Attending a playoff game at AT&T Park during the San Francisco Giants’ 2012 championship season remains one of the most thrilling experiences I’ve had as a sports fan. But whether it’s a post-season contest or regular season game, being here is a treat for the senses: the up-close-and-personal feel of the seating with no bad sight lines, a beautiful view of the San Francisco Bay, and some of the tastiest ballpark food anywhere. Gilroy Garlic Fries are a must, as any Giants fan will testify. Families can get in on the fun as well in the Fan Lot above the left field bleachers where children can play on a series of slides and run around the bases of a miniature field. Bring your friends, a jacket (just in case the fog rolls in), wear orange and black, and be prepared to enjoy a most quintessential San Francisco experience.

San Francisco Giant?

This guy showed up in our section in the 7th or 8th inning and he did a great job of getting the crowd whipped into a moderate frenzy. In the end it didn’t help as the Baltimore Orioles won in overtime. But you’ve got to applaud someone who will go to such lengths to support his team.
