The current stadium deal between the Bengals and Hamilton County is so lopsided in favor of the home team, it's been the subject of wide-spread criticism.
The Wall Street Journal called the contract quote: One of the worst professional sports deals ever struck by a local government.
A PricewaterhouseCoopers audit found: blurred accountability.
And a Harvard University researcher, who wrote an analysis of the stadium deal determined: No other NFL team has ever received so much public money.
The lease stipulates that the county provide the Bengals with new, state of the art scoreboards and the team is calling in that marker, which some could argue is the moral low ground given the Bengals' impressive balance sheet.
Forbes estimates the team's value at just under one billion dollars, with annual revenues of approximately $250 million. Then there is the NFL's lucrative new TV deal, which kicks in for the 2014 season. It's worth $27 billion and promises to keep the Bengals well into the black until at least 2022.
But when it comes to who should pay for the new scoreboards, not everyone is pointing a finger at the rich guy. Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes has provided FOX19 with detailed accounting receipts of bills paid to various vendors dating back to 2008. - Payments made with money taken from the stadium fund.
Rhodes told FOX19 quote: "They spent money on other things that weren't part of the original deal so shame on them, not once but twice. They spent the money, diverted funds, to do things that were never part of the original deal.. and now they want to blame the people they made the deal with."
If there is a silver lining for Hamilton County Commissioners, it might come by way of the Bengals who say they are willing to pick up some of the costs to help the county. Meanwhile, the stadium deal remains a cautionary tale for cities soon to negotiate with their own pro sports teams.

PLATTSBURGH — The governor's State of the State address resonated well with North Country leaders.
"I am very pleased that the governor mentioned upstate several times during his speech," Plattsburgh Mayor Donald Kasprzak said.
"He is correct in mentioning that upstate needs business investment and a marketing plan, and that is something I fully appreciate and support."
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's speech included mention of creating an Upstate marketing plan to promote regions and special events, as well as regional businesses.
At one point during his speech, a picture of several bottles of Ubu Ale, a specialty beer brewed by the Lake Placid Brewing Company, appeared on the screen behind the governor as an example of regional products worth promoting.
He also mentioned a hot-air balloon festival in Glens Falls, which brought applause from State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) — that the governor noticed.
"Calling attention to the beauty and tourist attractions of the Adirondacks was definitely appreciated," Little said.
The governor also said he wants to see regions of the state competing against each other to come up with the best marketing plans for attractions and special events, rather than have counties compete against each other.
Mayor Kasprzak said such a plan could benefit Plattsburgh and the surrounding area as the bicentennial of the Battle of Plattsburgh in September of 2014 draws near.
"I would think that the Battle of Plattsburgh is a perfect example of what the governor believes will help upstate and regions like ours," he said.
Assemblywoman Janet Duprey (R-Peru) agreed.
"Who is better suited to put together a marketing plan than those of us in the North Country?" Duprey said. "We have so many events to promote, and a program like that will put them all together."
Duprey particularly liked the governor's idea of creating an Adirondack whitewater rafting challenge, where teams of politicians race against each other. The idea was highlighted by cartoon pictures of state leaders in rafts.

Incomplete medical paperwork has forced UFC welterweight Chris Wilson to withdraw from his UFC 98 fight against Brock Larson at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, tomorrow night (Saturday, May 23), according to Sherdog.com.
MMA veteran Mike Pyle (17-5-1), who's been on standby for the event since early this week, will step in to replace him.
It's been a rough month for Wilson, who was recently the victim of a home invasion in Brazil, where he resides with his wife and children. Now a problem with medical paperwork will keep him on the shelf until he's able to get it straightened out.
From Keith Kizer, Executive Director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission:
"There was no negative finding on Chris at all. We were only requesting more detailed medical information."
Wilson, who was originally slated to face Josh Koscheck before "Kos" hurt his toe, was looking to rebound from a tough split-decision loss to John Howard at UFC 94: "St. Pierre vs. Penn 2″ on Jan. 31. It was the lone bright spot on a rather uneventful card, bringing home co "Fight of the Night" honors.
Now Pyle, who has fought just about everywhere except inside the Octagon, including Elite XC, Strikeforce, Affliction and the IFL (among others), will step in at the eleventh hour and look to notch his fifth straight win against larson.
"The Hurricane" trains alongside several of the best in the business at X-Treme Couture headquarters in "Sin City." He was last seen at "Night of Combat II," where he quickly disposed of Brian Gassaway via armbar.
UFC 98 features a the first-ever main event to include an undefeated champion, 205-pound kingpin Rashad Evans, defending his world title against an undefeated number one contender, Lyoto Machida.
In the co-main event, former welterweight champions Matt Hughes and Matt Serra will finally end their epic grudge match by taping up the gloves and letting their fists do the talking once and for all.

