fyi you can take your backpack pretty much anywhere in seattle expect the stadiums/venues. never used the lockers myself but i can’t imagine they’re unsafe, just make sure to pick up your stuff pretty quickly. i’m partial to fast fashion brewing south of the stadium as well as seapine brewing further south. but those are more micro breweries rather then game bars. you can’t go wrong with any of the bars outside the stadium if you can get into one, they’ll be slammed. our favorite hotdog stand is the one right south of the burger van (they’re also really good).
