Description: SAFECO FIELD & KINGDOMEThe Seattle Mariners, a Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in Seattle, Washington, have had two primary stadiums in their history: the Kingdome and T-Mobile Park (previously known as Safeco Field). Each stadium has played a significant role in shaping the team's identity and experiences for their fans. Kingdome (1977-1999): The Seattle Mariners played their inaugural season in 1977 at the Kingdome, a multi-purpose, domed stadium. The Kingdome was known for its massive concrete structure and versatility, serving as a venue for football, baseball, and other events. It could be configured for baseball with retractable seats and a turf field. The Kingdome hosted some memorable moments in Mariners history, including Randy Johnson's no-hitter in 1990 and Ken Griffey Jr.'s meteoric rise to fame. However, the stadium's design had drawbacks, including poor acoustics and a lack of natural grass, which led to a less-than-ideal baseball atmosphere. Safety concerns and maintenance issues eventually led to its demolition in 2000, making way for a new baseball-specific stadium. T-Mobile Park (1999-present): T-Mobile Park, originally named Safeco Field, opened in 1999 as the Mariners' new home. This stadium was designed specifically for baseball, featuring a retractable roof to accommodate Seattle's unpredictable weather while maintaining an open-air feel. The field uses natural grass, and the stadium's design emphasizes fan comfort and sightlines. T-Mobile Park has a capacity of over 47,000 and includes modern amenities, luxury suites, and various food and beverage options. T-Mobile Park has witnessed several notable moments in Mariners history, including Ichiro Suzuki's historic rookie season in 2001, the Mariners' record-tying 116-win season that same year, and Felix Hernandez's perfect game in 2012. The stadium has become a beloved part of Seattle's sports culture, with its iconic left-field terrace known as "The 'Pen" and the Mariners' Hall of Fame located on the premises. The combination of a classic baseball atmosphere and modern amenities makes T-Mobile Park a popular destination for baseball fans and an ideal home for the Seattle Mariners.
