prominent Texas train depot station). While Safeco Field's look is pleasant but nothing special, there are many other elements about the stadium that stand out. The first thing about Safeco Field is that it is a very family friendly ballpark. The team store features a big children section (both apparel and toys) and there is even another gift shop in the stadium solely dedicated to children apparel and stuff. There are also other activities that children will love like a speed pitch cage, a playground with a variety of equipment, a small stand for carnival games, and an area to get photos with the Mariner Moose (the Mariners team mascot). For adults, there is The 'Pen, which is a lively area located on the ground just past the outfield fence. This section features many tables where you can hang out, eat, drink, and watch the game (you might not get that much of a view, but you will be very close to the action). There is also an atmospheric fire pit and a cool island bar. This area also features more upscale food options including several stands offering concessions from local Seattle brands and chefs like Ethan Stowell. The 'Pen also sits right on the bullpen so you can get very close to the players and the action without having to pay the high prices to get seats right next to the dugout. The 'Pen also has these areas where the sun shines brightly on ballpark attendees. If it is a cold day in Seattle, these areas are a great way to get some sun and warmth. There are other areas in the stadium that have tables in the sun including the upper deck area where there are several big tables to have some ballpark food while enjoying great views of the water and the city skyline. There are many food options at Safeco Field like sushi, vegetarian cuisine, Thai food, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, funnel cakes, deep fried Twinkies, churros, Dippin' Dots, self-serve frozen yogurt, cheeseburgers, French fries, tater tots, hot dogs, bratwursts, Italian sausages, corn dogs, pizza, fish and chips, grilled fish sandwiches, clam chowder, upscale tacos, chicharrones, chicken tenders, tortas, and chicken wings. Overall, I thought the food was just okay, but there are probably good items here if you can find the right stand that appeals to your personal preferences. The chicken wings are probably good if you visit Swingin' Wings at the right time. The ones I had were pretty decent though they did not look as good as others I saw at the game. The team store has a good variety of apparel (modern, throwback, upscale, and grunge) though the store is small and it can get uncomfortably busy. Customer service throughout Safeco Field is very good. Safeco Field is a nice stadium with a few unique touches like the lively happy hour feel of The 'Pen and its close-to-the-field standing area. I wish the design was more interesting and cohesive like Oriole Park at Camden Yards and AT&T Park. I also wish there was a stronger integration of the city skyline from the field seats like PNC Park and Busch Stadium. Still, with the pleasant staff, the comfortable seating and the activities for both children and adults, Safeco Field is a great option for spending a Sunday afternoon in Seattle. There are several pay parking structures and lots near Safeco Field. The parking structure adjacent to Safeco Field is $20 per vehicle. read more

Safeco Field and Ichiro. Oh how I miss thee! We moved from Seattle a few years ago and have missed coming here for the Mariners games. During the season, we use to eat about once a month across the street at Pyramid Brewery. http://www.pyramidbrew.com/alehouses/seattle We would highly recommend the experience and the food. When we had time. And, we tried to make time. We would walked across from Pyramid to the Mariner's store to browse. But now with Ichiro on the Yankees(Ugh!), all we have left is one of the most beautiful baseball parks ever made. This is not a commentary on the current team. I've been in a few parks over the years, probably twenty or so. Safeco is one of the best (along with AT&T Park in SF) of all the new places built during the past twenty years. I have always been impressed with it's architecture. It has that Earl Santee of HOK Sport Venue feel to it, but they didn't do the work. It was local Seattle-based NBBJ that won the job of designing this beautiful park. They did a great job! Below, I've listed the Opening Day 1999 Mariners starting lineup. Impressive even by today's standards. How many future Hall of Famers do you see? 2B David Bell 1B David Segui CF Ken Griffey Jr. SS Alex Rodriguez DH Edgar Martinez RF Jay Buhner LF Butch Huskey 3B Russ Davis C Dan Wilson P Jamie Moyer Here's The Seattle Times review on Safeco's ten year anniversary, published a few years ago. http://seattletimes.com/html/mariners/2009456630_safeco12.html Enjoy! read more