World Junior Medal Round Games to be Televised on NHL Network US
I've just received confirmation from Dave Fischer, Director of Media & Public Relations for USA Hockey, that the medal round of the 2007 World Junior Hockey Championships from the Czech Republic will be broadcast live (and repeated) on the NHL Network here in the US. The two quarterfinals, both semifinals, and the bronze and gold medal games will be available to viewers.
If you don't have NHL Network, you will be able to listen to every Team USA game on audiocast via the USA Hockey website.
Last year, Direct TV showed most of the Team USA early round games and then all of their medal games, including the classic semifinal against Canada that went to a shoot-out. I'd love to see the USA early round games on Direct TV or NHL Network, which will include a Pool B match-up with Russia. Maybe that can get worked out in the next few days, but time is running out as the tournament begins a week from today, December 26th.
Great job by USA Hockey and the NHL Network to get these games on air. I really enjoyed watching them last year and seeing all of the future NHL talent playing in a high-level competition. Just look at some of the names that were involved last year that are currently on NHL clubs now: Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Sam Gagner, Devin Setoguchi, Marc Staal, Kris Letang, Carey Price, Erik Johnson, Peter Mueller, and Jack Johnson, among others.
Here's the schedule for Team USA:
Date Opponent Location Time (Local/EDT)
Dec. 26 Kasakhstan Liberec 4 p.m. / 10 a.m.
Dec. 28 Switzerland Liberec 6 p.m. / Noon
Dec. 29 Russia Liberec 8 p.m. / 2 p.m.
Dec. 31 Finland Liberec 6 p.m. / Noon
Look for a full announcement today or tomorrow and if you want more information, check out the USA Hockey website.

That is great, it is about time they start showing more of this tourney down here in the States. Now I just need to find a way to see the Team Canada games down here.
The NHL needs to do more for this tournament, by promoting the players in this tournament better, it will help their draft, the young stars, and the game.

ATLANTA (AP) - Rookie Elena Delle Donne scored 25 points and Chicago strengthened its hold on the Eastern Conference lead by beating the cold-shooting Atlanta Dream 67-56 on Saturday night.
Sylvia Fowles had 10 points and 13 rebounds and Swin Cash had 12 points for the Sky (20-8). Chicago, which has won five straight, stretched its lead in the East to 4½ games over second-place Atlanta.
Angel McCoughtry had 20 points for the Dream (14-11), who fell to 11-2 at home. McCoughtry opened the game by sinking a jumper, but that 2-0 advantage was Atlanta's only lead.
The Dream matched their fewest points in franchise history and set the mark for their lowest field-goal percentage (28.6%).

Economic impact of the Vikings hot streak
Anyone want to make a guess on how much the Vikings winning streak means to the local bars and establishments? If we were coming into this game on a 4 game losing streak, the bars would be pretty sporadically attended, but I bet the bars are going to be PACKED tomorrow night.
It will be a lot of fun to get out tomorrow, have some beers and it will be a loud crowd everywhere. Vikings fever is everywhere! Even at my work, a guy came up to me and flashes 2 "V" signs and says -- you know what this is -- it stands for another "Vikings Victory. and when you put the two V's together -- you get the big W."
It's pretty fun to see -- I would love to trade places with Joe Senser tomorrow because he is going to make a TON of money!!"SHOOT EM JIMMY!!"

Re: Economic impact of the Vikings hot streak
I'll tell you who's making a killing are the ticket brokers. Four weeks ago you could buy tickets for this game for $10 and today they are fetching well over $100.Kentucky Vikes Fan
When you require nothing, you get nothing; when you expect nothing, you will find nothing; when you embrace nothing, all you will have is nothing.

