Safeco Field, Seattle WA - May 20th

Rating - 7.0

It did not exceed my expectations, I had such high expectations. There are many parks that are significantly better: San Fran, Pittsburgh, Rangers, The Cell, Fenway. I did like how all the seats face home plate, but the sun was a bit of a problem.

We bought tickets from a scalper right after the game had started. Paid $20 per for three, and the face value was $32. We got hosed. You could buy the cheapest ticket and sit where ever you like. Sat in Section 115, Row 16, Seat 1.

Food was pretty good (dog) for the ball park, but all the micro brews were expensive ($9.50 I believe).

Fans were only semi interested in the game, they were more into the boat race on the screen between innings.

We left in the 6th inning because one had a tee shirt on, and it got COLD when the sun went down.

Worth a visit, but buy tickets at the box office.