M's Opening Day. Go Mariners! Take me out, to the ball game. Buy me some peanuts and Crackerjack. Let me root, root root for the home team. If they don't win, it's a shame. For it's one, two, three strikes you're out. At the old ball game! Arguably...America greatest past time, enjoying the thrill of the bat connecting solid in the sweet spot onto the bat with the ball and rounding the bases as the ball flew high and flying through the air. Every child & adult needs to know the agony and despair as the ball sailed in the catcher's glove and hearing the umpire call..."Strike three, you're out!" or the joy of a HOME RUN! Safeco Field has a nice retractable roof to let the sun beam on your face or keep the rain out and not a single bad seat in the stadium to enjoy the ball game. Many memories here to Randy Johnson pitching, Edgar Martinez hitting a double, Ken Griffey Jr hitting a home run, or now...watching my daughter smile when eating some garlic fries. Nothing beats going to Safeco Field to enjoy a M's game on a beautiful sunny day with my 3yr daughter. I can't wait to take my son to the game when he gets older! Dave Niehaus says, "My, oh my." Fun Fact: If you flush all the toilets at the same time, it makes a musical sound created by the construction company. I had the opportunity to tour it before it was open to the public. read more

My 500th review was on the Mariners and I was waiting for review 600 to review Safeco Field. I couldn't have chosen a better time to reach 600 than right now (the M's are currently in 1st place, as I write this). Safeco Field is awesome. The ballpark is gorgeous, especially with the Ferris wheel and the Space Needle visible from the upper levels. The food is pretty tasty too, considering the venue (I've definitely had worse at "restaurants"). From crab rolls, to chicken wings, humongous burgers, and garlic fries...you can eat your fill of anything. Even Ethan Stowell has joined in on the fun and he's created some delicious options for baseball fans. Sweet Iron Waffle is new to the park (look near the HOF area on the first level) and they serve alcoholic slushies at the Hit it Here Cafe. Beyond that, it's always fun to go and cheer on your team. Honestly, Safeco is gorgeous and there's nothing better than watching a ballgame on a sunny day while drinking beers with your friends. read more

I saw Jesus throwing the first pitch of the game at this field*. Came here and saw a game with the fam back two seasons ago. M's playing the Red Sox. Right after that hippie Johnny Damon got a haircut and went to The Yankees. My God, a group of six or seven people came from Boston to watch the game. The result? We won by two points thanks to a Grand Slam by Raul Ibanez much to their chagrin. The food and drink prices are high. Guess what, though? Everyone knows this! If you come to Safeco expecting fair food and drink prices then it must have been 20 or 25 years since you've been to a major league ball game. It happens! Deal with it! It's baseball, people, some things are worth the expense. This is one of them in my book. Happy Opening Day 2008! Go Mariners! *Welcome to the footnote! Thanks for reading the rest of the review (in the event that you did; if you didn't, please go die). Fine, I'll explain myself.

You guys tell me if this sounds like a perfect afternoon: 1) walk in sunny downtown down to Safeco field 2) see all the other folks walking around you 3) get asked 18 times in one block if you need tickets 4) grab Dixie's BBQ, garlic fries and a beer before you even sit down 5) eat, talk, look at other people, and once in awhile glance at the score 6) duck like a crazy person when you hear a foul ball, only to see its 3 sections away from you and everyone is looking at you weird 7) think about getting a lemonade but instead opt for another beer 8) scoff at everyone buying shishkaberry for $8 only to get one later 'just to see what so good about it' 9) see the Mariner's lose by 9, but more importantly listen to the girls talk about Ichiro stretching ALL GAME 10) grab some kettle corn for half price on the walk home 11) perfect. read more

