Being from Seattle I can tell you a few things: the centerfield bleachers are a nod to old stadiums, you used to only be able to buy tickets on game day, and the centerfield bleachers are actually quite popular amongst fans. The left field area is very popular with fans, it gets very crowded because people love to hangout around there, it’s quite cool to be able to walk around the stadium and not miss a pitch, which you can do on the 100 level. I think they should keep the seating capacity, if we are a perennial playoff team those seats will be very profitable during sellouts. Honestly I don’t think our ballpark needs a large scale renovation, but a few small things could be done
My Mom took me to a lot of M's games in the old Kingdome. Those were great times with my family but I do not miss the Kingdome. I'm glad that my kids have had T-Mobile field. It's a much better experience.
Clearly hasn’t been to T Mobile Park. For all the talk about left field it’s actually one of the most fun areas as a fan starting with Edgar’s cantina and then the restaurants behind the bullpen and ability to view and interact with the bullpen. Sure you could do things with seating, but you lose a very nice fan experience open to everyone. You’d actually have to go to the park to experience it, but for me it’s the most enjoyable park to just walk around I’ve been to. I’ve been to about a third of the ball parks.
the pictures dont do it justice! ive been to like 15 ball parks. I can tell you, I havent been to another stadium with outfield standing room that T-mobile has!
I've sat in the left field bleachers, above the Cantina and bullpens, that's a great and affordable place to watch a game. There are also a number of good food stands in the bullpen area, and in the past those were opened to fans before Seahawks and Sounders games at next-door Lumen Field.
The ballpark actually just got a $55 million upgrade a couple of years ago, so it will be several more years before any major redesign or enhancements.
There's discussions going on between the city of Seattle and the Seattle Mariners about building a new stadium on the water in a few years, possibly to beat Portland out from getting the Mariners.
@@neveahsugden210 I actually work at King County, which managers the bond that funds major capital improvements. There are currently no discussions about a new ballpark in Seattle, partly because all partners -- including the Mariners -- want to keep it close to the expanding light rail line.
@chadlewis4079 I heard different I have a friend who works for the front office of the Mariners and he said there trying to find new ownership for the Seattle Mariners and that it's possible that relocation is a possibility and that Portland is at the top of the list if new ownership decides to move the Mariners...hopefully the Mariners make it to the playoffs and win a WS otherwise they could be leaving Seattle for good.
@@neveahsugden210 That’s structurally impossible for several reasons, including the sea wall isn’t structurally strong enough to support an entire stadium. The city is already wrapping up its multi-billion waterfront redevelopment with no plans for a new waterfront stadium. I’m not trying to be a jerk about this - it’s just never going to happen for 100 different reasons.
T-Mobile Park is a very awesome ballpark. I think the vast majority of anything they do to T-Mobile would be purely infrastructure, to extend its life expectancy. About the only actual renovation piece that could happen would be the right-field upper deck.
I have a cool Picture inside of Safeco Field, in March 5, 2000. The Kingdome, was still in the background. The roof operates using water power. Like uncoiling a garden hose, to push the sections of roof. When you come from the Sea-Tac Airport, coming into Seattle on I-5, Safeco Field looked like a, "Thing." I was like , "WTF is that!" It was Safeco Field. I had to take the Stadium Tour. Griffey signs were still all over. It rains more in New Orleans, than in Seattle.
I have been sitting in section 340's regularly since i got put there by accident one time.Just loved it and i always buy my tickets for those sections 340-345 see the whole field and bull pens awesome.This year i just realized that this stadium is turning 25 years old...Where has the time gone......NOT FAIR.
Dude is just talking out of his ass for 10 min. Anyone who's been there knows this is a great top-tier ballpark. Also just doing a little bit of research would've revealed the fact that it's been getting consistent minor upgrades ever since it opened.
I find it interesting though. He's speculating on things they COULD do to improve. He knows its a top tier park but there's always improvements that could be made. Should be fun to see his take on parks that aren't as good
Just went to Tmobile park for the first time and I gotta say wow it’s aged really well. It’s a great ball park. Also they planted little pine trees in the batters eye! We just gotta wait for them to grow
They're never gonna do anything to "The 'Pen." It's a huge draw for a lot of fans. And it is actually pretty cool if you show up early. Also, they just upgraded the press box area with a huge renovation. They made it into a second exclusive club area. Don't think they'll be doing anything else for at least a few years.
I attended the very first game at *Safeco Field, I know this place well. I'll say this, there are zero options in the area to move to, zero, that's the spot. Luckily they *could do nothing and be just fine for another ten years if the team is decent, people here don't care about the bells and whistles so much. They'll do *something, I wouldn't expect much. The place is in excellent shape for it's age, there really is little TO do honestly. The batters eye, bit of a history there, was green, had trees n shit initially, but the black stuff was put in because the angle of the sun was bad. Why the trees have never gone back in.....? That could easily happen.