UPDATE: More than 50 people from 11 states were arraigned Monday in two courtrooms by two judges in Benton County, Miss., on dogfighting charges stemming from a raid late Saturday night by law enforcement and the Humane Society of the United States.
The accused were charged with illegal dogfighting and some were charged with weapons violations.
Among those arrested were eight women and two people in wheelchairs.
Upwards of 30-40 other people, who attended the dogfighting, event are being sought.
MORE: 2 judges needed for mass dogfighting arraignment
From a previous report
Twenty (20) pit bulls and 40 people from 11 states were arrested after law enforcement raided an active dogfighting event early Sunday in rural Benton County.
Upwards of 200 attended the dogfighting ring, which was located of Highway 72 off Steward Lane in northern Benton County, authorities said.
Sixty sheriff deputies from Marshall, Benton, DeSoto, Fayette (Tenn.), and Hardeman (Tenn.) counties, Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, Mississippi Wildlife and Game and members of the Humane society were fired upon by some of the attendees as the dogfighting ring was unfolding.
Though 40 were arrested, several attendees fled into the woods. The suspects arrested are from Florida, Arkansas, Alabama, California, Ohio, Texas, Missouri, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi.
Two of the pit bulls used in the actual fight had to receive emergency care after losing a lot of blood and going in to shock, said Chris Schindler, Humane Society manager of animal fighting investigations. One of the dogs is not doing well.
"Dogfighting is a despicable crime that will not be tolerated in Marshall County," said Marshall County Sheriff Major Kelly McMillen. "We are grateful for the assistance and expertise of The Humane Society of the United States and all the other departments involved to make this a successful case."
The 40 unidentified suspects will be in Benton County Circuit Court in Ashland on Monday.
"This one drew some of the biggest players in organized dogfighting from all over the country," Schindler said.
One of the dogfighting suspects is from northern California, Major McMillian told FOX13 News. The suspect has eluded law enforcement for the past four years.
"This dogfighting case will send shockwaves through the dogfighting community," Schindler said. "It's going to show no matter where they try to have these operations, if law enforcement finds out, they're going to take swift action."
Seventy-six (76) vehicles were impounded. Suspected dogfighting paraphernalia and an undetermined amount of cash were also seized.
The raid was the outcome of a multi-agency investigation and involved tracking suspected dogfighters from around the country as they traveled to the match on a property in rural Benton County.
"We are pleased that our cooperative efforts in Mississippi resulted in the bust of a massive dogfight in progress and allowed us to rescue these dogs," Schindler said. "The Humane Society of the United States is proud to assist the dedicated officers in Marshall and Benton counties to crack down on a dogfighting ring that spanned the country."
The Humane Society placed the dogs in a temporary shelter and provided the canines with veterinary treatment. The Humane society said it is treating all 20 of the pit bulls as individuals in getting the best care.
"They're going to get all the things they may have never known: kindness and proper care and enrichment," Schindler said. "Things they so desperately needed."
The Humane Society's animal fighting experts assisted law enforcement in identifying and documenting suspected dogfighting evidence and forensic crime scene evidence, as well as coordinating the dog rescue effort.
Dogfighting is a felony in all 50 states.
The raid remains under investigation.
Benton County is 75 miles southeast of Memphis.

Recently Carleton College, one of the nation's top liberal arts institutions, completed an in-depth evaluation process for their next-generation messaging and collaboration platform.
Key requirements included easy administration plus a feature rich experience for all faculty and students across different platforms. Zimbra faced Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise in the final round and was selected the winner for its better overall experience, flexibility, and stability.
Carleton College kindly provided this evaluation document for others to review.
In Carleton's own words:
"On July 21st and 22nd, Carleton successfully migrated 2,019 student accounts (300 gigabytes of mail, about 4.5 million messages) from Cyrus to Zimbra with less than 30 minutes' downtime and only about a dozen calls to the student help desk. Zimbra is running on less expensive hardware than the system it replaces, and has significantly more advanced features. We will be pre-filling all student and faculty accounts with the academic calendar, their personal class schedule, and their assignments from the Moodle CMS starting with the first day of the Fall term. Thanks to Zimbra's open and standards-based architecture, this took only one man-month to accomplish. With no other package we considered was this level of data integration ever a serious possibility. Faculty and academic staff are migrating to Zimbra as we speak (10% done). Administrative staff are staying in their previous system for now because of (currently) limited Outlook 2007 support and data conversion issues from Novell GroupWise, but we hope tto get to a single, fully-featured collaboration suite, including out-of-the-box support for most modern mobile devices, for all campus constituencies by the end of this calendar year."

