Mariners have the roof so no reason for them not to play

Would the winds over the Husky stadium make that less smoke filled?

Basically TV infrastructure and 100 yard field is all they need...

Thats like saying leaving your windows open is ok because your house has a roof :p

I don't think the Tacoma Dome has the TV infrastructure.

It'd be more like leaving all your windows open, all your doors open, and removing an entire exterior wall.

T Mobile park is very much an open air stadium even with the roof closed.

It's the Tacoma Dome's time to shine

Yes! That would be cool.

Side story, back in August '76 they came over to Spokane to play one exhibition game vs the Bears while the Kingdome was still under construction. Joe Albi stadium also hosted Kenny "The Snake" Stabler when he was with the Spokane Shockers.

Unfortunately our air quality is also super poor right now. Hopefully they have a plan B.


I was at that preseason game against the Bears. I distinctly remember looking through my binoculars at the logos on the helmets and knew I had found my team.

In case anyone needed a visual, this is what it looks like inside T Mobile Park with the roof closed. Notice how one of the 4 sides of the stadium doesn't have a wall.

Thanks. Haven't been there for 15 years so didn't remember that it was open like that

Air quality changes over time, you can look at the latest here. SF played at about 160 i believe, and I think the Hawks would do the same. Above 200 is where I think they would seriously consider alternatives per the following blurb from their discussion about that SF/ARI game.
Readings that consistently measure above 200 (“very unhealthy”) in the immediate vicinity could cause the game to be delayed or relocated.

Everything that was in SF moved north. Look at this satellite pic from last week.
