    Best View in MLB
    Victor V.

    It's pretty well understood for those in the know that Oracle Park is a Top 2 baseball park in America. The views-location-design-amenities all combine to make it overall in my book the best MLB I've ever been to. If my math is right I've been to 20 different MLB stadiums-so I have some perspective. The thing about this park that blows just about every other stadium out of the water is the views.Most seats in this stadium have a beautiful view of the San Francisco Bay and it's breathtaking. The ambience at this stadium is pretty good-I'm not a Giants fan but I always respect the Giants fans with the enthusiasm they bring to Oracle Park. Probably the thing that most people love about this park is the location-built right on the water in China Basin-can't do much better in picking a location for a stadium. Transportation to this stadium in my book is a breeze-coming from Sacramento, we always drove down to a BART station either in El Cerrito or Orinda and then take the train across the bay to Embarcadero.Once at Embarcadero we either chose to walk the mile to the stadium or we could jump on the Muni at BART station and the train drops you off in front of Oracle. Same thing coming home but opposite. Oracle Park is known for having some of the best MLB stadium food in the country led by their Gilroy Garlic Fries-though my personal favorite is the world famous Ghirardelli Hot Fudge Sundae. I literally get one of those every visit to Oracle-the beer selection and garlic fries are very strong at Oracle but for me the Ghirardelli is a "non-negotiable". Another odd thing I love about Oracle-it's a great weather reset for those of us from hotter climates in NorCal-most evening games at Oracle jeans and a hoodie are definitely required as it's freezing out there, even in Mid-July-I love that. A design trait I love about this park is the right field bleachers,I feel everyone in the stadium should take a stroll to that part of the park at least once a game,it's so beautiful out there with the views of the fans out in the water in the boats and the kayaks-it's a great spot to watch an inning or two. Postgame it's hard to miss the aroma of all the street vendors selling "Mexican" hot dogs-the ones wrapped in bacon with all the peppers and onions-those are very hard to resist. In closing-these are some of the reasons I will stand by my statement that Oracle Park is a Top 2 stadium in baseball and everyone should try to get out there and experience this gem of a ballpark themselves.

    We had the opportunity to watch the Giants for the second time this year and enjoyed our seats right behind home plate, Row A. Right in the action but a desert for any foul balls. We arrived early this time and did a full circuit outside the stadium and then inside to take it all in. Boats in McCovey Cove, field level views from Triples Alley, souvenir shopping in the Dugout and all the great local food options (garlic fries, Crazy Crab'z sandwiches and Girardelli hot fudge sundaes). The Shield Lounge level had its own dedicated entrance right next to the ticket windows. After checking in and getting our wrist bands we had access to the lounge and took advantage of the free water bottles, soda, Cracker Jacks, popcorn and dedicated bar and seating. It also had its own set of bathrooms but it was quite small and the men's room even had a long line. From the lounge it was a quick cross over to the entrances to our seats. So simple. Unfortunately no home runs into McCovey Cove this time so none of the theatrics but still a great pounding inflicted in the Milwaukee Brewers 16-3. Always fun to watch the antics of Lou Seal. Besides the t-shirt toss, Lou Seal was jamming along with a DJ during one of the inning interludes. I've only been to a small handful of stadiums in the US and Japan and Oracle Park is still my favorite.

    Been to a few nice ballparks but I think this is the best one I've been to so far! Oracle is definitely known for being one of the best and it lived up to that reputation. First thing you notice when you visit the stadium is the beautiful brick facade and how it feels integrated with the city. You can just walk up if you are staying or parking close by or take the BART too. Outside the stadium you can see various statues, plaques, and great views of the bay. I'd recommend coming an hour early before the game because this is a park you want to walk around in definitely. There are free games below Levi's landing, a trolley car where you can take pics, and of course the giant Coca Cola and glove. The stadium is really beautiful all around and was clean and well maintained. The game experience and atmosphere was great as well. I don't think there's a bad seat in the house and the fans are passionate and energetic even though the team isn't doing very well. This is a first class game day experience and a must visit for any baseball fan!

