The Seattle Mariners will extend the protective netting at Safeco Field for the upcoming season to include protection behind both dugouts.

The Mariners announced the finalized plans Wednesday. The new netting, which will be in place before the opener on March 29 against Cleveland, will extend to the outside edge of both dugouts and be 11 feet high.

Seattle worked with Major League Baseball and design firm HOK to come up with the engineering and design for the new netting.

"Fan safety and ballpark experience are always top of mind for us," Mariners president Kevin Mather said in a statement.

"We believe we have a design that improves safety and uses the latest materials and industry standards to minimize the impact on sightlines."