T-Mobile Park - Porter special from dixies. Oh and there's a game going on... - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love the fact that baseball parks in America (get with the times Toronto) are becoming a more enjoyable experience. So many have done an excellent job at meshing their stadiums in urban centers adding to the flavor and revitalizing once crappy neighborhoods and making them magnetic hot spots (Texas? You should be reading this). Safeco Field has hit a home run in all facets of what a ballpark should be. Located on the southern edge of downtown with cool bars, restaurants and convenient public transportation within an infield single. If you're near a light rail station, getting here is a breeze. I arrived from Belltown and total transit time (including my walk from the hotel to the will call booth) was 35 minutes. And for just two bucks, I used the cash I saved on a pre game drink. Once inside the stadium, the interior hall was very spacious with plenty of room to walk around and not having to worry about bumping into other spectators which eliminated the danger of spilling your beer. Behind home plate (Lower section) there is a small exhibit dedicated to the history of baseball in the Northwest. If you're a fan of the game, I highly suggest you take a few minutes and check it out. Great job Seattle! read more

Staff here are very helpful especially if you have special needs. They have elevators even if your not handicap. The food here is fun and tasteful but can be on the pricey side. Lots of fun places to grab a beer, even a wine bar! The stadium was built to where each seat has a great view of the field. If you were to get seats behind the home plate you get access to the hidden bar below the field. There's a retractable roof for those rainy days in Seattle too!! I really enjoy coming to this place. You should get to the field early before games just so you can check out everything! read more

I love visiting the Seattle area during baseball season. Between Safeco Field and next-door CenturyLink Field, you get very modern sports facilities that are so much fun. As a fan of Los Angeles sports teams, I'm truly jealous of Seattle sports fans. You can actually get up close next to the bullpen and even say things to the pitchers as they warm up pre-game. I got an opportunity to do the tour here once and it was probably one of the most entertaining values I got for $10. If you're a baseball fan, this is definitely a place to visit. And of course I love how this city still loves my man Ichiro Suzuki. ;) read more

On game days, the street leading you past Qwest to Safeco is littered with vendors selling food and typical ballgame/tailgate food. Specifically though, a large number of the stands were selling hot dogs and sausages, with several selling the apparent must eat in Seattle - polish sausage with cream cheese and onions (didn't try one here, but got one another night from a street vendor). Definitely saves some money if you eat out here and then head into the stadium. I actually think a lot of people end up doing that since the lines at the concessions inside were a lot shorter than I would have guessed. The stadium itself has a nice, relaxing feel, and it just gives off that Seattle vibe....whatever that means. Everything is subtle and muted, so it's fairly modest in design. Workers and fellow fans were generally nice and friendly too, and it felt pretty clean, so that kind of goes with the whole "Seattle" notion in my head. Admittedly, I didn't explore much of the stadium, but if anything, it seems maybe a little too simple. From the view of the field, you don't see too many unique features about the field itself. Being a Giants fan, I like that AT&T has the close yet tall brick wall in right with the arcade on top, the cove beyond that with the Splash Hits, and "Triples Alley". Nothing over the top, but things that give the stadium some character and individuality. Still, Safeco is a beautiful field. The stadium seems to be pretty accessible by various means, whether by car, public transportation or by foot. From where I was staying near Pike, it was a relatvely short 20-30 min walk or so. Definitely adds to the fan friendly experience I've heard about from friends that have been before me. I think AT&T still has an edge in overall experience (and garlic fries), but being my hometown team, I know that stadium a bit better (and I have an obvious bias). I do give Safeco and the team a great deal of credit for maintaining a lot of open and unobstructed views of the field while waiting in line for the food. You might not be able to see everything, but at least you can check out part of what's going on thanks to the lack of vendors lining the corridors. Also, I don't know if this is a common thing in Seattle or not, but for you friends north of the border...the concession stands accept Canadian currency too. read more

Soggy night outside and the roof is closed. Seats along the first baseline and a great view. This is still a great venue for baseball but on this night, it was meh. Why? Freezing rain manages to get through openings around the roof and rain down on you. We were amazed to get splashed with rain while we watched the game. Others were prepared for it, sporting rain jackets and hoods, but we were caught off guard. read more

