Play Ball!

Wednesday we spent pretty much the whole day at or near AT&T Park. After taking the BART train into town, we arrived at the ballpark about 11 am. We had tickets for the stadium tour at 12:30, so we spent some time browsing the "Dugout" store. The tour lasted about an hour and 45 minutes, and we got to see pretty much all of the stadium, including the visitors dugout and indoor batting area, the press box, and one of the suites. Here's some pics from the tour.

After the tour we went back and made some purchases at the store (I had to get my Giants gear) and then had lunch at a little diner down the street. Then we walked around the outside of the stadium and checked out the marina and statues.

We entered the park about 5:15 and headed up to our seats. We were in right field, front row. Batting practice was going on so Mike got out his glove and stood at the rail with a bunch of other fans, hoping for a ball. He didn't get one, he was competing with cute little girls :)


The game started at 7:15 and seemed to go pretty quick. Our section seemed to get pretty rowdy, and at least 2 fans got tossed! Unfortunately, the Giants lost, but we had a great time.
