Q:
Which level has a walking bridge to the park from mariners parking garage?
A:
Either 2nd or 3rd. Not particularly sure on that one. We did come across it when we were last there, but we had to go to ground floor (main entrance) to get our bag checked/security.

A:
There are entry's at home plate by the statues and there are also entry's at right field center field the bullpen the left field and 3rd base. You can also look up T-Mobile Park Maps and you can see the entrances!

Wow, what a cool and well maintained park! This park gives such industrial vibes which speaks for Seattle alone. Ken Griffey Jr. is praised here, as he should be. The moment you walk in, you're welcomed with a huge display of a plethora of bats on the ceiling which is pretty cool. The big screen was awesome. The views upstairs in the bar area was beautiful. The bathrooms were really clean. This was the first stadium we've been to where they had a huge variety of food, even Hawaiian cuisine and Odd Pizza! They didn't have just basic park food. ALL the employees were super nice and helpful. Love how the stadium was indoor AND outdoor. Definitely one of the top 5 we've been to out of 9 we have visited so far.
(I will say, the fan base was sad. We went on Jackie Robinson Day AND Bobblehead night for KGJ and there were soooo many empty seats. Like we literally could've moved down to home plate, that's how sad it was.)Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 357572547Apr 16, 2024Updated review2 check-ins
My second Mariners game! It was on Saturday, 4/13/24, for the 6:40 PM game. Decided to leave the house at 1:45 PM and actually arrived in downtown Seattle by 2:30 PM. But once we got near the ballpark, it was SO frickin' difficult to find parking! First, we went to the Mariners parking garage and askes the attendant and he was asking for $60+ for parking! We decided to drive around for a bit. We saw signs for $55, $50, $45, $35 as we went further away from the stadium. After almost an hour, we decided to park right by Krispy Kreme for $35+. It was about a 1/2 mile away from the ballpark, but at least it was reasonable enough for a parking rate since I wasn't gonna pay $60+ for a bloody parking space!!! Not sure if the rates were that high due to the Tina Fey & Amy Poehler Restless Leg Tour happening at the WAMU Theater as part of Lumen Field at 3:00 PM, but don't recall paying even $30 the last time for a Mariners game.
Getting into the stadium at 5:20 PM was a breeze. Gates opened at 5:10 PM and there were long lines of people, but No Bag Check In lines went pretty quickly. Once inside, walked around to see which vendors were there, what kind of merchandise sales and food purchases were available. Got to check out the Team Store, which was wicked crowded!!! Prices were steep, as expected, but they had a good variety of inventory in hand. Tons of hats, jackets, jerseys, shirts and accessories. Looked around for about 15 minutes before buying an Adjustable Blue Seattle Mariners cap for $28 + tax.
After checking out the Mariners' Team Store, walked around to get some food and refreshments before walking up to our section in 314. Received free tickets, so that was good. Got a free hat for the Salute to the Military Day at the gate as well. Stayed until 4th inning, so about an hour after the game started. By then the Mariners were losing 2-1 to the Chicago Cubs. And we had seen enough, so decided to leave and try to avoid the crowd and traffic rush. Overall, we had a good enough time. Just did not like the fact that we couldn't find reasonably priced parking lots or garages around the area. Event Parking meant you had to pay more than a $25 baseball ticket for one person!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jul 20, 2019Previous reviewA very first timer to this baseball stadium! Decided to see the Mariners vs. Cardinals game at 7:00 PM on a Tuesday evening while in town. Walking inside was nice, pretty spacious, saw a lot of decent food vendors, team store, merchandise stands, and drink vendors. A lot of good options. Got a couple of sodas, water and tried some food. We tried some Chinese food place called Din Tai Fung and also got Garlic Fries. We bought some Seattle Mariners Baseball hats priced at around $20-$35 each. Our seats were in the outfield bleachers, the view was decent of the whole stadium. The bad thing was that the big screen was behind us, so had to turn your back to see it from time to time. After the 5th inning or so, we decided to walk around, get more drinks and find a different seat. The first base side was better, and not as cold and windy as the bleacher side. Overall, we all had a great time watching the game!

