		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Ok, well I’m not asking the Mariners to limit the expansions you can make to your house.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No you&#039;re not but that comment wasn&#039;t really directed towards your requests, just a general feeling of mine when it comes to enviromentalists.

I do have to ask, though, exactly how does it improve SafeCo to go green?  It might improve like-minded folks&#039; enjoyment of the place, but I seriously doubt there&#039;s a huge difference in overall fan enjoyment between paper cups and corn/vegetable based ones.

Just sayin&#039;.</description>

		<description>More local food options and CHEAPER food options in the ballpark: 
------------------------------------------------
HELL YEAH!

Go green:
------------------
Absolutely, however you can go green, do it.

Bring back fireworks: 
----------------------------------------------
A cooler home run song, and the return of the U.S.S. Mariner complete with cannons would work just as well as fireworks.

Kiss cam:
------------------
HELL NO.

Starbucks race:
-------------------
HELL NO.

Allow season ticket holders in earlier:
----------------------------------------
Sure, why not?

Allow noisemakers:
-----------------------------------------
To an extent. I certainly don&#039;t want a airhorn being fired off 2 feet away from me, but hey, let&#039;s at least start with bringing Tuba Guy inside with tuba and all.

Did you know he&#039;s never played the national anthem before a Mariners game?

Just thought I&#039;d mention that. . .</description>

		<description>First two things I would include:

1)	Expanding the Sounder for week day games would be great! The team has to get a lot more popular for that to happen. I hate driving from Olympia to Seattle 30+ times a year for a baseball games.

2)	$1 dollar water for children. $4 bottle water is nuts. The M’s can make it a PR thing. Put the M’s Moose on a re-useable water bottle and pass them out to kids. 


&lt;blockquote&gt;Go green&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Agreed

&lt;blockquote&gt;Allow noisemakers&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I am with you on the thunder sticks and cowbells and the Tuba Man being allowed in. 

The other stuff shouldn’t be allowed.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Bring back fireworks&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Fireworks for wins might help keep some people around to the end of the game.

&lt;blockquote&gt;More local food options
…replaced Kidd Valley with Dick’s&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Awesome! Love it their shakes and fires.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Allow season ticket holders in early&lt;/blockquote&gt;
YES!
Please, YES!
PLEASE, YES!

&lt;blockquote&gt;Kiss cam!&lt;/blockquote&gt;
NO! 
Please, NO. 
PLEASE, NO!

&lt;blockquote&gt;Starbucks race&lt;/blockquote&gt;
LOVE IT! 
Maybe … Latte, Mocha, Frappuccino</description>

		<description>How about get rid of the stupid music that used to be cool? We can only take Louie Louie for so many years, and the stupid &quot;funk blast&quot;. Put out some cool music that all people would enjoy. Just don&#039;t stay with the same crap everyday.</description>

		<description>Per Dick&#039;s at the stadium. I have always thought this was a brilliant idea. Dick&#039;s is a greasy guilty pleasure and a great drunken snack, which would make it great for the ball park.

From what I was told, they wanted Dick&#039;s at the stadium but wanted to jack up the prices. Dick&#039;s wanted to offer their product at their normal prices. The disagreement ended up with Dick&#039;s not selling their food in the stadium.

Conor, as far as the bio-degradable corn cups in the suite. I work up in the suites an i can tell you the bags those cups are thrown into are not bio-degradable. Now, we do use bio-degradable corn bags in the pantries but quite often compostable and non-compostable co-mingle in said bags. Which is to say nothing of the dumpsters the suites level trash goes into or its destination downstairs in the trash room</description>