I went to Ms games in the Kingdome from the first season on. My dad, grandpa, and I went to an As game that year, and my dad and I saw every AL team at least twice. I couldn't wait for them to build this place, much as I loved going to see the Ms play anywhere, and they really did it right. Safeco Field is a baseball palace. It's easy to get around in, parking is surprisingly good for being near downtown Seattle, you can hear trains and ferry boats, you can smell salt air, you can watch the sun set over the Olympics from upstairs, all the architectural spaces make it feel like a place that has real reverence for the traditions of going to ballgames, all the little subjective stuff like that is right. That's your first impression, and if you're a baseball fan, you're already feeling good about attending the game before you even get to the top of the stairs. From a crowd flow standpoint, some parts of the concourse can feel a little congested at peak times, but there's only so big you can make the place. So that's fine. There's plenty to eat and drink, and the Hit it Here Cafe has a pretty dazzling beer selection for a ballyard. What matters most, though, is the experience watching the game. It's set up so you can see the field from the concourse--when you're in line for a dog, you can turn and still see the diamond. That's awesome. There's fresh air everywhere, even with the roof closed (and a closing roof is a neat feature). As you move out to the field, the ushers keep traffic from flowing during at-bats. Such a simple, nice feature--you're here to watch the game, so do so while the game is in play. Sightlines are great from everywhere. When you buy your tickets online, you get a little webcam shot of what the view is like from those seats. The field is always in great shape. I'm very sentimental about baseball. Summer to me doesn't feel started, or completed, unless I have spent an evening at the ballpark--especially that feeling you get when half the light is from the stadium lights and half the light is still from the ambient. In all of sports, no other time of day feels so emblematic of being at the game. Safeco is a big enough ballpark that it changes how teams play, and how the Mariners build their roster--hitters have to hit the ball farther to clear the wall for a home run, fielders have to run a lot farther to catch hit balls. For a certain kind of baseball fan, that makes the whole game a lot more interesting to watch, and it also makes the whole experience of being there feel a lot more monumental, 'cause the place is so big. I love this place. read more

Cool stadium, reasonably priced tickets, good food options, decent fans who won't get on your case if you're wearing the opponents team colors, and you get a good view of the field regardless of where you sit. I also like the open fence near the bullpen so you get an up close and personal glimpse of the relief pitchers warming up, and a clear shot of their nice a$$! I've visited a bunch of stadiums, and I wouldn't say this is one of my favs. Overall, great stadium, but nothing too spectacular. read more

Safeco Field is unquestionably one of the finest ballparks in the whole world. Am I a bit prejudiced? Maybe a little, but it's true! Safeco is elegantly designed, user friendly and the views are spectacular. You don't have to love baseball to enjoy all that the park has to offer. If you are not a baseball fan, you'll go nuts for the incomparable city and Puget Sound views, diverse food options and unique diversions that abound. Every seat is a good one and with the retractable roof, a rainy game doesn't need to be a deterrent, which isn't the case at our other stadium, which can become a soggy mess in any downpour. I love Safeco, even when our team sucks, which is, unfortunately, quite often. Go to the park, bring your out-of-town guests and have some fun. read more

Truly a Very Classy Ballpark, I haven't been to many but it has to be one of the Best !! Just the retractable roof makes it pretty unique, No rain-outs here !! Although not really a lot of rain in the summer (Our little secret). Located near Elliot Bay, there is a Beautiful View of the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Just a beautiful summer night with the roof open as well as the Sunday day games. There's just not a bad seat in the house. Sometimes it's nice just to walk around the park. Lots of places to lean and watch the game too ! A Kid's Play area, a "Photo with the Moose" area, Beer and Drinks in the Pen, Various Souvenirs, Lots to see ! Wide Variety of Food to shop around for, Tacos at Edgar's Cantina, Grilled Cheese, Grilled Crab & Cheese, Burgers from Seattle's own "Kidd Valley" Wings & Pizza..... and of course a Mariner Dog. I haven't even touched on all the food choices on the 200 Level as well as the Hit It Here Café !! This park also strives for fans to have a "Family Friendly" environment!! Everyone I've met and worked with from time to time has echoed that theme. Fans should always want to return and as best that I can see...... the Fans respond. I have heard several comments on the Great service at Safeco Field. Now all we just need a trip to the World Series !! A Great Place to watch America's Pastime !! Go Mariners !! read more