    Take me out to a ball game!!! I love my experience here!! The giants vs the A's! Battle of the bay! I never been here before. So exciting to see new places and experience new things! So many food to try but very overpriced tbh so try to grab a plate and call it a day lol. Getting in was a breeze, no bag allowed in unless it's clear. There's a kid section so definitely come bring your kids to the game!!

    The convenience of being to basically walk right into this stadium is amazing! As an LA native who has gone to her fair share of dodger games and has endured the journey to Chavez Ravine and dealt with that parking this was a much welcomed change in baseball game experience. The stadium itself is really clean and has plenty of food and beverage options. The basic concessions were ok. The seats were a great price and we enjoyed our time very much.

    Beautiful day for some baseball

    Best ballpark in the majors. Without a doubt the most beautiful park with views at every turn. Friendly concourse. Killer food and drinks. This may not be a hitter friendly ballpark but it is a foodie's dream come true. Highlight here was the lumpia. Yes I said lumpia at a baseball game. They give you an about 10 large pieces and each one is better than the last. They serve pizza here made by the famous Tony Gemigani. He recently opened Slice House in Granite Bay. I definitely plan on making the trip there soon. The line for the crab sandwiches was super long so I wasn't able to partake but it is a world renown dish that I'll get my hands on eventually. Be sure to bring a sweater!

    I just love this ballpark! Such a beautiful view surrounding the venue. Like other ballparks.... the goodies inside are expensive so be prepared. We had the Bay Bridge Sandwich - bread was fluffy and soft.... and the inside had crab, shrimp, onions, celery, etc. it was basically a seafood salad in a sandwich and it was tasty! I would get it again. Transportation Note: Best is to take CalTrain it is so easy, cost efficient, and clean! You save on sitting in traffic and paying for parking. But if you want to drive, there are parking garages/lots near by.. just be prepared to deal with traffic. Would I go back? Yes - Go Giants!

    Oracle Park had great acoustics and each seat had a decent view to the ball field. Park food is always overpriced but the Japanese hot dog is pretty good. Fries are nice and crispy.

    My family and I visited Oracle Park, home to baseball's San Francisco Giants. As a die-hard LA Dodgers fan, I hate to admit it, but this stadium is beautiful and modern, yet the atmosphere feels like that of an old-time baseball stadium. This stadium offers fans many food and beverage options, relaxing areas to soak up the sun while watching the game, activities for kids of all ages, perfect views of the field from any seat, and friendly, helpful employees. The views of the bay from the stadium are stunning. We sat in the front row of the left-field bleacher seats, and our view of the game was incredible. We felt so close to the field and players that it seemed as if we were on the field ourselves. Tip: If you plan to sit in the outfield bleacher seats, note that they offer no back support. Stadium seats are not allowed in this stadium, but seat cushions are OK. My wife recently had knee surgery, so climbing stairs to our seats was a challenge. I spokento usher Jessica, who was assigned to the very top of the left-field bleachers. Jessica was understanding and let us sit in unused seats with back support at the very top of our section for the entire game. This was arranged with the understanding that if the seat's ticket holders arrived, we would move back to our original seats. Fortunately, no one claimed these seats, so we were able to stay there the whole time. Ushers like Jessica deserve praise for their professionalism, kindness, and genuine effort to give guests like my family and me a truly wonderful, enjoyable, and memorable experience. Thank you!

    Best ballpark in the league. I actually prefer the upper levels because of the amazing views.

    Gorgeous stadium right by the water. Crazy Crab'Z Sandwich ($32) -- This was the FIRST thing I got in line for when I arrived. The line was extremely long, but I got my food within 10 minutes. The garlic bread had a perfect crisp & smelled HEAVENLY. You MUST use the lemons they give you for your sandwich. Gilroy Garlic Fries ($14) -- This was described as an iconic, signature menu item at Oracle Park. While I was in line for crab sandwiches, the lady in front of me even told me where the ORIGINAL fry stand was to get the best quality. Unfortunately, it was super disappointing. The fries were borderline soggy which ruined the entire experience. It did smell delicious though. Lumpia (10 pieces for $16) from The Lumpia Company -- I was expecting something super delicious since I've heard good things about their Oakland location... it was average.