T-Mobile Park is one of my top 5 parks in the entire league, it's the best of the roofed or retractable roof stadiums in the league to me. It's got the perfect balance of outdoor and indoor baseball, and it's absolutely gorgeous, it reminds me of Coors Field in that spectrum. It should get to the 2050s with renovations here and there. It's in the perfect location and doesn't need to be replaced. The more it ages, the more it becomes a draw similar to Wrigley, Fenway, Dodger Stadium, and other classic ballparks like that in due time.
In the 1960s, the small 33,000 - 35,000-seat stadiums were replaced with 50,000 to 55,000-seat facilities. (Dodger Stadium, Shea Stadium in NY, Veterans Stadium, Phila., new stadiums in Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Cincinnati, etc.). Now, stadiums are getting smaller, back to 38 - 40,000 capacity. Naturally, ticket prices are higher to make up for the smaller capacity.
Center and left field bleachers are cheap and great spot to watch the game, also nostalgic old school park feel. I love the bullpins, literally you can walk right up to the pen and be 10 ft from your favorite pitchers. I was 10 ft from Shohei watching him throw that’s sick. Also the players in the pen will interact with fans which is awesome. Also there is open area right in center field where you can grab a beer and be right of the warning track. I would hate to see that go I love that spot. Open air no walls 100 level is so sick you can walk around the whole park and see everything. I love this ball park I wouldn’t change a thing.
The summers here are very comfortable: 80 degrees, little humidity, and no rain. We are getting hotter summer temperatures now, but only once a decade do we get anything over 100 degrees. It's the spring and the fall when the roof closes because of rain.
Interesting take take on Safeco Field... I mean T-Mobile Park! The batter's-eye area originally had pines as you suggested. I believe it has had at least a couple of iterations before landing on what we have now (purely functional). The way the bullpens are now is such a cool fan experience. You can get right up in there with the players and I wouldn't change a thing about it. I believe the ballpark has recently had renovations and I am skeptical that anything major will happen in the near future. I haven't been to many other MLB ballparks, but this was a 1000% upgrade from the old King Dome. It is a great ballpark for the fans.
Hey DG...Safeco used to have evergreen ivy in the batter's eye...it was HORRIBLE and made it impossible to see the ball in day games. That's why they have the black hole batter's eye.
Forget that noise, greatest ballpark ever built. No need to renovate anything. If you want to spend money put up a couple of affordable housing towers and cut ticket and concession costs or get some better players.
It's a great stadium that is well maintained. It was designed to look like a classic ballpark and IMO that makes it's appearance timeless. I expect continued maintenance and slight upgrades over time but Seattle will be watching games if that ballpark for generations to come.
@paladin677 lmfao you didn't get a reaction you just got told nice try so technically you failed so go back to the troll workshop and work on your trolling. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Safeco Field was an elite name? Bruh, it’s just an insurance company around here. Never understood people losing their shit when it changed to TMobile Park. One corporate stadium name for another.
I went to the game on the 11th. The Upper Right Field stinks. If you love a tan go to Right "Field View:". The Center Field could improve those are the only two things I would do.
PNW locals’ tip: regarding Depressed’s point about trees being a focus, such as in the Batter’s Eye, the huge trees in the regions west of the Cascade Mountains, in which Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver, BC lie, generally are FIR trees, not pine trees (which are the prevailing large trees east of the Cascades due to climate).
T-Mobile Park and SkyDome (yes I still call it SkyDome) are the only retractable roof stadiums that act as an umbrella as opposed to being enclosed like the others.
I do wish indoor/retractable roof MLB stadiums were built with the ability to convert to basketball arenas. That would help a lot of stadiums that have had either attendance or funding issues (Miami, Milwaukee) host Final Fours.
If indoor football stadiums can reconfigure for basketball, so can the baseball stadiums. I wonder if any city with a baseball indoor stadium has made a bid for the Final Four.
Seattle isn’t hosting a final four no matter what they do. Los Angeles hasn’t hosted one since 1975, and isn’t even being considered for one even with SoFi. They won’t host one on the west coast. And if they ever do it would most likely be in Los Angeles.
@@MichaelMeade-d7b Tampa/St. Pete hosted the Final Four at the Trop in 1999, I think (Duke/UConn National Championship game). I think it has to do with the configuration. The olden ways of configuring a massive stadium for a basketball arena is easier than the new way (using the entire field).
@@gregvogel9859 SoFi is still technically an outdoor stadium. Just like Seattle's baseball stadium, its sides are open. Apparently in basketball, that would lead to a lot of condensation on the court, making it impossible to do. Technically, media counts Las Vegas and Phoenix as West Coast region, so that point is moot.Seattle is a major city with more than enough hotel rooms and attractions to host the final four. And they last hosted in 1995, so they definitely can do it.
I wish they would go back to naming stadiums unique names not after companies. Even the middle ground of something like a couple stadiums did where they say something like "whatever company at Mile high" or something to that effect. Where is T-Mobile Park? How many T-Mobile Parks are there? I would even be OK with naming rights for the duration of a stadium’s existence. Yes, the stadium owners what to keep charging companies for naming rights, but this is ridiculous. For example, how many times has the baseball park in SF had its name changed? More than one is too many.
