Baseball in the Rainy City

Opened in 1999 as Safeco Field, T-Mobile Park brought baseball into Seattle’s modern era while keeping it uniquely Northwest. From its retractable roof to its seafood-heavy concessions, this is a ballpark built for the city it calls home.

The Roof That Doesn’t Close You In

T-Mobile’s roof isn’t just retractable — it’s more like an umbrella. It protects the field from rain without enclosing the stadium, so fans can still enjoy fresh air and a skyline view even when the weather turns.

Combine that with views of Puget Sound and Mount Rainier on a clear day, and you’ve got one of the most scenic stadiums in baseball.

Classic Northwest Baseball Moments

  • Ichiro Suzuki’s debut season in 2001, which helped the team tie the MLB record with 116 wins.

  • 2018 All-Star farewell for Ichiro in Japan.

  • 2022 AL Wild Card comeback — erasing a 7-run deficit in Toronto to return to Seattle for playoff baseball.

T-Mobile has grown into a symbol of Mariners resilience and energy.

Quirks That Make It Seattle

  • The Pen — a fan-accessible bullpen area where you can watch pitchers warm up from just feet away.

  • Garlic fries, sushi rolls, and Dungeness crab sandwiches.

  • The "Hit It Here" Café in right field — tempting power hitters with free meals for landing one inside.

Make a Splash in the Pacific Northwest

From an Ichiro tribute to Julio Rodríguez fireworks, your Mariners moment deserves more than a memory. Commemorate it with a FanStub designed for the Emerald City faithful.