    San Francisco Giants ballpark is the best MLB ballpark! Not only is it the ballpark of my home team, it's fun, exciting, has great views, and good food. This ball park has changed names four times so far and is currently called Oracle Park. The view of the bay is gorgeous in the background and on a sunny day, it's like magic. The park is family friendly. Coca Cola slides are fun for kids and there are many areas to play in the back, including some arcade games. I always enjoy the garlic fries and Giants home run dog from the Doggie Diner cart. Recently, I had the Ghirardelli world famous hot fudge sundae and it was delicious. Food is expensive, but good. The SF Giants regularly have free giveaways such as bobbleheads, shirts, hats, etc and themed events, making the baseball experience even more fun. I love Hello Kitty day! The weather can be brutally cold some evenings, and even daytime, with the chilly air, wind, and fog. And on other days, it can be sunny, warm, and gorgeous. Watching the seagulls come for the food at the end of each game is always funny. I've been to the Giants ballpark many times and have always enjoyed it. At the most recent game I attended, I got to see a grand slam by Harrison Bader! How lucky we were! Although the Giants have been up and down, the 2010 years were the best, 2010, 2012, and 2014. Great decade for the Bay Area!

    Beautiful ball park with a million dollar gorgeous view of San Francisco Bay. Easy transportation by bus, street car, train, or parking lot nearby. Very well-organized, professional, helpful and thoughtful staff here. Many food & drink options that emphasize local foods. Many seat options to choose from around the ball park. Fun to walk around the place to check out displays such as World Series trophies, the giant mitt & coke bottle slide, the cable car, and many statues and plaques to admire on many famous ball players. I've been coming here for years with my family and will keep coming back for games. I also appreciate that the park hosts many other non-baseball events. Go Giants!

    Are the parking lots at Oracle open for parking or do you have to find street or parking garage parking?

    The lots are open and they are overpriced as usual. No street parking available in the area on game days, park far away from the center and take a ride hailing service instead.

    They don't have lockers inside the park. They recently added a service where you can rent lockers ($$) outside the ballpark at the Marina Gate entrance.…

    Can you take food in Tupperware or sandwiches?

    Per the website: Outside food and beverage is allowed to be brought into Oracle Park, however you will be subject to search upon entering w/ these items. Beverage requirements: only sealed plastic bottles & soft-sided juice containers are permitted.

    I need a more recent answer so here I go. Can you bring outside food into a Giants game? Also I know I can bring a sealed water bottle, but can I bring a water bottle like a hydro flask with juice for a kid or water?

    Not sure why you need a more recent answer, since the policies haven't changed. Yes, you can bring food in. I suggest keeping it in clear containers or ziplocks since your… 

    Dugout club seats?

    What's the question? There are club level seats behind the dugout.

    Are the concessions open for concerts?

    Some are. Mostly geared for drinks but a few of the eateries are open. The drinks are super expensive when we were there Ed Sheeran beer was 15 and crappy wine was 50 for a smaller plastic carafe

    Are those collectible large souvenir cups refillable? If so can you bring them back to future games?

    I tried but seems no they not refillable future games just that same night! That same night, one free refill, hope this helps!

    Parking? How do you purchase a Lot A permit? Or any suggestions for parking?

    It's safer to purchase it online because then you'll know that you'll get in but you can if you find an attendant pay for parking when you get there but it's a little more complicated.

    Do they let us bring sealed bottle of water/soda and sealed food inside?