Leaders in Montgomery County say that they're ready to go against the state and help couples pursue their dreams of marriage. But how do they plan to make that happen?
County leaders here say they want to be on the right side of history and issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples that want them. But the first couple that actually would have received one of those licenses backed out, fearing the legal road ahead.
The first same sex marriage license in Pennsylvania was to be shared with the world from the steps of the Montgomery County courthouse Tuesday, before a lesbian couple backed out at the last minute. Their attorney says the couple worried the license could be challenged on procedural grounds.
State law restricts marriage to one man, one woman, but the county Register of Wills says he would issue the license anyway, to be on the right side of history.
County commissioners agree.
"We made it clear that the register would issue the license to them or anyone else who would come before him for the license," says Commissioner Josh Shapiro.
The county is suggesting it will move ahead with issuing same-sex marriage licenses as the ACLU pushes its legal challenge to state law.
"We think that this is clearly an issue in flux. We think this is clearly a murky issue. In that case Montgomery County is stepping in and standing out, speaking out firmly in saying that we support marriage equality.
"We're again moving the conversation in the right direction. And I hope that it continues to go in that direction," says Commissioner Leslie Richards.
A county source told me this afternoon that the ACLU actually contacted the couple and urged them to pull out of the pursuit of marriage license as their legal case goes forward. But the ACLU denies that took place. However, we have learned that the couple will continue trying to find a way to make this happen some other way.
We reached out to the couple, but their attorney would not make them available to us today.

Greensburg —
Greensburg Police Department Detective Bill Meyerrose told news media investigators of Sunday's fatal plane crash are awaiting the arrival of members of the National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) Monday morning.
In an early morning news briefing, Meyerrose stated the NTSB will lead the investigation once they arrive, but the detective couldn't put a definite timetable on when that would occur. Meyerrose's best assumption was that NTSB investigators would arrive between 2 and 2:30 p.m. Monday.
Decatur County Coroner Charity Banks was expected to arrive at the crash site Monday morning. Investigators have declined to release the names of the victims until the coroner chooses to do so.
Four people were killed Sunday evening when a private plane crashed about a mile to a mile and a half south of the Greensburg Municipal Airport.
The crash was discovered at about 10:45 p.m. Sunday night and the four fatalities were confirmed to news media approximately an hour later, following notification of the families.
Meyerrose stated the crash site remained undisturbed Monday morning, noting the site had been secured and the bodies of the victims remained there pending the coroner's arrival.
Investigators are working to determine the cause of the crash. Fog and a drizzling rain may have contributed to the cause, but that has not been confirmed by authorities at this time.
The Daily News will continue to have breaking coverage of this story as it becomes available.

Guys....this is a really great antivius....it's great feature is it's bootable cd which you can access in emergency....frankly speaking i was very fond of using pirated antivirus.....even last 5yrs I used so...i never bought a single paid software...this is my first time...i really appreciate it that this is a great antivirus...and i am happy paying for this....even g-data customer care is also very prompt...
This is a best Internet Security in it's class. previously I used Kaspersky Internet Security ,K7 total security its is effective protection against virus, malware, Trojans & on-line banking etc.It's compatibly better than K7.I strongly recommended this software to buy & thank u Flip cart to send it to me in 2 days.
I installed the internet security suite almost 1 yr ago on my pc and tell u what my pc is running like so smooth. It is very very efficient at catching viruses and even rootkits which are difficult catches. Go for it Guys. The good thing is that you can upgrade free to the new version free of cost. Say you had v2011 and now 2012 is out. So you can do this upgrade free if your subscription is active. So go for it.
I had this internet security sw for one year in 2007. Only reason not to buy it again was price point. I have been using either Avira or Kaspersky since 2008. Except price, in terms of effective protection against malware, virus and trojans, this stands par or above with Avira, Trusport or Kaspersky. Another point, it used to be comparatively slow in 2007. The latest 2012 version is fast. Flipkart provides excellent deal for this sw. Buy it !!
trashh , wate of maoney it doesn't catch viruses even catched by mse . its a big waste of money . don't buy. best antiviruses of 2012: 1.norton 2012, 2.kaspersky 2012 , 3.vipre 2012 antivirus.

