Overview

  • MLB will finalize the Mariners’ ALDS start times by Friday, leaving the Oct. 5 schedule in Seattle unresolved.
  • If Game 2 at T-Mobile Park overlaps with Buccaneers–Seahawks, the NFL kickoff at Lumen Field could be delayed 90–150 minutes from its current 1:05 p.m. PT slot.
  • Officials cite limited roads, shared parking, and crowd management constraints in the SoDo district with the two venues only about a tenth of a mile apart.
  • A less likely conflict looms on Oct. 20, when a potential Mariners-hosted ALCS Game 7 could push Seahawks–Texans on Monday Night Football roughly 150 minutes later.
  • With Mariners, Seahawks, and Sounders all at home Oct. 4–5, agencies plan extra transit service and urge fans to plan ahead as game times are confirmed.
