A summer sunset glows shades of pink and orange as the day wanes behind the two professional sports stadiums in Seattle. Safeco Field to the left is home to the Mariners Baseball team; it was built in the SODO (South Downtown) neighborhood of Seattle. The inaugural game was on July 15, 1999. CenturyLink Field to the right is home to the Seahawks Football team where they played their first pre-season game on August 10, 2002. The football stadium was initially named Seahawks Stadium, then Qwest Field, and just recently in late July, it became CenturyLink Field when Qwest merged with CenturyLink.
Prior to these two stadiums being built, both teams shared and played in one stadium, the Kingdome, the Seahawks began playing in the Kingdome in the summer of 1976 and the Mariniers in the summer of 1977, it was imploded on March 26, 2000, to prepare for the construction of the new Seahawks Stadium which now stands in its place.