"Kezar Stadium" is usually not brought up in conversations these days considering this place isn't frequented as much as previous decades. Located at the southeastern corner of Golden Gate Park off of Lincoln Way and Stanyan St., this historic multi-purpose stadium that is used for has been in operation ever since breaking ground way back in 1925. Since it was a little early for dinner, I came here on a whim during the afternoon of Friday 11/29/2024 at around 5:00pm. I parked nearby on Lincoln Way but there is a dedicated lot that is adjacent to the main entrance. Much to my surprise, this entire stadium is open to the public while the standard stadium hours are from 6:30am-10pm. What I particularly liked is how clean the grounds are here with an excellent running/jogging track, well-manicured natural grass on the field, a fully functional scoreboard w/public restrooms, and a respectable amount of seating on both sides of the field. From its long history, this stadium once seated up to 60,000 fans from 1925 until 1989; most notably the San Francisco 49ers that used it from 1946 to 1970. There has also been numerous collegiate games held here as well as track & field, rugby, lacrosse, soccer, and much more. The previous stadium was demolished in 1989 and downsized and rebuilt to its current setup that only seats a fraction of what it once seated at around 10,000 fans. These days, the stadium still holds graduation ceremonies, soccer matches, and various high school football games. All in all, "Kezar Stadium" is a piece of San Francisco history as it is located in a much quieter part of the city and away from all the hustle and bustle. All in all, I encourage everyone to check this place out if you haven't already. The grounds are kept very clean while the entire layout (even though this is a very densely populated city) to be spacious and open. My rating, an above average four stars.

Staff seemed to not care or had no way of controlling them. Lines to the bathroom were long, but moved fairly fast. We were trying to be strategic about the time we went to the bathroom during the early acts versus the main act (Gryffin). Because it was so crowded, we didn't really have an opportunity to get food. Once you're in the floor level, there's opportunities to buy alcohol. When we tried to get to the floor level, there were maybe 4-5 security people checking wristbands, but people were hopping over walls and such, so they couldn't really enforce people having wristbands. If you leave the floor to go to the bathroom, you can't easily walk back inside, so you had to endure going through the security screening for wristbands again. Despite security not being able to enforce wristbands, thankfully the floor was not completely full. Something that I noticed on the floor was that all the people who were tall or had large fans obscuring the view for people behind them, were located towards the center line, so it was way better to be left or right of center. If you go towards the back, there's also way more space to stand and breathe, as well as get a better view. The lights were amazing, sound was very good and loud, and the production was fantastic by Gryffin. Leaving for us was fairly easy, since we booked it once the set was over. They had clear markings for exiting the parking lot. Unfortunately parking was ~$30-40. There wasn't really anyone to organize people when we entered, people just kinda zoomed in/cutting as well. Overall, Gryffin had a great set but this venue is pretty bad as social media portrays it. To be honest, it's probably more of the crowds. Not sure if I'd really want to see any acts here in the future.

    I love catching a Giants game, but I was a somewhat reluctant fan of live games, until club level…read morechanged all that. We have club seats with friends, and while 80-plus games a year is not in the cards, a few games each season is now something we really look forward to. Good views, nice food and drink options, and plenty of time to catch up, all with the energy of the crowd, but with a little more breathing room. Recently, we were invited to the Audi Dugout Club at field level. Watching players warm up just steps away was inspiring. The Giants may not always win, but here in this beautiful ballpark on the Bay, a Giants game is a must-do.

    I had high hopes for The Cove at Oracle Park, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to…read moreexpectations. I ordered the crab Louis, and it was pretty underwhelming. The presentation and taste felt more like a basic tuna salad you'd get at Subway rather than a fresh, quality seafood dish you'd expect at a ballpark in San Francisco. They used shredded lettuce as the base, which made it feel cheap, and the crab was mixed with mayo--definitely not what I was hoping for. It lacked that fresh, bright flavor that a good crab Louis should have. We also ordered the chicken tenders and fries from Derby Grill. The chicken tenders were surprisingly skinny and underwhelming, but the fries actually had good flavor and ended up being the highlight of that order. While the food was not so great overall, the seats were amazing. The location offered a fantastic view of the game and the sea--you could even watch ships passing by, which made the experience feel special despite the disappointing food. Overall, come for the views, not the food.