The is park is stunning. My first Mariners game. Great vibes and upbeat crowd.
Many long food lines. I had a sausage when I wanted a brat but they ran out. Too long a line for an average sausage on a flavorless bun.
The view from the nosebleeds was amazing. Love seeing the city in the distance. Great peanuts.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 27, 2023Updated review5 check-ins
An amazing spot to come watch the Mariners from any angle! The food selection is ever expanding and quite impressive, the beer selection has a some awesome local options and the retractable roof is fun to watch.
The place is legit and has great stuff for kids and adults alike! Our seven-year-old is always excited to come hang out as he knows he gets to go to the centerfield kids play area after the seventh inning. Our nine and 11-year-olds are excited because you can see the field from just about any advantage point. My wife and I love it because everyone is entertained and there are great food options!
They do a nice job of offering local options as well as more traditional ballpark fare. The Din Tai Fung spot is always busy, and while they don't sell soup dumplings, it's always good. Ivers, fish and chips is a favorite, and the big homer this year was Mojo Pizza! If you go to grab this, you need to expect to wait for at least two innings, unless you go later in the game when they often have the less popular options readily available, but the more popular options continue to require long weight. There are very many things that we will miss two innings for, but the Mojo pizza is one of them! Think old-school little Caesars... That delicious square pizza, only the crust of this is a lot better. It's pricey, but totally worth it.
We've made a habit of going on giveaway nights and Mariners games, and have yet to be disappointed, at least with the experience!
Get excited to go here if you have a chance.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0Apr 1, 2023Previous reviewAn amazing spot to come watch the Mariners from any angle!

For those of us who are around during the time of the kingdom, the upgrade from the worlds largest cement and closure to this field was quite awesome! It's too bad we don't have Ken Griffey Junior still here.
The retractable roof, the eclectic food options and mediocre baseball for the past 15 years has made this a great spot to visit one or two times per year. This past year they had it increased food options including the number of local vendors as well as a spot that sells chili lime crickets... Yep bugs! Air surprisingly good, though you definitely don't need more than one of the small cups of them for a large group. Certainly worth it for the novelty, probably not worth it as your next favorite snack.
With cautious optimism we continue to root for the Mariners and hope that one day we will see the playoffs again! - Mar 2, 2024
I always enjoy myself at a Mariners game. I especially enjoy Bark at the Park! It is such a unique event. They set up the stadium to be super dog friendly and invite local shelters to try and get pups adopted. I think more stadiums should be doing this as well, it's a fun time and really great to see all the fans and their dogs enjoying a game!

T-Mobile Park, formerly Safeco Field, is a fantastic place to take in a ball game! We flew in for a quick trip to Seattle just to enjoy a Mariners game and absolutely had a blast here!
(+) Even though the ballpark opened in 1999, it is still beautifully maintained and fairly easy to navigate.
(+) FOOD! Food options galore here! The options seemed endless here! Prices are still going to be pricey, of course, but these were less gouge-y compared to other ballparks I've recently visited.
I ended up enjoying a wagyu burger at Big League Burger for only $15! Not bad for a ballpark at all! It didn't disappoint either! That burger was delicious!
We also enjoyed some chicken fingers and garlic fries that were pretty good as well.
I also got to try a beer I've never heard of before, Ranier Beer! It was a pilsner (5%) that was light and tasty! Perfect to enjoy at the ball game!
While not as bad as some other ball parks, the prices are still expensive, and you should be prepared for that.
(+) VERY easy to get to and from our hotel to the Ball Park via the light rail. It only cost $3 per person each way! Not only that, but from our downtown hotel it took only roughly 10 minutes each way to get there! Very cheap, easy and convenient! I absolutely love the Seattle light rail for getting around when you can!
(+) Picked up great seats for only $75 each out the door. Not too bad compared to other Ball Parks I've been to recently. The seats were fantastic to boot! Front row of section 223. We had a beautiful, unobstructed view of the field and an outstanding view of some of the Seattle skyline!
(+) Employees were nice and friendly and were very helpful with directions and whatnot.
(-) Souvenir shopping was a bit disappointing for me, at least with the outlets I visited. I'd always rather get something from the Ball Park itself, but nothing struck my fancy lol. Luckily, I picked up some great items at an official team store by our hotel that did the trick. (See separate review)
(-) We saw a game in the last week of the season between the Mariners and the Astros. Unfortunately, the Astros won 5-1. Boo.
Overall, I had a very fun and memorable time here at T-Mobile Park and would absolutely love to go back if the opportunity presents itself!

