Anyone who has ever worn a Red Sox jersey to a Yankees game
knows the home crowd doesn't always roll out the welcome mat for fans of the
opposing team. But that's not the case at Seattle's Safeco Field. In fact, with
friendly staff members, great fans, and incredible views of city's skyline,
Safeco Field might be the most relaxing ballpark in the league. Food tends to
be expensive at Safeco, especially if you are shelling out for the whole
family. But then again, do you know of any ballparks where the food isn't
expensive? Plus, you can't leave without trying the garlic fries—they're
spectacular.
Fast Fact: Safeco Field's retractable roof covers
nearly nine acres, weighs 22 million pounds, and contains enough steel to build
a skyscraper 55-stories tall.
