AT & T Park is a magnificent stadium, right on the edge of the bay.
This is the view heading up the stairs into the ground.
Pretty good seats too! Thanks to Al Jamieson from the Cal Club, we were able to secure the equivalent of Medallion Club seats, right behind home plate. A great place to perhaps snag a foul ball.
The pesky SF fog rolling in.
The game was pretty foreing to most of us, but Alan Pritchard knew what was going on. A baseballer in his teenage years, Alan was able to advise the uninitiated as to the progress and the strategy.
The crowd remains quite involved, and the atmosphere is great when a pivotal play is made. In between innings, there is always something to keep the crowd occupied.
Being the Giants first set of home matches, the game was a sell out. Approximately 41500 people.
Quite a few foul balls were caught in the stands, but only one in our section though. About five seats away from me, and only a row ahead of Michael Merrett. These proud Giants fans get to take the ball home.
Perhaps if Michael was a little more ready when the foul ball came he may have reached across and plucked it away. Nice scarf by the way!!!
After 10 innings and nearly 5 hours, the home side succumbed to the Arizona Diamondbacks, leaving the crowd (who had nearly all gone) feeling flat.
A big thank you to all of our tour participants for the great time we had over the past two weeks. We hope that you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did, and that the experiences were what you expected.
I would also like to thank all of the members, professionals, and club managers at the various private clubs that helped us with access along the way.
