Forecast is sketchy, guess it's going to depend on how much rain actually comes down.

U from Seattle??? Or WA? The weather is never accurate here lol
little bit of rain won't hurt nobody, if anyone expected no rain in Seattle they're high. You have to expect it and might get lucky for it to be dry.

Yea in the PNW rain should always be expected. Also hard to ever believe weather forecasts. "Rain" can be anything from a misting to a downpour. Those of us from the PNW don't consider a drizzle or misting to be rain. It won't affect much. But its also highly possible that it could be a mudder.

I love supercross, and being from the northwest i'm pumped its back. With that said, It is an absolutely terrible idea to run SX in an open stadium, in the NW, and in spring.

They should do it in Safeco instead of Centrylink. Safeco at least has the retractable roof so they can close it if its raining.

Except Mariners home opener is the following Monday... So guess that's why.

Muddy supercross races just arent the same. SX should be run dry. Outdoors, man let it rain!

I enjoy a murder or two in sx, it's cool to see how good those guys are in the slop. The last couple years I was down there I seem to remember it being damp and soft but not a real mudder.

We have had horrible weather this year. I live about 45 minutes outside of Seattle we had snow 13 times this year the last time in mid-march and ever since then it's been constant rain almost every day this weeks weather forecast does not look good at all. By this time last year we had had a couple weeks of 70 degree weather and was in the eighties last year at this time last month we didn't even break 60 degrees. And Supercross al2 weeks earlier than it has been in traditional years -

I was meaning that pretty much every Seattle sx is a mudder, and it really isn't surprising.

Not true at all . 1 murder in the last 8 years or so but it's looking like that this year.

It was so amazingly stupid to tear down a closed stadium that wasn't paid for to build a new new one. Reminds me of people trading in cars with negative equity. I certainly miss the bigger, drier, and earlier season races in the Kingdome.

It's been a really wet winter, and looks wet this coming weekend too. Sometimes the clouds will sort of pass over downtown and leave it dry while raining toward the mountains. Hopefully that will be the case.

The kingdome was a shithole. I bet your a fan of the Key Arena also.

I'll take a shithole with a roof over a taj mahal in the rain. Especially if it doesn't require another 30 years of taxes.

Couldn't care less about the Key Arena. I'm even less of a fan of paying for stadiums with my tax $ though.

They can't do it in Safeco because of the dirt. Supercross dirt would ruin the ballfield.

At least, that's what Feld has been saying since SX came back to Seattle in 2005.

Since it came back to Seattle, 2006 and 2013 are the only years I can remember having mud.

There's a chance I'll be spending my weekend at Tokul instead...but we'll see.

I don't remember last year being quite that good at this time of the year. 2015 was great, but I lived in Edmonds/Lynnwood last spring and it just about made me want to blow my brains out. I'm a native E WA guy and while I love the Seattle area for the most part, I just can't deal with the constant drizzle. The summers sure are great, though!

Seattle get's less rain than Houston, but it just seems to rain every single day for months at a time. Just enough to piss you off, not huge downpours all the time. I'd be surprised if any forecast 4 days or more out for Seattle this time of year didn't include at least some rain. The odds are just too high for it.

Unless you're renting a hotel room in King County or attending an event at the venue, your tax burden for that Stadium is probably nil. The financing is done through those mechanisms.

Safeco Field did have more of a direct effect on locals, though, because of the increased sales tax on restaurant meals. But that worked out so well that the stadium was actually paid off early (15 years) and the taxes went away so now there is no direct tax burden for that stadium.

The building of Safeco and the Clink have really revitalized that area, that's for sure. The increased tax revenue from the development has got to be a net revenue for the city and county, especially considering how the Stadiums were financed in the first place. I wasn't fully gung ho for either of them, but they have turned out to be pretty successful examples of how stadiums can be built and paid for without onerous taxation and can help spur development for a city.
