Safeco Field

 Seattle, Washington

The most norther stop on the tour of the MLB stadiums brings us to Seattle, Washington. In 1999, Safeco Field became the home to the Seattle Mariners. Safeco has a missive retractible roof that allows the game to continue being played during the rain. A cool feature of this retractable roof is that when open it sits above and behind the stadium so that it doesn't enclose the stadium. Although Seattle is pretty far from Oakland and Denver (the next stop on the trip) it is definitely worth it to experience the great atmosphere of Seattle sports.

- Great atmosphere

Ticket Cost:

Coors Field

When Coors Field was built in 1995, it became the first baseball specific stadium in the National league since the mid 60's. A cool thing about Coors Field is that it is built 21 feet below street level so that it blends in with its surroundings. Amazing views of the Rocky mountains make Coors Field one of the pristine parks in the MLB.

Attractions:

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

 The next stop on the tour is Miller Park, home to the Milwaukee Brewers. Miller Park opened in 2001 and has a very unique architecture. It is North America's only fan-shaped convertible roof and can open/close in only 10 minutes! Another cool feature of Miller Park is that their are large panes of glass that allow the natural grass field light even when the roof is closed. Im also very excited to see the new massive HD screen in centre field. The Brewers have also become a very good team and so the environment in Miller Park would be incredible.
