The San Francisco Giants play their home games at Oracle Park. Despite going through a handful of names since it opened in 2000, Oracle Park is one of the most recognizable parks in baseball. It sits on the shores of San Francisco Bay with a patch of water known as McCovey Cove located just beyond the right field wall. A giant Coke bottle and old-fashioned baseball mitt also sit behind the left field stands, making Oracle Park even more distinct among the country's many baseball stadiums.

Where are the Best Places to Sit at Oracle Park

If you're willing to splurge a little, the best place to sit at Oracle Park is the Club Level seats. These seats give fans a full view of the field without making you feel too far from the action. Seats that are a little elevated along the 3rd base side of the stadium are also a good option for Oracle Park sports events. Not only will these seats allow you to see the entire field, but they'll also provide a view of San Francisco Bay to gaze at in between innings. These are also some of the cheapest Giants tickets available if you’re on a budget.

Tips for Visiting Oracle Park

When you attend Oracle Park events, it’s important to remember that the stadium gets a lot of sunshine during the day, especially in the outfield seats. As with most spots in San Francisco, it does cool down in the evenings – so bring layers!

It’s also possible to catch a Giants game without having to pay for tickets. There is a standing room only area behind the right field wall where fans can watch for free. The caveat is that only 75 people are allowed into the area at a time. Those 75 people are also switched out every three innings, so it’s unlikely you’ll be able to watch a whole game there.

Food to Try at Oracle Park

Oracle Park actually allows fans to bring their own snacks into the ballpark, as long as they don’t have any glass containers. That said, the food inside the park is pretty good, so you might want to grab your meal there. Check out some of the stadium favorites, including the Juicy Lou, a burger named after the team’s mascot Lou Seal, as well as a vegan burger made from plants called the Impossible Burger. There are also two bistros in the ballpark that serve an artisan menu of fresh picked fruits and vegetables.
