Why Oracle Park is the Best Stadium in Baseball
Picture this, it's a warm summer Sunday in San Francisco. The Giants are playing a 1 pm game at Oracle Park. You drive into the city and park in a lot off the Embarcadero. You take the 30-minute bayside walk to the stadium, passing by dog parks and live music. You stop at Mo’s with your crew for a quick pregame drink and make your way across the street. You walk past statues of Giants icons like Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, and Willie McCovey. You didn’t want to spend much, so you are sitting in the upper deck of the 300s. You grab a crazy krab sandwich and take your seat. Pictured below what you see from your nosebleed seats. A stadium built on the water. It’s not just the view, it’s the die-hard fans who show up and show out to each game, no matter the state of the team. Lou Seal and his iconic spirit he brings. Tony Bennett's " I Left My Heart in San Francisco” ringing through the speakers after every win. The iconic food selection, from garlic fries to Ghirardelli. This stadium opened up in 2000, where Barry Bonds hit the first ever splash hit into the bay. The splash hit tradition carries on with 108 homers launched into the bay by the Giants. The kayakers in the water, no matter the weather ready to pounce on every ball. The iconic Coca-Cola slide and mitt in the outfield stand strong. No stadium will ever compare to the vibes, looks, and spirit of Oracle Park in San Francisco.
