🎟️Visitor Guide

Best Seats

Field Club seats behind home plate offer an elite view, but for the best atmosphere, sit in the Bleachers near the Coke Bottle. View Level seats offer panoramic Bay views.

Parking Tips

Traffic is heavy; use Caltrain (ends one block away) or the "Giants Ferry" from various Bay locations for a scenic arrival.

Game Day

Eat the Gordon Biersch Garlic Friesβ€”you'll smell them as soon as you enter. Visit the "Garden" in center field and take a photo with the 80-foot Coca-Cola bottle and the glove.
