IdahoBert Posted October 3 Posted October 3 If anyone other than the Tigers were playing against the Mariners in this series, I would begrudgingly root for the Mariners. It’s a nice ballpark. I saw the Tigers play there when Carlos Guillén was still on the team so it had to be 2011 or before. Strolling along the waterfront area before the game almost 2/3 of everybody was wearing Tigers gear. The Tigers lost 3-1. The roof was open and it was a really great atmosphere. Quote

IdahoBert Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Saturday and Sunday weather for Seattle looks like moderate fall weather so the roof should be open. Quote

I’ll be in this section 337, a few rows up from where this pic was taken. So pretty high up, but overall a nice enough seat. The Tigers’ dugout is on the 3rd base side. Paid US$225 for a single on StubHub, all-in after fees (exorbitant) and taxes. More than I’ve ever paid for a baseball ticket, but road playoff baseball is a rare chance. 7 Quote

Only thing I didn't care for (if I remember correctly) is that the stadium is off on its own. It was easy enough to get to by tram, but there was nothing else around it (except the football stadium).

Yeah it is not like Detroit where you have a bunch of bars and shops within a couple of blocks. Seattle’s stadium area has the odd one, but it’s not until you walk the 3/4 of a mile to the International District and Pioneer Square that you get critical mass. Given that there is a soccer game in the nearby football stadium kicking off a couple of hours before the baseball game, I might park for free 10 miles north of the city and take the cheap public transit train right to the stadium. That’s what I did when I saw the Wolverines play the Washington Huskies (different football stadium) last October. Super smooth on the way in, the problem is the station line-ups after the game.

I definitely prefer the Detroit, Cubs, Minnesota, St Louis arrangement of having the park downtown and adjacent to bars/restaurants. It creates a gameday vibe that you just can't replicate by shuttling everyone in or having giant parking lots (KC). And I agree, the tram in was way easier than the tram out, but it was still easier/faster than the tram out in Chicago (White Sox). That one is a nightmare, with virtually everyone taking the same tram. Quote
IdahoBert Posted October 3 Posted October 3 This will be the first Mariners game I will have watched in several years because I am blacked out because I reside in “Mariners country”and I’m not interested in having a cable subscription. Granted I would never watch them just for the sake of it, but when the Tigers play them I can’t see the game on TV. Quote

Saw Tigers play there on on Friday night this year and it was actually not a bad stadium experience, other than the fact that you might as well be on a desert island when outside the park. Sure, they have bars/restaurants inside, but of course the prices are exorbitant. Quote
lordstanley Posted October 3 Posted October 3 The Athletic makes its LDS predictions and the staff is unanimous in picking Seattle. Fine, I don't argue with Seattle being the favorite, especially after the Tigers' collapse. But the write-ups are a little over the top, IMO, as to how lopsided this is. Keep in mind, through 150 games this season, going into the final 2 weeks of the regular season, the Tigers had a better record than the Yankees and Dodgers and were 3 games ahead of Seattle. The Mariners won 90 games this year, the Tigers won 87. The Mariners scored 8 more runs in 2025 than the Tigers. The Tigers allowed 3 fewer runs in 2025 than the Mariners. Reminds me of Dan Dickerson's comments in 2006 after the Tigers eliminated the Yankees, saying if one were to listen to the media beforehand the 95-win Tigers team was the junior varsity going up against the unstoppable 97-win Yankees. 1 Quote
