    Seattle Game Day Guide: Mariners, Seahawks and Kraken

    Seattle is a great sports town, and I’ve posted from a lot of games over the years. This guide brings them together by team and venue, with a few practical tips for getting to each stadium.

    Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park

    T-Mobile Park (originally Safeco Field) has been the Mariners’ home since 1999. Its retractable roof keeps the rain off but leaves the sides open, so it still feels like an outdoor ballpark.

    The big one: ALDS Game 3 against the Houston Astros on October 15, 2022, the first postseason game in Seattle since 2001, which went 18 innings before Houston won 1–0.

    Other Mariners games I’ve posted:

    Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field

    Lumen Field is known as one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL, thanks to its roof design and the famous 12s.

    Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena

    The Kraken joined the NHL in 2021 and play at Climate Pledge Arena at Seattle Center, rebuilt under the historic roof of the old KeyArena next to the Space Needle.

    Getting there

    • T-Mobile Park and Lumen Field sit side by side in SoDo, just south of Pioneer Square. Link light rail (Stadium and International District/Chinatown stations) and the Sounder train are the easiest options on game days.
    • For Climate Pledge Arena, the Seattle Center Monorail from Westlake Center downtown drops you right next to the arena.
    • Parking near the stadiums fills up and gets expensive on game days, so public transit is usually the way to go.
    • Pioneer Square and the International District have plenty of bars and restaurants for before or after the game.

  • Mariners vs Yankees

    Mariners vs Yankees

    The Seattle Mariners hosted the New York Yankees at T-Mobile Park in September 2024, one of the Mariners’ last homestands of the season.

    T-Mobile Park opened in 1999 (originally as Safeco Field) and is known for its retractable roof, which covers the field but leaves the sides open, so it keeps the rain off without feeling like an indoor stadium. The photos show the view of the field from the stands.

    The ballpark is in SoDo, next to Lumen Field, and is easy to reach on Link light rail or the Sounder train.

  • Mariners vs Rangers

    Mariners vs Rangers

    The Seattle Mariners took on the Texas Rangers at T-Mobile Park in September 2024.

    Mariners–Rangers games carry a bit of extra interest as both teams play in the American League West. The photos show the field and the crowd on a sunny afternoon in SoDo.

    For a good view on a budget, the upper-deck seats behind home plate at T-Mobile Park give a great look at the whole field and the downtown skyline.

  • Seahawks vs Broncos

    Seahawks vs Broncos

    The Seattle Seahawks opened their 2024 season at home against the Denver Broncos at Lumen Field in September 2024.

    Season openers in Seattle always bring a big crowd, and the photos show a packed Lumen Field with the downtown skyline in the background.

    Lumen Field sits just south of Pioneer Square, and Link light rail stops right outside the stadium, which is by far the easiest way to get there on game days.

  • Mariners vs. Astros

    Mariners vs. Astros

    The Seattle Mariners hosted the Houston Astros at T-Mobile Park in July 2024, a matchup between two American League West rivals.

    The photos show the view from the stands on a summer afternoon, with the roof open and the field in full sun.

    Summer games at T-Mobile Park are among the best ways to spend a day in Seattle, and the ballpark’s concourses are packed with local food options.

  • Jackie Robinson Day with the Mariners

    Jackie Robinson Day with the Mariners

    Jackie Robinson Day with the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park in April 2023.

    Every year on April 15, Major League Baseball marks the anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the sport’s colour barrier in 1947, and every player and coach wears his number 42. The photos show the ballpark on the day.

    It’s a special game to attend, with tributes to Robinson’s legacy before the first pitch.