WOOT! We had the best time here. It was our last night in Seattle and I left with some garlic-fry breath fo' sho! So, the place is beautiful, with great seats all over, fun atmosphere, and yummy treats. You also get seagulls and the train whistle, which I enjoy! read more

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS ONLY A REVIEW ON THE SAFECO FIELD TOUR, THE PARK IS ACTUALLY A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO SEE A GAME BUT THE TOUR IS SO NOT WORTH IT** Please save your money and don't do the safeco field tour. It's $12 and one hour of my life I will never get back. I take lots of ballpark tours, the best tours emphasize history and the park surroundings. I did a tour four years ago. The tour guide at least attempted back then to talk Mariners history. However when we had to correct a lot of her misinformation, that was a problem. We took one this year, hoping to catch the changes in the park for Ken Griffey Jr. Our first issue was that one of the tour participants was Italian and didn't know much about baseball. The guide ended up mansplaining most of baseball, in general, and nothing really about the team. I have a baseball BLOG. Didn't need the condescension. Furthermore we spent about 30mins in the visitor clubhouse, saw really nothing of the stadium and NOT ONCE did they mention Baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr, whose number was retired by Seattle across all levels and got in by the largest margin of voting?! Nope. Didn't talk about him or his history. Hell we were lucky to at least get pictures of the Griffey 24 number in the outfield. We would have been better served doing a self guided tour because at least I know more about Mariners history than Bob the tour guide. And yes that was his name. Bad bad bad all around. Shame on you Mariners. Such a great stadium, but can't be bothered with someone who can do it well and appreciate the history. Also might want to consider including a look through the Pacific Northwest baseball history museum there. That's actually informative. read more

Safeco Field holds a special place in my heart. It's the place where I grew into a full-fledged baseball fan over the past 15 years of my life. It's also the place where I had my high school graduation ceremony, I've gone to friends Bar Mitzvah celebrations here, I've gone on dates here... this place is a large part of who I am as a person. I've been to a few different baseball stadiums up and down the west coast and Safeco Field is definitely one of the best. The view of the field is pretty good no matter where you sit, the food options are fantastic (and improving rapidly! Ethan Stowell is now helping to craft some of the food items), and the retractable roof makes every game watchable regardless of how uncooperative the Seattle weather may be. We have brought out of town friends and family here for games and they always marvel at how much better it is relative to their home baseball park. The 'pen is a lot of fun too. Since I've reached the legal age of drinking, I've spent more and more time over here when I go to the games. Beers are expensive, and you're making a tacit agreement with yourself that you're not going to see much of the game when you hang out down there. But it's fun nonetheless. Even if you're not a huge baseball fan, I would highly recommend you come check out Safeco Field for the food and atmosphere. There are nary a few places I'd rather be on a warm summer evening! read more

Take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd! Very fun and exciting, best when it's sunny and warm out. The stadium is beautiful. It has a giant TV (2418 inches wide). And it is illuminated with LED lights (first stadium in the nation). Tickets are really cheap, because the Mariners are not doing very well. I always get free tickets from friends. I often hang at the beer garden, or sit behind the 3rd base line, near the King's Court. K, K, K, ahhh... what. A lot of people sit as close as they can to the field. Even if their tickets says 300 level bleachers seats, no body really checks, unless you're a knuckle head. A lot of options for food & drinks, but expensive. Parking near the stadium is expensive. Both are normal. Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks. I don't care if I never get back. read more

