Did you know?

As we travel from one Major League Baseball stadium to the next, we are really enjoying how each stadium is completely different and has its own character, history, and architecture. Here are a few of the unusual facts about Safeco Field that we found especially interesting.

Facts Unique to
Safeco Field

THE ROOF

The ballpark’s one-of-a-kind retractable roof is designed to cover but not enclose the ballpark, thus preserving an open-air environment.
The structure covers nearly 9 acres, weighs 22 million pounds, and contains enough steel to build a skyscraper 55 stories tall.
The roof is self-grounded (in the event of lightning strikes) and is designed to withstand 6-7 ft. of snow and sustained winds of up to 70 mph.

GOING GREEN

In 2014, the Seattle Mariners became the first Major League Baseball team to illuminate the playing field with LED lights.
BASF and Cedar Grove Compost have joined with the Mariners to create an Urban Garden at Safeco Field. Located behind the 401′ marker on the center field wall, the garden produces vegetables and herbs that are incorporated into the ballpark menu including greens for the Hit It Here Salad and radishes used as garnish for the Northwest Mex tacos at Edgar’s Cantina

Our Reflections on the Game

Advice and reflections from the Glanville Team

Thoughts from James

Safeco Park does NOT sell iceees and that was disappointing! It was our first game in the rain and we were happy that Safeco park has a retractable roof! We enjoyed a game called wheel of dance between innings and even made it onto the dance cam!
John enjoyed the crab sandwich that the park is famous for and craft beers! So far it has been our coldest game at 55 degrees. The park was within walking distance of downtown and our hotel. Everyone was polite and friendly so we had a good experience minus the ICEE.James

Christie’s Thoughts

I will add that food was great and the fans were welcoming. It was tough to have the Mariners lose at home; it was a close game. When we arrived it was raining, and in true Seattle style the sun was out for us to leisurely walk home from the stadium.Christie
