Origins of Safeco Field

I agree AynManRand.

Safeco is a beautiful park and I love baseball, but being a sports fan does not abrogate my duty as a citizen. Seattle also built the Seahawks, who are owned by 19th richest man on earth, a facility. Both stadiums totalled 1 billion dollars of tax money. At that point there was no more money to hand out so the Supersonics felt slighted and left. So the city doubled its costs, halved the rent, gave up percentages of the concession and parking and lost one professional sports franchise.

Yeah, I heard about this. The Mariners needed a new stadium. Just imainge Seattle, with out the Mariners. What I guess, that peope voted no on Safeco Field, really didn't like baseball, or something.