The Pacific Northwest, or PNW as known by the locals, is famed for its love of coffee, the great outdoors, plethora of micro brews, and the -slightly misinformed- rain. Seattle until recently has not been known as a sports city, where locals would rather spend a Sunday hiking the Cascades or Olympic Mountain range than spectating. The Sonics' exit and perception of the Mariners being a Yankees farm team, leaves the fans feeling heart-broken. The revival of the Seahawks and the failed push of the Seattle Super Sonics return has brought back a tingle in the city that good things are to come for Seattle sports.�
Home of the Mariners, Safeco Field is nestled between Century Link, and a few of Seattle�s most tasty staples, Pyramid and Elysian Breweries. Depart from the metal fences, plastic seats, peanuts and cracker jacks to the surrounding two blocks which makes Safeco a must see while in the PNW.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
Inside the ballpark walls you will find all the standard grub at stadium appropriate prices; sausage, footlongs, nachos and popcorn, etc. Visit "the Pen" for Edgar's Tacos and Torta (named after Edgar Martinez), or Ivar's for some Chowder or Fish n' Chips. Garlic fries are also a popular snack at games, and you don't get strange looks from the other fans sitting around you.
The beer taps inside the stadium are similar to venturing into one of the small local bars, with 5-7 Seattle and Portland breweries being represented. Manny's, Mack & Jack's, Fremont summer ales all secured a premium spot in front of the customers. Domestic beers such as Bud Light and Coors, are hidden behind the servers in large mouth cans.
If you are looking for a true Seattle experience, venture one block from the stadium along Occidental Avenue. Before and after the game popular food truck vendors line the small street and offer unique tastes that you will not want to miss. I would highly recommend El Camion, Mexican cuisine, and The Peoples Burger for gourmet hamburgers.
Mariners and opposing fans alike will enjoy this large modern facility filled with baseball fans there to enjoy America's past time and enjoy time with friends and family. Animosity of opposing fans is as rare as the sun in Seattle, and most attendees have come to the understanding that the promise of attending October baseball in Seattle left with Ken Griffey Jr.
Seattle, like most cities goes through phases, now arguably the 2nd biggest tech hub in the United States (behind San Francisco), the influence of web giants is changing the city by the month. Art Galleries and foodie restaurants now showcase the storefronts which carry Facebook, Google, Zynga and other tech giants in the brick buildings above. Walk north 1-4 blocks and you will find yourself in an early night life crowd which includes the Lodge, Henry's on 1st, Elysian and Cowgirls.
With the departure of the most popular Ichiro Suzuki, the Mariners have seen a steady decrease in fans over the last season and a half. Though watching the Mariners at home on TV might be deceiving, the young Seattleites who purchase bleacher seats will slowly creep down out of the nose bleed seats and occupy the first and third base lines.
This is the atmosphere for four of every five home games. But a few times a month, seas of yellow flock to the stadium to watch King Felix Hernandez take the mound. He has a section named "King's Court" which spans two sections to the left of the left field foul pole. These fans are the loudest and can be heard chanting "k, k, k, k, k, k, k" with every batter that faces two strikes, waving strike banners.
Safeco is within a stone's throw of I-5, I-90 and Highway 99, traffic is not too difficult to manage unless there is also a Sounders or Seahawks game; be sure to check their schedules before planning on parking. You can find parking north of CenturyLink field or south of the stadium in the industrial Sodo neighborhood (south of Downtown).
All and all the ROI for Safeco depends on one or two things. 1) Do you plan on attending while Felix is on the mound? Or is the away team starting All-Stars that you shouldn't miss seeing? 2) Are you planning on taking advantage of the great local food and breweries that surround the stadium?
If your answer is yes to either of these questions, than I'm sure you will get your money's worth and have a great time (barring external circumstances). The experience is more about the full picture than your time spent in the green fold down seats viewing a game.
Safeco Field offers a great family experience, period. No rowdy crowds, polite staff and great views of the field and bullpen. Memories of Mariner greats like Bret Boone, Edgar Martinez, Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro surround the stadium like wallpaper. The stadium itself has a good food selection regardless of your preferred diet of standard stadium grub, vegetarian, Asian or Mexican. Clear panoramic views of a gorgeous city and mountains will leave you breathless.
The extras are in the neighborhood and surrounding blocks, which embody a city so close to being back on top the sports world.
If you find yourself traveling through Seattle then a true Safeco experience can deliver a 30 second pitch, which the Space Needle never could. You get the sites, the smells, the views of Seattle that will make you consider making the Northwest your home.
Make sure to travel down Occidental Avenue to enjoy the great food trucks parked out front of the stadium. Grab some popular local beers from the tap at Elysian Brewing and Pyramid. Take in the sites of The Olympic Mountain range above the beautiful Puget Sound, and Mt. Rainer.
Did you go to the right stadium? The beer selection is far from limited. In fact, of the 15 or sta
Did you go to the right stadium?
The beer selection is far from limited. In fact, of the 15 or stadiums I've been to, I think Safeco has the most different and interesting beer options I've seen.
I believe the centerfield stand alone has about a dozen taps, and many of the isolated kiosks offer unique options (including some from very small breweries like Lazy Boy, Elysian and Hale's)
Certainly many of the main concession stands sell the requisite Coors/Bud/Miller, but most have a microbrew alternate and in most cases it's either local or at least NW.
This incredibly false statement clouds my opinion of the entire review.

