Our Stadium Adventures: Safeco Field

My wife's sister and her family lived in Seattle for a few years up until this past summer, so we have had the opportunity to take in a couple of Mariners games as well as a tour of Safeco Field.  First of all, if you've never been to Seattle, put it on your list of future vacation sites.  I haven't been to that many different cities in the US, but Seattle is definitely one of my favorites so far.  From Pike's Market, to the Space Needle, to the original Starbucks, and Underground Seattle, there are so many cool aspects of Seattle that I would go back again even without family there anymore.

Our Stadium Adventures: Target Field

My wife and I (mostly me) have this lifetime goal of being able to visit all 30 baseball stadiums - or at least one from each city/team.  One of my favorite parts about the game of baseball, the thing that separates baseball from many other sports, is that each stadium is special and unique.  Each stadium has its own history, sights, smells, and quirks.  We have been married now almost 3 years, and we have had the privilege of watching at least one game at 8 different stadiums so far: Metrodome, Target Field, Miller Park, US Cellular Field, Wrigley Field, Comerica Park, Rogers Centre, and Safeco Field.  I thought it would be cool just to share a few pictures  and stories from our experiences at each ballpark.

In addition to going to a game, we've also had the opportunity to take two ballpark tours - one at Target Field, and one at Safeco Field.  Since this is, after all, a site dedicated to the Twins, let's start out with our newest gem: Target Field.  Last season we took in the Friday night game against the White Sox on 1991 World Series Reunion Weekend, followed by a Target Field Tour Saturday morning.
