Hot dogs? Yes please!
Every year, in the height of July, we take a break from our regularly scheduled programming to enjoy a leisurely afternoon at Safeco Field. This annual event is known as the Nine Inning Lunch.
This year the Nine Inning Lunch coincided with National Hot Dog Day.
Hot dogs? Yes please!
After a stop at Joe’s Gourmet Grilled Dogs, we made our way through the stadium, first stopping for a pint, and then finding our seats to watch the Seattle Mariners play the New York Mets. And take selfies.
After several consecutive years of sunny ballpark weather, we knew we were due for a rainy one. Luckily, Safeco is equipped with a retractable roof! We always like to get out of our seats and walk around the stadium to take in the atmosphere and check out any new snack options. Since our team consists solely of wayfinding and environmental graphics devotees, we also appreciate any opportunity to see some great neon signage, and Safeco is hardly lacking in that area.
The game got REAL during the 8th and 9th innings when the Mariners closed the lead the Mets had established earlier. They still lost, but we felt like champs on our walk back to the studio.
