📖About T-Mobile Park

T-Mobile Park, home of the Seattle Mariners since 1999, seats 47,929 on a Kentucky bluegrass surface. Originally named Safeco Field, it was renamed T-Mobile Park in 2019 after a 25-year, $87.5 million naming-rights deal. Designed by NBBJ, the ballpark features a retractable roof covering roughly 9 acres that opens and closes in 10–20 minutes. It hosted MLB All-Star Games in 2001 and 2023, and the 2024 NHL Winter Classic.
