5 Reasons To Love AT&T Park

San Francisco has it all, including the best baseball stadium in the country.

1. The Food

You won't find crappy hot dogs and $10 macrobrews at this stadium. The typical SF foodie will be seen chowing down on a Dungeness crab sando from Crazy Crab'z, a Cha-Cha bowl from Orlando's Caribbean BBQ or even an ice cream sundae from the Ghirardelli stand.

A trip to AT&T park isn't complete without the famous Gilroy Garlic Fries.

Chowder served in a sourdough bread bowl is enough to make anyone go weak at the knees.

2. It's basically a giant playground (pun intended)

It has a slide...

The Coca-Cola superslide is made up of two slides: the "guzzler" and the "twist-off". It stands next to a massive 1927 replica of an old, 4-fingered Giants mit.

3. The Views

There isn't a bad seat in the house

Seriously. There isn't. I mean common, look at that view!

Hop in a kayak and explore the bay! If you're lucky, you may even catch a game ball.

4. Special Events

The Giants are all about celebration special events, whether social, heritage, or awareness based. The events rage from Italian Heritage night, Girl Scout Day, Yoga Day, and even Metallica Day.

5. Lou Seal

One of the most valued Giants players and the ultimate mascot, Lou Seal is one of the many special things at AT&T. In fact, Lou Seal hasn't missed a home game in 16 seasons!

If the amazing food, scenic views, and adorable mascot aren't reasons enough, AT&T Park is home to an amazing baseball team (did I mention 3 World Series Championships in 5 years?) and even more amazing fans. I love my team and I love my city.
