Insider Tips

01

The One Thing

Eat the Ichiroll at Edgar's Cantina in right field. A salmon sushi roll named for Ichiro Suzuki, available only at this stadium, and genuinely good.

02

Check the Roof

Check the Mariners website before you go. Open-roof games with the Space Needle visible are the best T-Mobile Park experience.

03

Arrive Early

Get there early enough to see the roof mechanism. Walk to the Space Needle viewpoint in the upper deck first base sections.

04

Stay Late

If the roof is open for an evening game, stay after the final out and look at the Seattle skyline. Worth 10 extra minutes.

05

Parking Reality

Link Light Rail's SoDo station is a 10-minute walk. The train from downtown Seattle takes less than 10 minutes.

06

Best Value Seat

View Level sections 300–325 on the first base side. Good sight lines, best Space Needle view, lower prices.