    It's within walking distance to J-town which is really nice in terms of getting food before a show…read more(most things are not late night in SF, so this is the play since after a show, most things will already be closed) and it is possible to find free parking if you have eyes that search and see. My boyfriend and I came here to see TK from Ling Tosite Sigure (real anime heads know - Tokyo Ghoul, Psycho Pass, etc. or if you're a fan of math rock). We got the GA tickets and waited in the line for the venue around 40 minutes before the show. We were still in the first 100 or so people in, we were in the line when it curved the corner near the other shopping plaza near the bus stop, so it wasn't too fisted when we went. This was absolutely not the case for the LA show, so the vibes in NorCal versus SoCal are completely different. Staff was welcoming (as best they could) and efficient in checking us in and security was friendly in what they had to do. Much better than some of the other venues I've been to. You have to go upstairs to get to the live house concert stage area. It looks very high end with the lighting, curtains, balcony area, and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. It's not as grandiose as say the Mayan (RIP), but nice nonetheless. We were probably 3-4 layers of people from the front, but was able to see all of the band members quite well and I was accidentally in the band's Instagram post (with my very funny and cooked back posture). Sound quality was great and really highlighted not only TK's vocals, but the technicality and skill he has on guitar (dude had to swap guitars between each song), as well as all of the support members (their support drummer from Crossfaith has such good stage presence). Nothing sounded too drowned out or overpowering. Good acoustics. The merch table was at the side and I didn't pay too much mind to where the bar was. When walking up stairs I was wondering where to go and loudly asked that question and a kind staff working the coat check in the opposite direction pointed to where to go. I think my only qualm though is the stairs that everyone has to take up, and more importantly down since it gets super crowded. However, they do have an accessible elevator for those who may require it or are ADA. What I love about this venue is the apples they give attendees. Great post concert snack. Sweet and crispy apple. I really love that they do this. And apparently this was the only tour stop that had a free poster with the artist playing too. Love that extra goodie for concert goers since I didn't purchase any merchandise. If there's a band or musician that I know is going to go to the Fillmore, I'm going to try to make the show since I really enjoyed it here!

    1 Star - Awful Manager and Staff Experience…read more We attended the Alex Isley concert at The Fillmore and brought our 8-year-old daughter. It was her very first concert, and she absolutely loves Alex Isley. The venue was standing room only, but we found a small corner near the front where we weren't blocking anyone's view. Early in the evening, one female staff member seemed to have an issue with us, although every other staff member we encountered was friendly and accommodating. At one point, I asked a staff member if it would be okay to put my daughter on my shoulders so she could see the stage. He told me it was absolutely fine, and several other staff members nearby clearly had no issue with it. Later, the same female employee returned and began harassing my wife about our daughter being on my shoulders or standing on a bench that was not obstructing anyone's view. She made a scene unnecessarily and then escalated the situation to a manager. The manager arrived and was just as rude. Although I complied immediately because I didn't want to create a scene in front of my daughter, we felt singled out and bullied throughout the interaction. Ironically, other concertgoers immediately tried to help by offering our daughter space in front of them so she could see the performance. Even more telling, a member of Alex Isley's security team witnessed what happened, approached us afterward, and kindly arranged for my wife, daughter, and me to meet Alex after the show. That completely made our daughter's night and turned what could have been a very disappointing experience into a special memory. The kindness shown by Alex Isley's team and fellow concertgoers stood in stark contrast to the behavior of The Fillmore's manager and this particular staff member. Because of this experience, I will not return to The Fillmore and cannot recommend the venue to others. 1/5 stars.

Though it has six regulation soccer pitches on the grass field, a .67-mile cycle track, and a .75-mile dirt track used for running and horse riding, it is best known as a venue for annual footraces (Bay to Breakers), competition (Ultimate Frisbee), and concert venue. Vendors and surrounding businesses appreciate the economic benefit of shows, though local residents don't like the congestion, crowd, noise, trash, and limited park access. Some notable performances: 1. Human Be-In (1967), which helped launch Summer of Love, with Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead 2. Tibetan Freedom Concert (1996) w/ Smashing Pumpkins, Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Björk, Foo Fighters. 3. Outside Lands Festival (since 2008): A premier music and arts festival, featuring headliners like Paul McCartney and Kanye West. 4. Hardly Strictly Bluegrass (annual, free). and what I attended: 5. Grateful Dead & Company (2025): The band celebrates its 60th anniversary with a residency of three nights, drawing around 60,000 fans per day. Though on the last day, only 59,999 went home.

