The Mariners and Seattle have a deal for another 25 years in the park.
The Seattle Times
After a delay, a renegotiation, some public outcry and general local politics, the Washington State Major League Baseball Stadium Public Facilities District (PFD) Board and Seattle Mariners have reached a final agreement on a new 25-year ballpark lease for the venue formerly known as Safeco Field.
The PFD Board on Monday approved the lease and related agreements during the regular quarterly meeting with a 7-0 vote in favor.
While it was unlikely for the Mariners to leave Seattle, the lease and companion non-relocation agreement ensures that the Mariners will remain in the city for the next 25 years.
Portland, OR is ready to build a new stadium, and I would not be surprised if that helped settle the issue.
