Not that there was any doubt, but the Mariners will stay in Seattle at Safeco Field, or whatever its new name will be in 2019, for many years to come.
With the original 20-year ballpark lease expiring at the end of 2018, the Washington State Major League Baseball Stadium Public Facilities District (PFD) afternoon approved terms for a new 25-year lease for the Mariners to stay at Safeco Field on Wednesday afternoon. The agreement was negotiated between the PFD and Mariners and includes provisions for two three-year options that could possibly extend the terms of the lease through 2049.
