SEATTLE, Wash. – The Seattle Mariners today announced plans for expansion across the street from T-Mobile Park, naming the development, The Boxyard. This complex, which is already home to Hatback Bar & Grille and Steelheads Alley brewery, will now include Victory Hall and a baseball and softball training facility.

The Boxyard, which is named after the development’s ties to the railroad industry dating back to 1914, is part of the club’s larger plans to continue to help revitalize SODO and invest in the neighborhood. “We’re excited about the expansion of The Boxyard and hope that these new businesses will provide more economic opportunities and equitable outcomes for the broader community. This is only the beginning, and we’re looking forward to seeing this neighborhood continue to evolve and prosper,” said Fred Rivera, Seattle Mariners Executive Vice President.

Victory Hall, a 9,500 square-foot event space attached to Steelheads Alley, will open in time for Opening Day on March 30, 2023. This new space, which dons the original 1914 building’s brick walls and exposed wood beams, will be available to rent for corporate events, weddings, and more. The space will also be transformed into an indoor beer garden during game days and will host a variety of other public events throughout the year, including concerts, watch-parties, and community celebrations.

Formerly Great Floors, the new baseball and softball training facility will be an all-encompassing training complex offering eight batting cages, state-of-the-art technology and an open field space in the middle. The venue will not only host clinics and camps, but Little League events, kids’ parties, corporate events, pregame activities ahead of Mariners, Sounders and Seahawks games, and more. Within the space, there will also be a Mariners retail store and a concession booth offering pre-packaged snacks, beer, wine, and soft drinks. The facility will be run by EL1, a national sports training company founded by former Mariners prospect Aaron Trolia and former collegiate football player Jameel Cante. The training center will open later this summer.
