Kjel.org caught a Mariners game last Saturday. It was weird: if you haven’t been to a game in the last year or two you might hardly recognize the place.Two hours before the game (6:05 start) there were almost no people milling about outside of the stadium. Even a half hour before the game, the Pyramid Alehouse beer garden next door was almost empty. This is on a reasonably sunny late Saturday afternoon, mind you.
Inside Safeco was strange too. Quiet, no lines for food/beer, easy to navigate through the “crowds”, and comparatively deserted bathrooms even. Bloomquist could actually hear me I think when I told him that he sucked. We stayed until the last out of the 9th, but it took us only five minutes to get from our parking spot to I-5. Not normal. Even weirder is that the Mariners won and looked pretty sharp doing it.
