Special M's bus routes don't run for weekday games.
Parking shouldn't be a hassle - they're probably only expecting 25K
people, which means prices for parking at a 4-5 block distance should
be in the $10 range. The garages (Safeco or Qwest) is $19 and
you should be able to get in (getting out takes some time.)

Not really, although the garlic fries have fans. The Kidd Valley char-
broiled burgers are good. The ****ters BBQ sandwiches are my fav,
with the Ivars' Fish/Clam n' chips 2nd. We often bring in food, as
it's far cheaper (you can't bring drink bottles/cans in, but takeout
food can be brought in.)
If you have Terrace Club tickets (or can get someone to lend you
theirs), the food there is far better - hand-carved sandwiches, pasta,
even the nachos - are way better than average.

The Ivars' at Safeco is pretty good - fries are not, but the fish and
clams are first rate. If you're close to the Air****t, try 13 Coins
for first rate food; they're open 24/7 and very good for fresh seafood,
if more pricey than some places (you may find their prices reasonable.)
The Anthony's in the Des Moine Marina (3-5 miles south of the air****t)
is the best place for seafood, and probably rates as moderate.
