Where visiting fans stay
From a specialist guide- Pioneer Square and the stadium district. 5 min by walk. The Silver Cloud Hotel Seattle Stadium faces the ballpark, and the Embassy Suites at 255 S King St is less than half a mile away. You walk to the gates and to the bars on 1st Avenue South.
- Downtown core. 10 min by transit. Most of the city's hotels are here, close to Pike Place Market and the waterfront. Link light rail runs from Westlake Station to Stadium Station in a few stops, or you can walk to the ballpark in 15 to 30 minutes.
- Belltown and Seattle Center. 20 min by transit. Close to the Space Needle and Kerry Park. Ride the Seattle Center Monorail to Westlake, then Link light rail south to Stadium Station.
- Bellevue. 25 min by transit. A big hotel cluster across Lake Washington. The Link 2 Line runs from Bellevue Downtown through Mercer Island to International District/Chinatown Station in about 22 minutes, then it is a short walk to the ballpark.
- SeaTac airport hotels. 35 min by transit. A fallback when downtown sells out. Link light rail runs from the airport station straight to Stadium Station for $3.

From a specialist guideBars near the stadium
Checked at the sourceThe T-Mobile 'Pen
1250 1st Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134 (center field, inside T-Mobile Park)
The open plaza behind the center field bullpens is the first part of the ballpark to open, two hours before first pitch. It has food stands like El Rinconsito, Great State Burger and Ballard Pizza, plus spirits you can carry anywhere in the ballpark.
Away fans: a busy home crowd, but Seattle fans are easygoing, so expect a little teasing and nothing more.
Hit It Here Cafe and Bar
1250 1st Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134 (right field, inside T-Mobile Park)
A restaurant and bar in right field with sit-down meals and a view of the field. It is one of the few spots in the ballpark that pours hard liquor.
Away fans: a sit-down room full of home fans, but the crowd is relaxed.
Hatback Bar and Grille and Steelheads Alley
1201 1st Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134
The Mariners run this complex, called the Boxyard, in the former Pyramid Brewing building facing the ballpark. Hatback serves pub food and local beer, and the Steelheads Alley taproom next door honors the Seattle Steelheads, a Negro Leagues team from the 1940s.
Away fans: a Mariners-backed bar across the street, so it is packed with home fans. Away colors draw jokes, not trouble.
Elysian Fields
542 1st Ave S, Seattle, WA 98104
Elysian Brewing's pub opened in 2006 across from Lumen Field, a short walk north of the ballpark. It has a long zinc bar, about 20 taps of Elysian beer and room for groups.
Away fans: a big brewpub that draws fans of every team in town, so away colors fit in.
