Emerald City sports traffic jam

[Brad Beam]

Hearkening back to the days of dual-use stadia, Seattle has a possible problem on Sunday.

 

Should the Mariners (currently down 1-0) make it to a Game 4 at home, the Seahawks game across the street will shift to a 5:30 ET kickoff. (First pitch is at 3:07.)

After Tuesday, I'm hoping that problem comes to pass. :-) 

In general, the Seahawks and Mariners avoid scheduling home games at the same time, although there have been Sounders and Mariners games at the same time. There is an agreement in place that dates back to the opening of the Seahawks stadium that says the Mariners would have priority for playoff games (not that this has been an issue since 2001...), so I'm guessing 5:30 Eastern (2:30 local) was the latest the NFL would let them go. 

I'm going, but I'm glad I'm not driving. Parking for 110,000 people that afternoon is going to be an absolute madhouse.

Enjoy. And good luck with traffic.

By the way, a couple of Fox's football games on Sunday have had announcer changes because the originally scheduled play-by-play guys (Joe Davis and Adam Amin) are working baseball.

They solved it by playing a double header tonight…
