Baseball being the fickle unpredictable game it is (see Texas Rangers) if the Mariners continue to play as they obviously can it is entirely possible that they will have the opportunity to enjoy playing in a baseball game on October 27.

They should just record the Scott Servais post game interview after the first loss of the season and just play it after every loss. He says basically the same thing every time.
This team needs some old style Lou Piniella in your face to wake them out of their funk.They won’t get that with Servais.

The last 10 games with the Mariners only playing the Rangers and Astros will be entertaining. If TB keeps playing well one of the previous teams will miss out on the post season. MLB version of musical chairs.
 
An important question for those who attend Mariner's games. What is your go-to choice for menu items while enjoying the game? The last time I visited an MLB park was at Fenway, Ted Williams was playing his last year and the only menu choice I recall was whether or not you wanted onions on your hotdog. Just trying to be prepared for a day taking grandkids to their first game.

Okay have been to 2 games this year and I think I have the food figured out in the stadium. In my opinion, again this is an opinion, and what I suggest for anyone that comes to the game including a seahawks game. EAT OUTSIDE THE STADIUM.

There are tons of food options in the main drag which is our equivalent to a tailgate party. The food is cheaper, fresher, and larger quantities. There is ZERO cash handled in the stadium.

What I DO like is when you order a soft drink you get a sustainable material big gulp size cup that you take home. We have a collection in the cupboard already. You can just keep going to re fill stands and not deal with huge lines again.

Both times I chose to go against my better judgement and got food in the stadium. Just wanted a dog and a beer. The dog was extremely small, the bun was under a heatlamp for so long the bread was already hardening, and they charged me like 12 bucks for that thing.

In conclusion, eat outside the stadium, fill up on some good food, then go in and have a refreshment. Things in the stadiums that I have had that were not low quality was a big soft pretzel, and a bag of cotton candy.
 
Always have to have a sausage dog on Occidental outside the stadium before the game! Dipping dots for the sweet tooth on a warm day. And of course your favorite beverage!

In the Diamond Club you can have pretty much anything you want, and as much as you want.
 
The food truck dudes can be pretty comically aggressive to get you to come and buy their stuff there too. I have heard some funny slogans.

Good point I never thought of that. Money talks. I have always tried to go to M's games as economical as possible. Makes me wonder now what a high roller experience is like at T-Mobile park.

Really hate those Mariner bandwagon type fans, the late to the party types...you know the ones...less than a month ago, runnin' down the GM/Manager sayin' they ain't never gonna amount to nothin'. They go to a game once or twice, become an expert, and even then they are too cheap to buy more than a hot dog.
😁

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

T-Mobile is actually known to have some of the best food out of all the baseball stadiums.

The kids got a cheese pizza from Ballard Pizza by the bullpens and it was quite good. Though I was really tempted by Din Tai Fung. Ended up with garlic fries myself which I seem to always get.

Of course there is better cheaper food outside the stadium. But it's also satisfying to relax enjoy greasy ballpark food with a Rainier which I don't do otherwise.

Here is a website which has a great summary of the options at T-Mobile.

Choose your food adventure at T-Mobile Park this season

The Mariners have added a host of new food and beverage options at the park this season, and there’s something for every kind of day you want to have at T-Mobile

Additionally, if you get a clear bag /backpack you are actually able to bring single serving food with you to the bag. We brought some candy and some beef sticks to munch on. Also cheap truck is to bring in empty plastic water bottles which you can fill at the fountain. It was so hot on Sunday in the bleachers seats that we were really glad we did that.
 
Had a great time at the game yesterday. The solving of the logistical nightmare of readying and provisioning such a facility for events on back to back days is impressive and the crowds enthusiasm for the team is contagious. Even the concessionaires seem to have fun. Though I did not enjoy one I did see an 18" hotdog sold that honors Cal Raleigh. On the menu it is listed as "The Big Dumper."
