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.

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!

Pac Bell aka AT&T Park is one of the most awesome ballparks on the face of the planet. I follow the A's and the Giants and I like both teams but sorry A's fan about your post. The Coliseum is dreadfully outdated and if you think the Giants ballpark is in a bad neighborhood I have feared for my life being in the area around the A's park; it's total g-etto. The A's do deserve better. But this is suppose to be about Pac Bell (I hate the "new" AT&T). This is the greatest of the new modern era ballparks with nearly no bad seats in the house. Awesome food, spectacular scenery of the Bay, an incredible array of delicious food, just about any kind of beer or drink on earth is available; by far way vast improvement over the 'Stick. I hear they have a new hi def scoreboard this season and last season they replaced all the tube tv's with flat panels so when you go to get those garlic fries which are to die for, you can watch the plays while standing in line. I've been to Wrigley and it is a monument to it's era but when it comes to enjoying the old ballgame in a modern era the Giants ballpark is the place to be 1000% hands down. Just be sure to bring a lot of $$$ to enjoy the food and beer with; it isn't cheap. But it's totally worth it.
Pros: Awesome sightlines, greatest concessions and drink selection ever, location
Cons: Parking - take mass transit you can't park here, food is expensive
