I have been a Mariners fan for years. When I used to go to the KINGDOME the Mariners had the 3rd base dugout. When Safco Field was built the Mariners moved to the 1st base dugout.....As I was watching the Mariners/Diamondbacks last night the Mariners were in the 1st base dugout. Did I miss the boat??? Or is it teams choice, on what dugout they use?

Most NL clubs have the home dugouts on the 3rd base side, in the AL, first base side., which works out well in the All-Star game. There are no hard and fast rules.

It depends on the team. Most teams use the 1st base dugout for the home team but there are a few teams that use the 3rd base dugout for the home team.

The home team always gets the Clean dugout. Because the home team takes care of they're field and dugout. The away team trashs the dugouts so much.

Most home teams use the first base dugout....however, there is no rule. A team can use the third base side if they wish

Most teams use first base, but the home team can pick which ever dugout they would like.

Normally the 3rd base side is always the home team dugout. When it is first base, it is usually because of money issues in the majors or shade in sandlot ball... jw espinosa

The home team usually gets the side that has the large club house on it side.
