Never been to any basketball or footbal games. I'll have to arrange a trip to Seattle one of these days, I think the atmosphere would be alot of fun. My sis was lucky enough to go to the national championship game in Tempe in '99, 100+ thousand as the Vols won (forget who they played, Tee Martin was the QB for Tennesse tho)

Seattle has an amazing ballpark, and beyond that, the city is an awesome place to visit. You definitely should go, especially since it is close enough that it could be done as a four day long weekend trip. Leave early enough, and you can get into Seattle in time for a game, spend two days exploring the city, drive back.
Just be warned, parking in Safeco is also $20. I just got onto a bus in Tukwila that stopped two blocks away from Safeco. $20 or $1.50? hmm...
I also went to Tropicana Field last year. Not a great ballpark, but servicable at least. Booing Bonds was fun, and a nice way to let off some frustration after watching the Flames lose. If it wasnt for that game 7 trip to Tampa, I would have gone to both Toronto and Montreal for ball games last summer.
Another good place to go watch a ball game is Winnipeg. CanWest Global Field is the best ballpark in Canada, and they pack the place for the Goldeyes.
Hockeywise, just the Saddledome, Rexall and St. Pete Times Forum.
