San Francisco, California | Home of the San Francisco Giants

There are beautiful baseball stadiums.

And then there's Oracle Park.

Sitting directly on San Francisco Bay, the home of the Giants combines baseball history, incredible food, family attractions and one of the most spectacular settings in sports.

The Giants themselves are part of baseball history. The franchise dates to 1883, beginning in New York before moving west to San Francisco in 1958. Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Barry Bonds, Buster Posey and generations of great players have worn the Giants uniform.

Today, that history meets the Bay at Oracle Park.

Baseball Meets the Water

Nothing defines this stadium more than McCovey Cove, the water beyond the right-field wall named for Hall of Famer Willie McCovey.

During games, fans gather in kayaks beyond the wall hoping to retrieve a home run—a tradition unlike anything else in baseball. A homer reaching the Cove on the fly becomes one of baseball's coolest accomplishments:

A Splash Hit.

Then there's Triples Alley, the enormous right-center-field gap originally designed as a tribute to the Giants' old home at New York's Polo Grounds.

That's Baseball Culture—one ballpark connecting different generations and two coasts of Giants baseball.

The Coca-Cola Slide

For kids, one of Oracle Park's can't-miss attractions sits beyond left field.

An enormous 80-foot Coca-Cola bottle contains slides that let kids literally “slide into home.” Next to it sits a gigantic old-fashioned baseball glove—another feature that makes this stadium immediately recognizable.

And then there's the food.

Oracle Park is famous for its Crazy Crab'z sandwich—Dungeness crab piled onto buttery grilled sourdough.

Add the legendary Gilroy Garlic Fries, and you've got ballpark food that actually tastes like the city you're visiting.

Outside the stadium, a statue of Willie Mays welcomes fans at Willie Mays Plaza, while statues and tributes to other Giants legends surround the ballpark.

Oracle Park opened in 2000, but it was intentionally designed with the character of baseball's classic parks—while incorporating San Francisco itself into the experience.

That's what makes it special.

The boats waiting for home runs.

The crab sandwiches.

The Coca-Cola slide.

The Giants history.

The Bay beyond right field.

Every stadium has seats, a scoreboard and a baseball diamond.

The great ones have a personality.

Oracle Park has San Francisco.

And that's exactly what our EARNED MLB Stadium Tour is about—discovering the places, traditions, foods, history and little details that make baseball different everywhere you go.

It's Baseball Culture.