I have made it a goal in life to go to all of the major league ball parks, so I had to come here while I was in Seattle! And let me tell you this stadium is amazing. Not only is public transit really close by, but it's just easily assessable from all forms of transportation! A cool think with this stadium is that the roof opens and closes, now as a Giants fan I don't frequent a closed stadium so this was seriously a treat not to mention that I got to see the entire top open! Also the tickets are very reasonably priced. I paid 30$ to sit front row bleachers behind the bull pen. I couldn't have asked for a better place to sit! The employees here are super fun to chat with! They are not only open to you not being a Mariners fan but they also give you some nice tips about the ball park and neat places to go in the park as well. read more

Beautiful ball park to watch the Mariners play. The wonderful aroma of garlic fries flow through the stadium. A hot summer day game is by far my favorite with the roof wide open. My most memorable experience was when my wife surprised me with tcikets to opening day a few years back when Ken Griffey Jr. returned to play for the Mariners. It was such an amazing day watching Griffey run out from center field and eveyone in the stands standing and cheering as loud as possible. It sent a chill down my spine and gave me goose bumps. By far one of the best gifts I have ever received. I have been to quit a few M's games and sat behind home plate to both the first and third base sides and up in the cheap seats. There is not one bad seat in the house. I love Safeco Field. There is wide variety of food to choose from so there is no way you can go hungry during a game. read more

Safeco is a great ball park, one of the best and food selection is great. Very well run and easy to navigate. First ten rows of seats are cushioned. Great sight lines everywhere. The moving roof and trian whistles are super! I now live directly across from Coors Field in Denver and I will give the edge to Coors, its not quite as full of vagrants and the parking is better.It also has much more involved fan base. read more

Safeco happens to be my favorite baseball stadium in America, and nothing will ever change that. I love walking in the entrance with the chandelier of baseball bats, I love the garlic fries... I like that you can order sushi and thai food. But more than that I love the colors. Everything always appears so vividly, wild shades of blue and green jump out at you. Also, the rooftop is open far more often than people think. I always have people assuming it'll be closed just because we're in Seattle.... hello?!?!? it's not always raining here! My fantasy job has always been to be the person who gets to pick the music for each player as they walk up to bat. My only complaints are: I have yet to find a good polish sausage there - the kind that you pile high with brown mustard (also can't find) and saurkraut, my other complaint: ticket prices are a bit high for my taste. read more

Good game tonight. Yes we lost, but since we expected it, we just enjoyed ourselves, especially with the extremely pricey food! We'll consider it a treat... A very lovely field. While leaving the stands, I was surprised by all the garbage. Which is even more surprising when you think, wow, they really do clean it up good if they can keep this place in vibe. $17 for some seats by the score board. Sadly, no home runs there. But even the bleachers are comfortable. If you want to move up, just wait a few innings; they'll check you. Although, we had no complaints about the bleacher seats, so we just remained there (we usually move up... Lala). $6 for Garlic fries. $5 3 scoop ice cream $8.25 for beer $3.25 for cotton candy (gone in seconds) $0.00 (technically) sneaking in own water. Nothing is cheap when people stop going to ball games because they don't wanna see the home team lose. Nothing is cheap even when people do come - holy, I bet when the Yankees come, not only will the fans multiply, everything that has a price tag will multiply two-fold! Great game nonetheless. Buy your tickets at a store - bought mine in the Alderwood mall. Simple and fast, no extra fees. read more

After 18 years, this stadium is still looking and working great! Crowds move easily around the corridors. There seems to be adequate rest rooms and they are generally clean. Food service is good BUT seems a little high. $6 for a small bag of Cracker Jacks? (not the size it was a few years ago). The stadium staff is extremely helpful and courteous. One down point - it may be a rule of major league baseball, but you have to go through metal screening to enter. My 1.5 inch pocket swiss army knife was confiscated (they did offer to return it at the end of the game). Do they really think I'm going to hold 20,000 fans hostage with the tooth pick tool? read more

One of the best parks in the US. Clean (thank you for that), good food options, and very helpful attendants whichever way you turn.

