Safeco Field's New Nickname? 'The Cell' Or 'Un-Postseason Field'

SEATTLE, WA - Last week, Forbes reported that T-Mobile will get the naming rights for Safeco Field for a cool $6 million per year. The Mariners would not confirm the Forbes report, but the prospect of the Bellevue-based cell provider getting involved poses an interesting question.

What should the new field's nickname be?

When the news broke last week, we asked you to vote on a nickname for the field or suggest one. Perhaps the best suggestion was "The Cell," which would complement CenturyLink's nickname, "The Clink." Another good one - a nod to T-Mobile's motto "The Un-carrier" - was the "Un-postseason field."

Here are the top 10 names Patch readers voted for:

• "The T" - 19.4 percent
• "We'll figure this out once the Mariners make it to the post-season" - 16.1 percent
• "Just keep calling it Safeco Field" - 12.9 percent
• "Let's be boring and call it T-Mobile field" - 6.5 percent
• "The Un-Postseason Field" - 3.2 percent
• "T-Field" - 3.2 percent
• "T-Mo Field" 3.2 percent
• "The Griff" - 3.2 percent
• "Magenta Field" - 3.2 percent
• "Anything But T-Mobile" - 3.2 percent
