Safeco Field to become T-Mobile Park

SEATTLE — The home of the Seattle Mariners will be known as T-Mobile Park next month.

The name change will begin in January of next year and run through Dec. 2043.

T-Mobile branding throughout the ballpark will be implemented over the coming months.

The company said most of it is expected to be finished by Opening Day on March 28, when the Mariners take on the Boston Red Sox.

On T-Mobile Tuesdays, some fans will get surprise seat upgrades and free items.

According to T-Mobile:

All fans can get early access to the ballpark on game days via the T-Mobile 'Pen. This popular gathering place for fans spans from the bullpens behind Left Field to Center Field. Opening 30 minutes before all other gates, the T-Mobile 'Pen gives fans the chance to watch Mariners batting practice and pitcher warm ups. And with this partnership, T-Mobile 'Pen will now feature a variety of new perks including surprise giveaways and a live DJ on select game days, to go with the destination food and beverage offerings.

T-Mobile customers will get some extra perks including fast-track entry, discounted tickets and exclusive offers on merchandise.