No stadium lot?? Are you blind? Did you miss the 6 floor parking garage that has a sky bridge to the stadium?
Also you say "The beer selection is limited, with only a few non-macro options, and no local options to speak of." There are many local brews available at the game. How did you miss the specialty beer stands seemingly every few feet on the main level?

1. The beer selection section is especially damning. I've never been to a stadium with a better local beer selection. I have seen plenty of stadiums with pathetic selections, but Safeco is certainly not one of them.
2. There is a giant parking lot that you should have noticed. I do agree that parking is still a problem if you drive to the game, but to say there is no parking is not accurate.
3. I agree that there has been some lame cracking down on fun things like Yankees suck and stuff like that, but I don't see how this could be in evidence on a night with a passive 20,000 person crowd.

I'm a lifelong Chicagoan and recent transplant to Seattle. As a diehard White Sox fan, I think the Seattle fans - specifically for the Mariners - can be a bit anemic. I dare say that they're the opposite of Cubs fans. Your typical bleacher bum is loud and obnoxious with limited baseball knowledge. Mariners fans seem to sit on their hands for the entire game but are rather knowledgeable about the sport.
As a vegetarian I was pleased that they've added a stand (The Natural) that serves only vegetarian food! The best part is theres hardly ever a line for it. Aside from that, I've heard that there are some new items at the ballpark like prime rib nachos! The beer selection is better than average, you just need to know where to look.
If you get down to Safeco early theres a few bars to pre-game at but, as far as I know, there is no tailgating allowed in the parking lot.
I live near the stadium and have never dealt with parking but I don't think it's a major issue; traffic on the other hand is! If you're coming from East of Mercer Island leave plenty early as I90 is gridlocked on game day. I'm assuming 520 & I5 suffer as well, but haven't experienced that firsthand yet.

Here to echo my sentiments about a couple of things.
Beer Selection
In now way does Alex know what he is talking about. Multiple brews from Pyramid, Hale's, Georgetown, DeChuttes, Widmer, New Belgium ect. are available. (3 of the breweries I mentioned are local and the 2 others are from Oregon)
Who parks at the stadium for $20-$40 buck a pop? Morons thats who!! Find a bus, or park in Pioneer Square somewhere (the 5 block walk is going to kill you?), or park in one of the many "event parking" lots that are littered around the stadium (usually around $10).

