This stadium visit sort of fell into our laps and also
solidified the reality of our dream of attending all the baseball parks at the
same time. My grandparents surprised my family with a cruise to Alaska in the
summer of 2011. Our ship was leaving from Seattle so my family decide to head
to Seattle two days early to see the city before boarding the boat. My mom
had a small gift card she was trying to use at Barnes and Noble and stumbled
onto a cheap tourist guide for Seattle. As she began reading it she saw that
one of the suggestions for Seattle was seeing a Mariner’s Game at Safeco Field.
Carter practically started salivating when he heard this and the rest is
history. There was no way we were leaving Seattle without that field under our
belt.
It was super easy to get the stadium via public transportation
and breathtakingly pristine upon arriving. Come
hungry because Safeco Field has an excellent variety of food. Who needs the classics when you have choices like clam chowder,
salmon sandwiches, sushi, chocolate-covered strawberries, garlic fries,
wok-fried noodles, and an open pit barbecue? I just had to have the garlic fries, whose intoxicating
aroma can be savored for miles.
We sat in the cheap seat in
the upper deck, but I’m glad we did. The upper
deck provides incredible views both inside and outside the ballpark. We could see the surrounding mountains, water and skyline.
Another
significant mention about this stadium was Carter and I could walk freely all
over. It was so cool because it did not matter where our seats where as we
roamed all over into the nooks and plazas taking pictures and surveying the
game. A huge plus!