    do you want license to cheer as girls in shorts throw each other around and try to knock other…read moregirls down, while racing around a track on skates? I think you do. which is why, roller derby lives again! it is a ridiculously entertaining cross between WWF and NASCAR, with funky, 70's realness, 4 wheeled skates (remember those?) and an enthusiastic crowd which was mostly families and hipsters when i went. roller derby is not something I know much about, I am not the WWF type, and I have never seen the reality show (Rollergirls?) so i was pretty clueless about what was going on--but it doesn't matter. you really don't have to know the rules to enjoy it. Just have some drinks and watch the girls (and guys) in shorts fly around the banked track, knocking each other down and doing a milder version of WWF-style takedowns, complete with skate kicks, flipping out of the ring, and generally scrubbing out on a regular basis. But don't worry, kids, the violence isn't real. The fans (who presumably do know what is going on, unlike me) are very enthusiastic, there is a scoreboard and everything, and the overall effect is the fun part of a sporting event, but on fast forward. and with hair-pulling. Also the skating itself takes talent, and is pretty amazing. And they all have great nicknames. I don't think they sell drinks there (maybe beer?) so make sure you get some drinks beforehand (pick a bar, any bar, on haight street, or kezar pub is right across the street from the entrance, if you like crowded smelly sports bars). or sneak drinks in, there was no security check. There is a parking lot next door, in case you can't find anything on the street. The tickets are around $10, the seating is bleacher style, and if you are from SF, you are rooting for the Bay City Bombers--colors are orange and black, like the giants. Last time I went to root for my friend Ron, #30 (Roll, Ronny, Roll!) and we made our own signs and fit right it. If i remember right, you can get sodas and popcorn there, not much else. For $10, this is something fun and different to do on a Sat night. And, it is over at 10 or 10:30, plenty of time to go out after. The next "bout" is Sat Aug 18th @ 8PM at Kezar. And if you really like it, they have open track times for the general public/ training. There is more information on the (awful) website: baycitybombers.com

If 6 were possible, that would be my rating. And the skaters and crowds here are diverse, a true reflection of S.F.and inclusive of the Bay Area folk mix. A great time for family, bf, gf, bff , buds, Derby-curious and wannabes, whatever. Wonderful to see kids there having a great time too. And NOT EXPENSIVE an event at that!! Uh, $10 general, $5 kids!! I totally enjoyed the Bombers and Orlando Thunder game in February and look forward to their next Kezar game this month against the San Diego Firebirds. I haven't seen Kezar packed with a crowd like that in long time!! Roller Derby shows competition, skill, excitement, and gets the crowd into it. I was disappointed when Roller Derby went off the air/television and the league disbanded. It's totally awesome to once again have games regularly scheduled at Kezar. Easy to get to via public transit. And adequate parking for those who drive. And that the games are again being televised on KOFY TV20. This original Roller Derby is the only sport that's co-ed in alternating periods and done on the classic banked track. I prefer the co-ed than the all-girl, flat-surface/track leagues. Skating on a banked tracked is more difficult and requires real pro skill. They kick it up a notch to a higher level. The late great Ann Calvello hailed from San Francisco and was a Bomber herself. She revered the classic co-ed Roller Derby and would be proud of her Derby deciples and fans here. I like seeing some familiar faces and the new faces. And the new expansion teams. I will always be a die hard San Francisco Bay Bombers fan. I am happy to see the Pioneers, Red Devils and Chiefs still in the league, along with a couple of new teams. I think everybody should go see their first Roller Derby game, if they haven't already. You'll get hooked like I did. Big crowd, TV cameras, lotsa action. These skaters are jumpn', not just bumpin'. And they're flyin', showin' their swift moves. Although she gets her share of hits, that Lali-O can sure dish it out!! I truly wish there were more skaters to expand the league even more!! Some of you skate boarder dudes need to show what daredevils you really are.!! IFyou really are!! Bring on your X-skills to the banked track for some good team competition and do what you gotta do to put up them points on the scoreboard. It's okay to lose control. It's Roller Derby! Show 'em off, bring it on!! Keep the crowds roaring and on their feet!
