Sodexo Live! and Seattle Mariners Extend Hospitality Partnership with New Long-Term Agreement at T-Mobile Park
June 30th 2026
The extension builds on a relationship that began in 1997 and reflects decades of service excellence and collaboration.
"Since 1997, our teams have shown up every single day to earn the trust of the Mariners and the fans who fill this ballpark, and this long-term extension is the most powerful reflection of that trust I've seen in my career. What we’ve built at T-Mobile Park isn’t just a hospitality program. It’s an expression of Seattle, its food culture, its community and its identity. That's what Sodexo Live! does at its best and I couldn't be more proud to commit to the next chapter of that story alongside a franchise we deeply admire."
The renewal reflects the Mariners and Sodexo Live!'s shared vision for the future and ongoing commitment to providing guests at T-Mobile Park with the best fan experience in baseball. The partnership includes significant investment to elevate the fan experience through innovative culinary offerings, enhanced technology and upgraded amenities throughout T-Mobile Park. Additional updates over the extension include the introduction of Sodexo Live! Academy to advance service excellence training and a dedicated built-out learning space designed to fine tune service and how Sodexo Live! develops its teams.
“Our goal is to deliver the best fan experience in baseball every time someone walks through the gates at T-Mobile Park, and that includes offering the best food in the game. Sodexo Live! has been an outstanding partner in that mission, bringing creativity, innovation and a deep understanding of our fans to everything we do. We’re thrilled to extend our partnership and continue raising the bar for what fans can expect on game day.”
Since the partnership began, Sodexo Live! and the Seattle Mariners have continually pushed boundaries, creating an experience that’s consistently recognized as one of the best in baseball. T-Mobile Park has become known for its innovative culinary offerings, from the viral toasted grasshoppers that made headlines in 2017 to standout menus featuring beloved Seattle favorites and local partners such as Ivar’s, Moto Pizza and Piroshky Piroshky.
Investments in the guest experience have also included one of MLB's most extensive Amazon Just Walk Out technology footprints, exclusive concepts like the new SEAcret Door cocktail experience and thoughtfully redesigned premium club spaces created with Sodexo Live!’s Hospitality Solutions Group (HSG). Together, these innovations reflect a shared commitment to celebrating local culture while delivering unforgettable moments for every fan.
This continued collaboration further strengthens Sodexo Live!'s presence in Seattle, complementing its partnerships with Washington State Ferries and Benaroya Hall while reinforcing its commitment to delivering exceptional experiences across the region.
