T-Mobile Park is one of the most underrated ballparks in Major League Baseball. Not only does the home of the Seattle Mariners feature a retractable roof to allow for play no matter what the weather brings, fans are also treated to the most fantastic food and beverage array in the game. Whether you're looking for ballpark classics like nachos, hot dogs, and beer, or something a little out of left field, like Hawaiian barbecue, dim sum, or even grasshoppers (yes, the bugs!), there's something to please every palate at T-Mobile Park. Combine great eats with tasty drinks and a gorgeous view of downtown, and you've got an experience that can't be beat.
Parking around T-Mobile Park can be very expensive and difficult to come by, but thankfully the Link Light Rail is conveniently located within an easy walk of the stadium from the aptly named Stadium station. Plus, the gameday atmosphere when you're riding the light rail extends the fun both before and after the game. Remember to bring your clear bag to the game and leave your backpacks and purses in your Seattle Southside hotel room.
