MY TAKE ON THE PARK
LOCATED JUST 30 MILES NORTH OF SEATTLE, EVERETT OFFERS SUBURBAN
SEATTLE FANS A CHANCE TO LOOK INTO THE FUTURE. AN OLD TIME LOOKING PARK WITH SOME COMFORT MAKE A TRIP TO EVERETT A GOOD CHOICE
FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT
WANT TO HEAD BACK TO THE BIG CITY.
BEFORE I START ON EVERETT, LET ME JUST SAY SEATTLE IS A MAJOR
CITY WITH MAJOR CITY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AND BIG CITY TRAFFIC. PLUS THERE IS A LOT TO SEE WITHIN 4 HOURS OF EVERETT SO I
WAS STUCK IN THE EMERALD CITY TRAFFIC AND ARRIVED TO MY FIRST AQUA SOX GAME A LITTLE LATE. MIDDLE OF
THE 1ST INNING, I
AM USUALLY AT THE GAME 90 MINUTES PRIOR TO FIRST
PITCH.
TO MY SHOCK, I FOUND A PARKING LOT RIGHT NEXT TO THE PARK, BEHIND
THE OUTFIELD WALL. THE REASON FOR THIS SHOCK SHOCKED ME MORE, $6 TO PARK. $6 FOR THE NORTHWEST LEAGUE?? HUH? OK I LEFT THE
CAR BEHIND AND WALKED UP THE HILL FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE MAIN ENTRANCE.
ANOTHER SHOCK, THE TICKET PRICES. IN '07 DIAMOND VIEWS WERE $15
AND FIELD BOXES WERE $12. I SETTLED FOR AN UPPER BOX WHICH WERE $10. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE UPPER BOX
BECAUSE THESE SEATS
ARE SO COMFORTABLE. WIDE DARK BLUE SEATS MAKING ME HAPPY I DIDN'T HOLD BACK THE $3 FOR GENERAL ADMISSION. THESE SEATS ARE
DEFINITELY
WORTH THE $3.
AS FOR THE PARK ITSELF, IT ALWAYS MAKES A GAME BETTER WHEN YOU
ARE COMFORTABLE AND I WAS HERE. HOWEVER, WHEN I WANTED SOMETHING TO EAT I HAD TO WALK DOWN THE ALUMINIUM STAIRS AND ONTO
AN ALUMINIUM WALKWAY, MAKING ME WONDER HOW THEY KEEP PEOPLE FROM SLIPPING HERE IN THE UPPER NORTH WEST. DOWN ANOTHER
SET OF STAIRS TO THE CONCESSION AREA, WHICH MAKES
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU JUST LEFT THE PARK. THERE IS A HUGE AREA WITH A SOCCER
FIELD, TOO BAD THEY DON'T HAVE SOME SORT OF BASEBALL THING OVER THERE.
COMPLETELY AWAY FROM THE GAME, THE CONCESSION AREA
OFFERS HOT DOGS, BRATS AND COFFEE.
ONE OTHER AREA TO KNOCK, I LIKE THE MANUAL SCOREBOARD BUT YOU
HAVE TO GIVE ME AN AB# .. I CAN TAKE NO NAMES BUT I NEED THE AB.
A GAME HERE HOWEVER IS A PRETTY RELAXING NIGHT. WHILE SITTING
IN YOUR COMFORTABLE SEATS, MOTHER NATURE PROVIDES SOME REAL GOOD LOOKING SCENERY FOR YOU TO ENJOY BETWEEN INNINGS. BEING IN
A SEATTLE SUBURB, THE AQUASOX KEEP THE CURRENT MARINER GAME UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE GAME.
AS FOR THE PARKING, IT APPEARED THAT IF YOU ARRIVED TO THE GAME
EARLY ENOUGH, THERE ARE PLENTY OF PLACES TO PARK FREE IF YOU DON'T MIND WALKING.
