2008.05.31 - An afternoon with the Mariners
< Back to Currently
                 
Our ticket packet has most of the games on Friday and Saturday, which makes it nice... they're not doing all that well this year, but that's OK... its Baseball, so its still fun!

We got to the stadium about 45 minutes before the game... in 2001, we would have had to have parked quite a few blocks away, but this season, it was easy to find a place in the garage right across the street from the stadium.

My two favorite people!

As usual, we were nearly the only people in our section... it makes ordering a hot dog pretty easy!

They opened the roof just before the game started.

About 15 minutes before game time, the crowd REALLY packed in!

It was Spanish Heritage night, and they had a presentation of dancers before the game.

I'm glad that he seems to genuinely have fun at the games... =]

In the third inning, it started raining, and they closed the roof again.
It sure looks different with the roof overhead!  Its louder, which is nice, because there weren't a whole lot of people there.  Even the "filled" sections only had 2/3's of the seats taken...

We stayed till the 7th inning stretch, then left after "Louie, Louie", Safeco Field's rip-off of Fenway's "Sweet Caroline".

We listened to the rest of the game on the way home... luckily, its more about the time out as a family than it is watching them win!  =]
