The Mariners product on the field isn?t the only thing in need of repairs.
Seattle?s FanFest was dampened Saturday because two of the retractable roof?s panels remained stuck in place, the result of a broken wheel and axle.
The problem was discovered Thursday, but the Mariners went ahead with the FanFest anyway. While they were able to keep most of the field and activities covered, a light rain fell on the east side of the field.
?The good news is it?s now, and not when we?re playing baseball,? vice president of ballpark operations Scott Jenkins said. ?If it happened during the season, it could be a problem. But we have time to deal with it.?
The roof is expected to be fixed next week.
According to MLB.com?s Greg Johns, the Safeco roof has failed just once during a game, that leading to a 54-minute rain delay in a contest versus the Rangers on July 23, 2000.
