Good ol' American Baseball
Baseball season has begun and there is no better way to get into the spirit than an afternoon or evening at At&T Park in San Francisco. The stadium was completed in 2000 and received glowing reviews as one of the greatest and most beautiful stadiums on earth. Getting to the park is easy as all types of public transportation, including the Golden Gate ferry, converge within walking distance. AT&T Park looks out across the bay, just around the corner from the Ferry Building. The Bay Bridge soars over head and Alcatraz is right across the water. It is not uncommon to see homeruns splash in the water, landing in McCovey Cove. Also, watch the kayakers and Yachters who have pulled up alongside the stadium duck and cover as balls fly into the bay. If you are a traveller like me, it is unlikely that you have secured tickets before your arrival to San Francisco. If that is the case, you still have a chance to see the game without going over your budget. Stubhub.com offers extremely affordable and last minute ticket options. Stating at just $6, you can see the Giants and the great views of the Bay. Just search for the San Francisco Giants and a range of dates and prices will appear. If you find a real bargain you could spend your extra money on some orange and black to really blend into the local crowd.
