I am, indeed, a certified basketball fan. No doubt about it. But when my niece bought me a ticket to watch a baseball game, after all, its an experience i will surely cherish. Besides, baseball is in my list as of one my spectator sports to watch in case the basketball season is over.We watched the San Francisco Giants vs. the Detroit Tigers with the Giants playing host at the AT & T Park in San Francisco California on June 17, 2008. Instead of beating the traffic for the 715pm first pitch and spend US$30.00 for parking, we took the CALTrain from Hillsdale into the City for US4.00 each. Bleachers area tickets cost US$8.00 and since the park is situated by the pier and embarcadero area, you definitely need to be prepared for the cold breeze.
The park is designed, and like any baseball park for that matter, to be a huge staging area of one of America's most popular sports. The park is ideal for watching what its meant for. Good seat spacing for leg and elbow room to eat. Areas to stretch out and meet and greets. Lots of families, friends and even employees of companies that own an exclusive room (a.k.a. box) use the venue for bonding time, fun and laughter.Lots of areas to grab food and souvenirs so you dont have to worry about long lines. Restrooms are all over for an efficient person to cubicle ratio. A help desk if you have questions on anything related to your situation within the park. Bottomline, I wish our basketball venue planners, contractors and architects would consider customer satisfaction ahead of profits by sacrificing space for comfort and spectator experience.
I'm sure you've heard of the traditional hotdogs and cracker jacks being sold during baseball games which cost a minimum US$5.00 for each purchase. When we left, the one thing that stuck in my mind was THE must try Gilroy's Garlic French Fries at US$4.00 each, its All-American, 
all the way.Getting out was the longest short haul train ride of our lives. We got out of the park, got the train tickets but waited for 45 minutes at the station with a ride that had many stops. But overall, its an experience of a lifetime.
