I didn’t think I would be following up on that Mariners trip with another one so quickly. But here I am!
I had no plans on going to another game, especially since I had crossed the stadium in the 2024 season. But there I was in 2025 with another opportunity and many hours to kill, so I went with my coworkers to watch another Mariners game. I am not one to complain about seeing more baseball. And this night was a lot of fun.
The start it off, it was Bark at the Park night! Dogs are allowed in the stadium if you can’t infer from the title. There were a lot of cute dogs. Let me tell you!
With this added opportunity to see T-Mobile Park, I could walk around more and get better angles of the stadium.
There is a gorgeous baseball bay chandelier as you enter behind the home plate gate. It isn’t gaudy or ostentatious. It feels appropriate. They almost look like snowflakes against the stark, dark ceiling and surroundings.
This time around, I had a truly great view of the game. Not that I didn’t have a great view before, but this view offered me a new perspective. We were positioned behind the Seattle dugout, and when the lighting was just right, I could snag a shot with the city skyline over left field.
I will keep this one brief so there will be more photos and less expounding on my trip. Except when it comes to the dogs!
I was trying to snag as many dog photos as I could. There were dogs in jerseys, dogs in hats, and dogs wearing scarves. It was so damn cute.
Then they started the “Simba Cam” and I couldn’t put my phone done. If you’re unfamiliar with Simba, he’s from The Lion King, and there is a scene at the beginning of the movie where Rafiki holds up the next king – a lion cub, Simba. He shows him off to the entire animal kingdom, and it’s a fantastic scene when you couple that with the music from Hans Zimmer and Elton John. But you knew all of that. I’m now only adding words to increase my word count for this piece…even though I just said I wouldn’t write as much this time. My bad.
Here are dog photos:
Gah!! Too cute!
Once the dog-centric things subsided, it was back to baseball. The Trashtros took the lead late in the game, and Seattle could not string together hits to save their life. But save their life, they did! They scored two runs in the bottom of the 8th inning to retake the lead and closed it out in the 9th. Exciting baseball!
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the Salmon Run or Mariner Moose again. So, here they are in photo form:
Overall, it was another successful baseball stadium trip.
There really wasn’t any reason for me to write about Seattle again except for the dogs I saw, and I got a clear picture of Mariner Moose this time. They also had the roof closed, a first for me in a place not named Tampa or Arizona.
Seattle is a nice stadium, and I wrote about it twice.
