The Seattle Mariners won't have to worry about finding a new home for a long time. The team has agreed to a new 25-year lease at Safeco Field.
The extension includes two three-year options which can extend the overall lease term through the year 2049.
"We want this ballpark to be our home for the next 100 years," Mariners chairman John Stanton said. "Safeco Field should be to Seattle and to the Mariners what Wrigley Field is to Chicago and the Cubs and Fenway Park is to Boston and the Red Sox. We sincerely appreciate our partnership with the PFD, who share our vision to ensure that our fans will continue to enjoy Major League Baseball in a state-of-the-art facility for decades to come."
The Mariners moved from their previous stadium, the Kingdome, to Safeco Field during the 1999 season. The extension comes at a good time as the club unveiled its statue honoring Mariners legend Ken Griffey Jr. outside the stadium just over a year ago.
