Editorial Review for AT&T Park – by Eric Rorer
In Short
Built by and for the Giants, this is one of the country's most stunning ballparks. Relatively intimate, the park holds 41,000--large enough for a big-league feel, but small enough to make the fans feel like they're part of the action. Stands are built along the base paths and center field is wide open, offering dramatic views of sailboats in San Francisco Bay. Sluggers frequently send homers straight into McCovey Cove.

Insider Tips
Save MoneySee the game for free: Every three innings, a new crop of fans stands and watches the game from right field. The entrance is along the port walk, near McCovey Cove.
Know Before You GoGourmet grub, like Thai food and sushi, is available along with hot dogs and more typical ballpark fare.
Look GoodBring a sweater or parka: Folks on the upper decks catch the brunt of the bay's breezes, especially during night games.

I have been to 20 or 30 games over the last two years at AT&T Park and I can say i've only been to 1 A's game in Oakland and one in spring ball. The Spring ball stadium is nicer than the one in Oakland. I've been to a few other Parks but have yet to get the total package like ya do with AT&T. I've sat in just about every section in the Park and if you go for that view behind home plate in the nose bleeds, take sunscreen, and don't drink. It can be a very steep stumble down after 3 or 4 trips to the stands. if it's a night game and you have thin skin, get seats up near the left field foul pole. you can duck inside and watch the game through the glass and be 20 feet from a bar overlooking the kids playing home run derby and the game. Stay away from the trolley in right center. I want to jab my drink straw in the next dink that rings the bell for a half inning non stop. It's a ball park folks, it's gonna be expensive. If you're low on cash, stay somewhere within 12 blocks of the stadium, walk, eat before you go to the game, don't drink or do. That'll be the cash you waste. Center field behind the scoreboard is tons of food and things for the kids. Enjoy the 3-5 hours you spend at the park. Win or lose, you'll have a good time. If you're large, sorry, do you use the extended strap when you fly on airplanes? Thats not a me problem, thats a YOU problem. say no to the 3 big macs and snackin all day playin video games and watchin soaps. If you are Fat cause of thyroid or binge eating, i think thats a handicap. get those seats or just watch through the fence in right field for 3 innings, catch your cab, and go back to the hotel with the loaded fridge. Since we're ringing in with sizes, i'm 5'11'' and 230 and i fit fine in every seat.

OK so we all go to the games but have you ever seen what the park looks like behind the scenes. Take the $10 tour and see the press box, inside batting cages, the visitors dugout and more. It's really cool and only takes a couple of hours. You can buy tickets online or buy them at the park. I had family in from the east coast and they loved it. Check it out!
