Last night we made our way to AT&T Park to watch the San Francisco Giants play the San Diego Padres. It took no time to get from our hotel in Union Square to the ballpark (about a $10 cab ride) and it was a breeze getting through the turnstiles. It was probably one of the nicer, if not the nicest, ballparks I've been to (yes, I've been to Yankee Stadium and Wrigley Field) but neither one of those is located by the Bay. Also, the surrounding neighborhood looked decent and there were bars/restaurants in the vicinity in case you want to hang out before/after the game.
There's lots of food (including the popular Gilroy garlic fries) and lots for baseball fans and kids to do. But the star of the show is really the location and fact that the Bay lies just behind the park and the fact that you can walk around the perimeter of the park (at least on the lower box level) and just hang out.
We stayed until the 7th inning (Giants were up 2-0 at that point and ended up winning 4-3 in the 9th) and the only negative was an obnoxious woman who sat about three rows up from us. She constantly yelled about 3-4 statements repeatedly: 1)"Padres Suck."; 2)"B-a-r-r-y!"; 3)"Sucks to be a Padres Fan."; and 4)"Let's Go Giants!"
It's a shame that all of us in Section 132 had to be subjected to this for a majority of the game. Could I have yelled back: "Redundancy Sucks"?
