So, after being rejected at the gate, a lady heard what happened and offered Alon her extra ticket for free, which happened to be 20 rows behind 1st base!  It was a great stroke of luck.  At the home plate gate, there is a huge chandelier made of about 100 glass baseball bats, which is awesome.  After getting in the field, we went around the park to get a few different perspectives.  Safeco has a standing area in dead center, which offers mostly a younger crowd an interesting view of the action.  In addition, there is a fence directly on the bullpens which allow fans to get an amazing view of the pitchers warming up. 

The game started off very sloppy, with Felix Hernandez loading the bases in the 1st.  Luckily, he only gave up one run.  Then, the Red Sox pitcher, who just came up from AAA walked 4 and hit 1 batter in the first, and let off 3 runs.  The pitching wasn't too great, but this helped us see 3 home runs in a classic pitchers ballpark.  Boston came back a few times during the game, but the M's managed to hold on to the lead and end up victorious.  After the game, we went to a campground south of the city, and slept there for the night.
