Baseball Game AT & T San Francisco Giants

We decided to have a leisurely breakfast before heading out to the A T & T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants baseball team (or 49ers as they are also known).

The weather had deteriorated overnight and heavy and torrential rain threatened to cancel the game. Local weather forecasters inidcated that the rain should ease off by 3pm and with the game due to start at 1pm it did not look promising.

Nonetheless, we headed out via the Muni underground train and got our first glimpse of the Park.

We made our way to our seats - known as the "nosebleed" seats because of the height in the stadium! We chose these seats primarily to get a good view of the bay - the weather had other ideas!

We found our seats and settled down for a long wait. We soaked (literally!), up the atmosphere, the view of the bay was non-existent but we could see all around the stadium, huge advertising boards, a giant baseball mit, a large coke bottle and a screen showing live interviews and golf from the Masters!

To add to the atmosphere there were several vendors selling candy floss, churros, hot chocolate and popcorn. One of whom looked not unlike Eddie Murphy!!

We waited for an hour and still the rain came down. We made our way to the food and drink area where we bought a veggie dog, comfort food.

We started to get cold and damp and after 3 hours with no start time in sight, we made the decision to abandon the game.

It was a real shame that we did not get to see any baseball played (the game eventually started at 5pm and the SF Giants won!).
Still, we were glad to have the chance to go to the Park and get a feel for the stadium, maybe next time we are in town we will see some live action!!
