The Issue

Many teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs, in addition to Seattle's own Kraken hockey team, have full-time organists who enhance their home games with carefully chosen melodies tailored to each moment of play. Bringing a dedicated organist to T-Mobile Park would create a similar, unforgettable experience for both die-hard and newer fans and solidify the cultural connection to the sport's roots.

A recent Reddit discussion among Seattle Mariners fans showed overwhelming support for bringing a live organist to T-Mobile Park, with over a thousand upvotes and such comments as:

  • "I’ve been saying this for years. YES. I would be so happy if the Mariners did this."
  • "An actual organ player would be miles ahead of what most ballparks including our own have today."
  • "Yes please. Anything to get rid of the endless amounts of canned in rally music after every pitch."
  • "I would love a real organist that can play off what’s happening in the game! Heck the Rockies even had an organist set up in their spring training stadium behind the seating in the concourse on a big electronic setup it was so cool!"
  • "An entire stadium singing sea shanties might be fun!"
  • "100% agree! The organ is so classic and additive to the game vs the ‘get loud’ graphics at Tmobile and most other parks."
  • "My first in Stadium game was the throwback game with the Chicago Cubs in 2013 that USED one! It spoiled me to think they always used one there. I would LOVE to see one implemented there!"

Moreover, hiring a full-time organist would support local musicians and the arts community in the Seattle area. It represents an investment in talent and culture, providing a platform for showcasing exceptional musical skill in a dynamic and engaging way. The Seattle Kraken's own Benny Drawbars has even already expressed his desire to play for the Mariners during the baseball season.

We urge the management of the Seattle Mariners and T-Mobile Park to consider the vibrant impact a full-time stadium organist would have on the game-day experience. Let's enhance the fan experience at T-Mobile Park to make it one of the best in Major League Baseball.

Sign this petition to show your support for bringing live organ music back to Mariners home games and reviving a timeless baseball tradition at T-Mobile Park.
