The Last Game at the Kingdome: A Baseball Love Story

People really hated the Kingdome.

They called it ugly. They said it was dilapidated. They compared it to a tomb.

I loved it. It’s where I fell in love with baseball and the Mariners. It felt like home, and I felt like I grew up there.

Today is the 20th anniversary of the last Mariners game at the Kingdome. It’s one of the most fun baseball games I’ve ever been to. I want to look back on the game and relive the magic of baseball in a building that was, perhaps, an acquired taste.