Seattle, SoDo. August 2023
For a fan, watching baseball played in an open air facility w a beautiful grass field on a sunny day is a wonderful experience. During the comfortable summer months in Seattle, T-Mobile Park is exactly that kind of place. It kind of makes me wonder why they bothered to have a huge retractable roof hovering in right field. The only thing that could be better would be to incorporate more views of the natural beauty of Seattle and Puget Sound.
The ballpark is easily accessible for visitors with an easy downhill walk from downtown, through the Pioneer Square area and a straight path down Occidental past Lumen Field. Therer are a lot of entrances for fans. The Left Field Gate is the most accessible coming from downtown and it almost feels like a main entrance. It features a bronze artwork called The Mitt, by local artist Gerard Tsutakawa. There are also lesser known two entrances between left field and the Home Plate Gate - go into the Mariners Team Store, buy your game gear, and enter the park directly from the store, or use the Third Base Gate to get quickly onto the Main Level.
The fan experience is great if you want to spend the time before a game doing things. The standing room in the outfield has narrow counters where you can put your food and drinks while hanging out - great if you like moving around from your assigned seat. The Main Level from third base, home plate, and first base has a wide concourse where fans are tolerated if they stand and watch the game close up - the only thing is you won't have much of a view of the scoreboards.
There is a lot of good food. A poke bowl is always welcome if you want a simple full meal in a bowl. There is a Din Tai Fung concession and I like the spicy dumplings - cool to eat out of anther small bowl. Ivar's has numerous concessions and eating a bowl of clam chowder while standing and watching the game from the outfield concourse is a good memory. But ... Way Back Crab Shack has their own Yelp page and good Dungeness crab fries and a better crab sandwich. Holy Smoke BBQ also has a Yelp page and I found their BBQ beef brisket moist and tender, still jiggly, and sufficiently tasty that it didn't need any sauce.
As a visiting fan this ballpark is worth a visit during Seattle's beautiful summer. Been here twice and I'll be coming back again.Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Aug 2, 2023
Ok, all you Mariners fans, listen up. I'm a Red Sox fan, but my dad and I traveled to Seattle to watch them play at T-Mobile Park on 7/31/23 and 8/1/23. I live in Las Vegas but all my family is from New England. Plus, we'll be getting the Oakland A's in the next few years.
My dad just retired, and being the die-hard Red Sox fan he is, he's made it an opportunity to follow them all around the country (and Toronto). I think T-Mobile Park is the third baseball stadium that we watched them play in so far (not counting Fenway) and this was the fifth baseball stadium we've been to. We've been suffering from 110+ degree heat these past few weeks back home and I can't explain how NICE it was to sit outside and watch a baseball game in 70-75 degree weather both nights.
We took the train from Pioneer Square to get to T-Mobile Park. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to get to the park from the train station and back. Getting in and finding our seats was super easy and we had a great view of the field! I had their pizza on the first night, which was fresh and delicious! I ended up taking the pizza back with me after the game and had it as leftovers for lunch the next day. On the second night, I shared some fried clams with my dad and got myself an ice cream cone. They had some amazing fried clams here and their ice cream was excellent!
The first game was disappointing, where our Red Sox lost 6-2. The second game was even better, where they won 6-4! Leaving the stadium was a little packed, but not too bad. The bathrooms were clean too!
I took a bunch of photos but Yelp no longer lets me add more than 10 photos at a time when I write a review. More will be added after I publish this.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Jul 19, 2023
Do not come with a go pro
Do not come with a pocketbook
Leave lots of time for lines--lots
Waited on line for 40 minutes then sent packing due to my GoPro. That is despite my iPhone having better optics better camera and being easier to send videos.
Won't come back.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
