Mariners playoff games could lead to 115,000 people in SoDo on gamedays

Описание: The Mariners have set the stage for an unparalleled weekend of sports and traffic.

After winning the AL West on Wednesday night, the Mariners find themselves one win away from locking down a first-round bye and home-field advantage in the American League Divisional Series (ALDS) in the Major League Baseball (MLB) Playoffs.

The MLB has already announced that the ALDS will begin on Oct. 4th, with Game Two on Oct. 5th.

The Seattle Sounders FC are scheduled to take on the rival Portland Timbers at 7:30 on Oct. 4th, and the Seahawks are playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 1:05 pm on Oct.5th.

It is likely that MLB would try to stagger the start of the games no to directly coincide with the other, but it leads to a scenario where more than 115,000 fans are trying to get to the Mariners and the Seahawks at the same time.

Metro, Sound Transit, SDOT and the WSDOT all said Thursday that they’ve had discussions about altering plans.
