We went to our first game of the 2008 Season... it was REALLY good to be back in the familiar hallowed halls of Safeco Field!  It also was the little guy's first game, which made it even more fun than it would have been.  On top of that, the Mariners won the game... it was a GREAT evening!

The drive there was VERY easy!  The traffic didn't back up until right at the end of I-90, right in front of the stadium...

We switched back to our old section... we liked the 'new and improved' one we had last year, but we got a different ticket pack series, and the seats we wanted weren't available... so it was back to where we were... we like it there, though, so it works out.

The little guy seemed to be having a good time checking out the crowd... there was a lot of new things to look at!

I managed to get a GREAT panoramic picture... that's 5 pictures that are "stitched" together... its one of the better one's I've gotten of Safeco.

It felt GREAT to be back AT the game!  It was fun to look at the changes they've made... new plants in the outfield storage area, the "Budweiser" is gone from the "Hit it Here Cafe"... several new advertisements on the wall.

They also had a banner for Dave Niehaus' entrance into the Baseball Hall of Fame ceremony...

 
The game was a lot of fun, too!

Sexton smacked a two-run home run to pull us ahead for keeps...

It was 80 degrees when the game started, and it cooled off a bit once the sun started to slip lower on the horizon... it was a clear, warm Spring night... perfect for baseball!

It was JJ Putz "Soul Patch" night... the little guy fit right in!  :)