I love Safeco, and I love the M\'s, but one thing is for sure, the return on investment is minimal.
I love Safeco, and I love the M's, but one thing is for sure, the return on investment is minimal. Good tickets are going to run you $40 as a charter seat holder, $58 at the door.
With beers approaching $8-9ea, you can't afford to have food with your drink. A family of 4 trying to have the good 'ol fashion baseball experience can count on spending easily $300 between 4 decent tickets, 1 drink each, 1 meal each (say burger and fries?) and parking (which the stadium parking IS excellent for it's SUPER easy to park, SUPER easy to leave).
Want an officially licensed MLB souveniour? maybe a jersey for each member of the family? You're in $500+ for one game.
All this so a guy can make $20,000,0000 - $50,000,000 (possibly Puhols next contract?) per year playing baseball. Best game on earth, but prices of salaries and prices at the ball park are an insult to the game and the people who love it.

We parked at the Safeco parking garage immediately across the street from the ballfield. We came out to find our car had been vandalized during the event. We contacted Malcom who is in charge of Seattle Mariners Parking and he said this is a regular event, but the Mariners refuse to help the people it happens to. They have attendants to take your $$$, but then they leave and the garage is left for car prowling and vandalizing !!!!!!

You must be a Stadium Journey member to post a comment.
Far and away, Safeco Field is in my top five of Major League Baseball stadiums to witness a game. It has everything you could ask for and all of the accompaniments to ensure you enjoy a game regardless of how well the team is playing.
After decades of domed baseball at the famous Seattle Kingdome, the Mariners now treat their fans to a taste of outdoor baseball at every game. After years of semi-competitive play on Astroturf, the team plays under a roof on inclement weather days, but with a view of the outside on all sides.
The roof serves as a canopy, as opposed to a dome, and slides over the field when it opens and closes. Its closing edge begins high above the third base side of the stadium footprint and opens along huge tracks out toward center and right field.
The first time I attended a game here was on opening day 2007 and my seat was a few rows from the top of the third base side. Right before first pitch, with the sun shining brightly, the public address announcer proclaimed this to be a great day for baseball. At that moment, the canopy began to open just a few dozen feet above my head, rays slowly reaching the field with every additional inch of movement along the rails.
As early as you can enter the stadium, usually two hours before game time, ascend from behind home plate at the corner of First Avenue South and Edgar Martinez Drive South to the main concourse. Make a right turn at the top of the steps and head right to guest relations behind section 128 where you can arm yourself with useful printed pocket guides and brochures detailing the wide array of food choices, art exhibits and other places to spend your time and money before the ballgame begins.
Known as "The House that Griffey Built," Safeco Field has been a treasure in the northwest since it opened its doors in July 1999. With a retractable roof to deal with the unpredictable Seattle weather, and some of the best food in baseball, you can be sure that your game will be played, and you will have a great time.
A great place to catch a game. I hail from the Bay Area where I feel we have ballparks that represent both the best and the worst in the league. I'm surprised to say that Safeco belongs in the same company as AT&T Park.
When I walked into the park, it seemed huge, with an expansive outfield and seating that seemed too distant. Once the game started, I felt as if I were right on top of the action.
The structure of the stadium lends itself as art. It's retractable roof doubles as beautiful and functional. The function of the ballpark is further enhanced by the wide promenades and convenient foot traffic areas. I wanted to check out every corner of this yard because every view revealed something unique about itself.
Without a doubt my favorite feature was the viewing area in the bullpens. Fans can stand mere feet away from the pitchers as they warm up and are on the same level as them, not standing high above them. One must only channel their inner child, lean up against the chain-link fence and wonder if they really could hit a 93 mph fastball.
The park is situated just outside of downtown with several sports bars (and regular bars) in the area. Sluggers Sports Bar in Pioneer Square has a ton of Seattle memorabilia and ample flat screens for viewing sporting events. I was told a more "local" place to have a drink before the game is at the Triangle Pub across the street.
If you're traveling on the cheap, The Green Tortoise hostel in Pike Place Market is just over a mile away and the walk is a breeze on warm summer night. Because of this, I can't comment on traffic or parking situations. There is however a train stop right outside along a line that runs from downtown to the SeaTac airport.
