You're going to a great stadium and matchup although Dodgers vs. Giants can get rough in the crowds. One word of advice: do NOT wear any Dodgers gear to AT&T Park or you may get mercilessly harassed by Giants fans.

Any other suggestions to make the visit more memorable would be appreciated, i have the tickets and a parking permit as i guess parking and traffic around the stadium would be grim

The only onfo i have picked up is that the Garlic fries are a must have

Thanks in advance

Following up on this thread. What did you think of the stadium? It is for sure in my top 3 of current places to watch a game.

If it's your first game you are obligated to take off your clothes and run on the field. You will win money.

Not sure what your travel schedule is like, but if you can make it down to Petco, I enjoyed it more than I had initially thought.

Unlike Euro soccer the fans of both teams are comingled through out the stadium so there's no Dodger side or Giants side. People do take it too far though so best to just be decent. Even though I am from SoCal Dodgers suck cheer for the Giants.

Bring money. Sporting events are expensive. Here in NY, a seat near the field will probably cost you more than your rent/mortgage. Tickets range from$1,250-400.00. Total ripoff. Concession stands are another ripoff. Beer can cost anywhere from $15.00- $11.00 a bottle. Advice, eat and drink before the game. I'm a diehard Yankee fan, and I eat before the game, and bring my own plastic bottle of water into the stadium. My seats cost me $20.00 in the bleacher section of the stadium. I have season tickets. Good luck, and enjoy your experience.
