Overview
- Seattle officials say at least one, and possibly two, Seahawks home games may shift later if Mariners home playoff games overlap.
- The clearest conflict is Oct. 5, when ALDS Game 2 in Seattle could coincide with Seahawks–Buccaneers at 1:05 p.m. PT, triggering a 90–150 minute kickoff delay.
- A second issue could arise Oct. 20 only if the Mariners host an ALCS Game 7, with first pitch likely around 4:30 p.m. local time and Seahawks–Texans moving roughly 150 minutes later.
- City planners cite shared parking garages and limited area capacity around Lumen Field and T‑Mobile Park as reasons simultaneous major events are impractical.
- MLB’s decision on the Oct. 5 start time is expected Friday, leaving the Seahawks’ exact adjustments pending as the Mariners, who clinched the AL West, prepare to host the ALDS.
