Where do you even look? The pristine views and Pacific Northwest scenery give baseball some serious competition at Safeco Field.
Luckily, since opening in 1999, Safeco has also been the home to a string of magnetic Mariners stars on the diamond.
The innovative, umbrella-like retractable roof provides cover in cases of rain, but doesn't take the game inside. And, of course, the Seattle's fascination with great food and craft beer carries over into the park -- and takes center stage at The 'Pen, a hub for ballpark culinary connoisseurs.
-Views: Safeco Field, situated downtown near the Seahawks' stadium, creates breathtaking views of both the Seattle skyline and the action on the field.
-Art: Behind right-center field, beloved broadcaster Dave Niehaus is still behind the mic, as a statue places him at his desk, with his notes in front of him. And if you need a spot to meet up with friends, The MITT, a bronze sculpture outside left field, is an unmistakable Safeco landmark.
