At SBC Park, the Giants shoot off some sort of steam from three stacks by the right field arcade (overlooking McCovey Cove), and a foghorn goes off. Also, a cable car bell is rung. That's really cool. And we cheer. :-)

PacBell Park is now SBC Park? These corporate names drive me crazy, plus many of them keep changing!

PacBell/SBC Park is probably the #1 ballpark hubby and I would love to see next... it looks beautiful on TV. We've been to Candlestick (can't remember its corporate name) and Oakland/McAfee Coliseum back in the early-to-mid 90s when we used to spend a fair amount of time in the Bay Area. Hubby actually used to work at Oakland Coliseum back in the 70s, although he grew up a SF Giants fan (Willy Mays!).

It'll always be Comiskey Park to me even if they change the name to Free Republic.com Stadium.

(....oy, what am I saying?)

I still call it PacBell Park, rumor is it's going to be AT&T Park next. :-(

It's beautiful. The food's great, the view is great, we generally have pretty good baseball, great fans, kid-friendly but not stupid. Get the garlic fries, but be sure you share, otherwise you'll have a three-foot kill zone around you! Let me know when you guys come out!