One of the greatest moments in Seattle sports history was the implosion of the Kingdome. Not as a slight to the difficulties and dry times that the Pacific Northwest's sports scene has seen, the implosion of the Kingdome represents the beginning of the embracing of two of the most fantastic sports venues in all of sports. The Seahawks of the NFL moved on to CenturyLink Field, and the Mariners moved to beautiful Safeco Field.
Safeco Field is owned by the county and is one of the golden age stadiums that ushered in a new era of baseball stadia. It was a departure from the retractable roof stadium like the Rogers Centre where the design is round and the roof is a part of the stadium. The roof at Safeco Field is more like a canopy rather than anything else, remaining open during non-game times.
Regardless of the struggles the Mariners have been having on the field, Safeco remains one of the go-to destinations in Major League Baseball. If you get there you will agree that it was well worth your time and money.
First time to the stadium and overall a good experience. Easy to get to (I was staying downtown). Could easily walk to a bar afterwards. Fans were really nice and into the game, but the stadium was half empty (which I understand). There were many food options and they all looked pretty good.
Just recently (Aug, 2013) I attended a game here - Toronto Blues Jay @ Seattle Mariners. Although the stadium was not completely full of fans, there were as many Canadian fans as Mariners fans and it was a fantastic atmosphere.
There is plenty of food and beverage options at Safeco Field. The better and more interesting options are on the first level. There is a great food/beverage/viewing area out in centerfield called The Pen. It is open pregame (and during the game) and one can watch batting practice as well as both bullpen�s activities. There is plenty of food and beer options in that area and I�d recommend visiting it if you attend a game at Safeco.
I did park at the Safeco Parking Garage $25. We were early and it was open several hours pregame (more than what states on the website). Passed the time visiting a huge souvenir shop that is open pregame. The souvenir shop even offered Toronto Blue Jays t-shirts and attire. Nice touch. Seattle�s finest did a fantastic job with directing traffic out after the game from the parking garage.
Before the gates opened I spent some time at the Pryamid Alehouse across the street from the stadium. Some decent brews and friendly staff.
There is a Hall of Fame museum not only displaying Mariners great and history but other historic baseball information of the Pacific Northwest. Be sure to visit this area when going to Safeco.
I didn�t go on the tour this trip but have been on one in a previous trip and would recommend taking the tour of the ballpark.
I had another great visit to Safeco Field in September 2013. I came away even more impressed than my first visit.
The food selection is even better than I had remembered with plenty legitimate vegetarian options. Since this is a ballpark, I don't even consider decent vegetarian selection as an option while attending. Not only were they aplenty, they were good. I couldn't believe. Lots of other options that looked great like Ivar's seafood, pizza, and gourmet hamburgers. Be sure to check out the Beers of the Northwest booth near the left field bleachers. I had an Elysian IPA.
My favorite part about Safeco Field is their unique and accessible Mariners Hall of Fame. For each player there is a few pieces of memorabilia as well as some facts about their time with the Mariners. Best of all was the highlight reel on an LED screen that would play on repeat in front of each plaque.
While the field is covered, if it is raining you still get hit by drops if you're sitting in the center field bleachers. The ushers were cool (even recommended) about us switching seats as it was far from a sellout. We ended up spending a lot of time near the bullpens beyond the right field wall where we could watch the relievers warm up, while still catching the action on the field.
The neighborhood is good too. It was a little crazy as Washington State was hosting Stanford next door at Centurylink Field on the same day. Apparently WSU plays one game a year in Seattle. Lots of places were packed but Cowgirls seemed to be the most popular. After the game, we stopped in at the Central Saloon which was a bit of a dive, but full of both college kids and older Wazzou alumni. They had an excellent beer selection to go along with swill and sticky bars that we are accustomed to for our favorite dives.

Bank Blunders
Beverly Tiernan learned that the hard way when a woman behind a desk at a hospital emergency room asked for her social security card. Beverly was in the E.R. after a car accident.
It wasn't until months later that Beverly found out her social security number, along with many others, were sold to ID thieves. Postal inspectors say in all, there were 332 victims.
Beverly found out about the ID theft when her husband tried to access her bank account, and they told him the account had been compromised. The ID thieves began withdrawing money using her identity, funneling it through 11 different accounts. Overall, they got their hands on 631-thousand dollars.
Beverly was lucky because she got her money back, but not all victims do. Postal inspectors say the hospital employee who was selling information was arrested.