SAFECO field what's not to love...oh I know the smell of the garlic fries, sorry all you garlic fry fan lovers... Other than that I love the place there's not really a bad seat in the house, but to be honest I've only sat in the 300 section once, too high up for me I felt like the seats needed seat-belts in them so I wouldn't fall out. If you're like me and don't care for the smell of the garlic fries don't grab seats on the third base side go for first base it smells much better over there. Every where else I've sat I've had a good time and enjoyed myself. The center-field beer garden is a fun time, the beer however can break the bank but you know what you're at a game you need a beer or two or three. The park is beautiful and the views of downtown and the sound are amazing and if you catch it at sunset you can have some amazing photo opportunities. read more

Nothing can beat the Oakland Coliseum in my book, but this field is a damn close second. Turn Back the Clock night was a blast! We loved the seating, the roof, the fresh air, the train sounds and the nice crowd. The only gripes I have are the cost of tickets (like $10-15 more per section than what I'm used to) and the lackluster food. Driving to the game and parking in a $15 lot across the street was awesome and way easier than everyone lead us to believe. Oh, I'll be back. Nice job, Seattle! read more

I might be bias since I'm a Mariners fan but this is probably the nicest/cleanest stadium I have been to. There are lots of variety of food/drinks/desserts. And the stadium recently got new LED lights and a hugeeee screen, which are awesome! Even the roof can open and close depending on the weather, since Seattle rains a lot; this is crucial to have. I suggest getting the dippin dots if you are ever here for a game. One of the few places in WA that still has dippin dots. Food can be expensive here but you CAN bring in your own food. No need to hide it when you go through security hah. Just no liquids. Pro tip: save your money and do not park in the garages (Way overpriced). Carpool and park near krispy kremes where you can score a free parking spot if you come early. OR ride the sounder train or the bus to get here because it gets crowded and parking can be $20+.. read more

Safeco Field. Some say it's the stadium Griffey built. Maybe the House of Dave Niehaus. Maybe the '95 ALCS game of shifting tide proportions. Whatever it is you believe that which conjured up the Safe, it's a totally legit and awesome reason. To me, I think Griffey with the '95 ALCS plus the crippling old Kingdome brought it forth. It's a truly wonderful stadium and I love the deep green paint job. It's like a vintage green meets outdoors-y Seattle green (with a hint of Starbucks... ha..ha...ha). The retractable roof melds both elements together and has graceful arches. Lots of seats are great; some are okay. I'm a little biased because my left eye is blind so I basically don't like seats where I turn my head left. The food is standard awesome stadium fare with some more 'gourmet'-type offerings having evolved over the years... I actually thought I scored great garlic fries with little/no salt but then the garlic was overpowering... le sigh. Tasty, though. I haven't been in the foo-foo sections or tried the Hit It Here Cafe but hope to try that one day. Go M's. Good game. GG. Have fun. HF. Good luck. GL. read more

Beautiful stadium! Can't go wrong with the Seattle Mariners and a retractable roof for rainy days! There really isn't a bad seat in the house unless you are directly in the sunlight on our sunny days. The ushers are always so friendly and helpful as well. I highly suggest parking a ways as if you're close to the stadium, it gets pretty pricy. There are a lot of busses that stop near by so I'd suggest paying at a cheaper lot and grabbing a bus or the first hill light rail, or if you're in the south end, taking the sounder train in! Over all, It's no Kingdome, but it is a lot more airy and the retractable roof is a god send! Can't wait for my next game! read more

One of my favorite stadiums to visit. Great food, great shopping and great beverage selections. I think the initial entry is my least favorite. You are never really sure what gates will be open and sometimes it does even take a while to get your tickets scanned. There is not a bad seat in the house, which means that you can get tickets from any broker or pay any amount and you are guaranteed a stellar view. read more

I really like Safeco. Its a nice walk from Downtown, most seats have great sightlines, the ballpark food is very good, some decent craft Beers. What i dont like is that the couple of times i have been here those pesky Mariners beat my beloved Red Sox. Even during our recent WS year we seem to have no luck in Seattle, well at least the crowd is fun natured & very large % Red Sox Fans read more
