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:
- vs Angels, August 2022
- Jackie Robinson Day, April 2023
- vs White Sox, June 2023
- Game 162, the final game of the 2023 regular season
- vs Astros, July 2024
- vs Rangers, September 2024
- vs Yankees, September 2024
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.
- vs Giants, October 2022
- vs Jets, New Year’s Day 2023
- vs Rams, the 2023 home opener
- vs Broncos, the 2024 home opener
- vs Cardinals, November 2024
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.
