Safeco Field is home to the Seattle Mariners baseball team, whose season runs from April through the end of September. Complete with a retractable roof and views of Seattle and Puget Sound (especially on a rainy, spring afternoon), Safeco field is a cool place to watch a baseball game. Safeco Field is located just south of downtown Seattle and directly south of Qwest Field and Event Center. The Safeco Field ballpark is very family friendly with a number of amenities for the casual fan and diehard alike. Admission is definitely affordable as prices for tickets run from $7 on up. There are few non-alcoholic seat sections in the stadium provided specifically for families or those who want a more family friendly environment. Seattle Mariners crowds, for the most part, are quite polite and respectful. There is also a playground and children's area out beyond the center field wall, so if you have kids in the group and they are getting restless, there is a place for them to burn some energy. As is the case with the Qwest Field football stadium, Safeco Field has ample parking for those driving to the Safeco Field stadium.  There is also an efficient transit service that runs buses directly to the stadium from various park & ride lots in the Greater Seattle area. If you are staying downtown, walking is a great option as Safeco Field is close many downtown hotels. If you're not much of a baseball fan but would like to check out the ballpark anyway, tours are offered during the midday both during the season and the off-season.
