Health & Safety Measures
Since T-Mobile Park closed to fans prior to the start of the 2020 season, the Mariners have revamped operations to meet or exceed industry standards in response to COVID-19. Science-based health and safety protocols have been guided by input from public health and medical experts including CDC, DHHS, the World Health Organization as well as University of Washington Health Metrics & Evaluation and Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, the Seattle Mariners “Partners in Health.” Enhanced cleaning protocols use the latest technology and disinfection products that are certified to target suspected or known presence of COVID-19.
The Mariners have received Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR™ Facility certification for T-Mobile Park, a performance-based outbreak prevention, response and recovery accreditation for mitigating risks associated with the virus responsible for COVID-19.
This season, fans will find several new policies and procedures in place to protect health and safety:
- Digital Ticketing – To reduce contact between guests and staff, all tickets will be digital.
- Security Screening – To speed up entry to the ballpark, and to minimize staff-to-fan cross contamination, no bags and no outside food will be allowed in the ballpark until further notice.
- Cashless Transactions – All points of sale at T-Mobile Park will accept only debit and credit cards, gift cards and mobile payments such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. Fans who do not have mobile pay, debit or credit cards can use ReadySTATION® kiosks located around T-Mobile Park to convert cash into Mastercard® prepaid debit cards.
- Streamlined Menu Offerings – Mariners hospitality partner Centerplate has updated ballpark menu offerings to focus on individually packaged items.
- Masks – All guests aged two and older, as well as staff, are required to wear masks that cover both the nose and mouth. Masks are required at all times except when actively eating or drinking.
- Cleaning & Sanitation – Enhanced cleaning protocols are in place that utilize the latest technology and products to target suspected or known presence of COVID-19.
