The Kingdome Big Top 1976

The Kingdome was unsung hero for the Mariners in the ’95 ALDS. If you were there, you remember the unrelenting torrent of sound from 57,000 fans crashing off the concrete walls and amplified by the overhead dome of the building. The experience was unlike anything players from either side had ever experienced. “The Kingdome was a difference maker,” said Joey Cora. “The Yankees say the same thing. When they went there they had no idea the Kingdome could be that loud. With Randy Johnson pitching in game 3 it was unbelievable. The new stadium is beautiful, but being in the Kingdome inside and the sound – without the Kingdome we don’t win that series. We don’t.”