Rogers Communications is the Verizon of Canada. They have their name on three major league stadiums: Rogers Centre (Jays), Rogers Arena (Canucks), Rogers Place (Oilers).
When the Leafs / Raptors got a new arena, the name was great: "Air Canada Centre" or "ACC" for short. Then Air Canada fell on tough times, and the name was changed to Scotiabank Arena. Maple Leaf Gardens was the best name of course, but it wasn't in a great spot and perhaps too old to renovate. Plus, there's big plaza just outside of Scotiabank where they put up huge video screens and fans who don't have tickets can gather for free. It's called Maple Leaf Square when the Leafs play and Jurassic Park for Raptor games.
I went to the cubs series and spent most of the time in theft field watching the bullpen. It was crowded and a gaggle. The right field was noticeably empty, even for the cubs who travel really well. It's really wide open stadium with very little amenities.
If you move the bullpens, you will destroy The Pen, which is one of the best parts of the park. It's a drinking social space that you recommend at every stadium/park video.
...my boss took us to a day game 1999 first base side good times...moved my family back to Montana before the earthquake hit Seattle...Sitting Bull ain't the only Montana native..
When I watched the Mariners play the Texas Rangers in June 2001, I did see them close the roof in the middle of the game. The game was delayed for 10-15 minutes for the roof to close completely.

I do not think Depressed Ginger has ever been to T-Mobile park other than seeing pictures of the ballpark. Then he makes youtube videos and comments on what he sees from pictures. All in the name of creating content for youtube.
It has a modern exterior. Are you talking about modernist design? If so, no. We don't want another squarish concrete and glass building. It's fine the way it is.
No one sits out there because you’re directly in the sun the entire time. This guy doesn’t know ball, give it a dislike & move on he’s missed on all of his other videos too lmao
$600 million for a "renovation"? Let the King County Residents pay for another tax hike! As someone who grew up in Seattle during the 60's and 70's (yes I was there for opening night on April 6, 1977). I can't believe the citizens would tolerate another tax scam.....but hey they've gone WOKE and can't spend tax payer's money fast enough in 2024 King County.

When I watched the Mariners play the Texas Rangers in June 2001, I did see them close the roof in the middle of the game. The game was delayed for 10-15 minutes for the roof to close completely.
T•Mobile ☏℡®™ Park Is A Great Venue! No Air•Con @ All But Still A Great Place For ⚾️!!! Spend 🆙 To $600 *Million* To Renovate It & This Is A 🔝 5 Ball•Park!!!
Make The Roof ETFE So Natural Light Can Shine Through When The Roof Is Closed, Reduce Capacity 35,000 To 42,000, Possibly Add A Glass Window 🪟, Add Drinking Rails, & A Few Other Things.
✍🏾: This Stadium Is Similar To Chase®™ In Phoenix _&_ Great 🇺🇸 Ballpark In Milwaukee.
I do not think Depressed Ginger has ever been to T-Mobile park other than seeing pictures of the ballpark. Then he makes youtube videos and comments on what he sees from pictures. All in the name of creating content for youtube.
I still refer t-mobile park as safeco here and there bc im elder millennial who grew up in pnw my entire life.
They tried trees a few years ago and it failed miserably.
please post roblox
Mob lie 😂 this park is incredible!
Leave it alone other than keeping the paint fresh.
They definitely don’t need another bar and they have already done the trees for the batters eye
North and South Dakota were both really hot last year so Seattle would have been. Not that close together sir.
They better start winning or this will be academic.
I remember the day they demolished the Kingdome. Boom!
It's the PNW, Doug fir trees and not Pine.
Is this where they had wrestlemania 19
Yes. This is the venue for WrestleMania 19.
Have you ever left your mothers basement, to actually attend a game or event at any of these parks????
Probably needs to be torn down , so they can build a new one with a modern exterior and translucent roof
No it just needs a minor renovation.
The scoreboard needs to be much further away from center field!!!!
It has a modern exterior. Are you talking about modernist design? If so, no. We don't want another squarish concrete and glass building. It's fine the way it is.
It will always be Safeco field
No one sits out there because you’re directly in the sun the entire time. This guy doesn’t know ball, give it a dislike & move on he’s missed on all of his other videos too lmao
Elite ballpark
$600 million for a "renovation"? Let the King County Residents pay for another tax hike! As someone who grew up in Seattle during the 60's and 70's (yes I was there for opening night on April 6, 1977). I can't believe the citizens would tolerate another tax scam.....but hey they've gone WOKE and can't spend tax payer's money fast enough in 2024 King County.
Why fix this stadium? It's a beautiful ballpark. This video is dumb.
Don’t listen to this B.S.
This shit is annoying now
Mt rainer
first!
Best stadium in the league
Let’s be honest…there’s no ladies watching this
