Features Stub
There is basically no information in this article beyond the infobox and history. Although technically there are only section stubs, I've added baseball-stub so it gets attention. The ESPN article in External Links is a good start.
New Century Park
This referred to a dreadful proposal made by the Mariners in 1994 or 95 (before the defeated referendum), which vaguely looked like a squashed baseball, and in no way resembles Safeco. AFAIK nobody ever used the term to refer to the ballpark project on the current Safeco site in its current form, and if so it certainly wasn't common. Ak13 03:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

What was safeco an acronym for? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crd721 (talk • contribs) 09:36, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

I recently uploaded a new aerial photo of Safeco Field with Qwest Field, below. Feel free to use if useful. Dcoetzee 09:56, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
WrestleMania XIX
Two points:
1. This event is not a tenant of the facility, and should not be listed as such.
2. The attendance figure cited is from a WWE press release. WWE has a history of inflating attendance figures (they still claim 90,000+ at the Pontiac Silverdome), and newspapers have an annoying habit of simply repeating what WWE claims in their press releases.
Since the pro wrestling cabal here has been rallied to threaten and intimidate anyone who dares to touch "their" articles, I'll be backing off for now, but others should be able to insert some sanity into this discussion. Stan Simmons (talk) 18:09, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Of all the places I have seen which hosted the event, WrestleMania is listed in the tenant section. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you are right. Sorry. –Turian (talk) 18:13, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- One-time events aren't tenants of a building. Sorry. Stan Simmons (talk) 19:24, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- (e/c x2):
- I agree that one-time or even short-lived annual events do not qualify as "tenants", yet you conveniently neglected to delete the short-lived Seattle Bowl as a "tenant" ([1]). That being said, these are certainly notable events that warrant mention in the article.
- I'm sorry, but you can't dismiss reliable, secondary sources based on your presently unbacked claim that "WWE has a history of inflating attendance figures". —KuyaBriBriTalk 19:31, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Find a primary source that doesn't parrot a WWE press release, or the attendance figure remains a WWE claim, and subject to scrutiny. Stan Simmons (talk) 20:26, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Naming rights
I've removed the dubious tag added by 2600:1:982C:AA0D:3075:A401:9FEB:F08A who commented,
- Dubious content. Information in the source has not been verified by either party in question. Neither tmobile nor the mariners have confirmed this name change.
A statement from T-Mobile or the Mariners would be a first-person source, which we do not use for confirmation. The naming rights going to T-Mobile has a reliable source attached:
- Brown, Maury (November 15, 2018). "New Naming Rights For Mariners' Safeco Field Going To T-Mobile". Forbes. Retrieved November 15, 2018.
Also, this doesn't meet any of the standards for disputed statement at Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute#Disputed statement. -- Pemilligan (talk) 18:25, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Proposed merge of The 'Pen into T-Mobile Park
Feature of the park with little reason to have a standalone article. The existing article on the ballpark is not long enough to warrant a split. SounderBruce 03:49, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
