Atmosphere
Oracle Park hosts a decent tailgating culture, mostly for weekend night games. Make sure you bust out your orange and black to fit in with the loyal San Francisco Giants fans that surround the park, inside and out. While it helps that the Giants have three recent World Series rings, fantastic baseball is not the only reason fans come to Oracle Park. Fans come out in droves to celebrate game day, and the air is filled with excitement long before the park is open.
The streets surrounding the home plate entrance to the stadium bring the best bar and restaurant scene for you to take in some of the earlier MLB action while waiting for the park to open. This area is where you’ll find the most fans, and is located next to Pier 48 if you’re looking for a family friendly tailgate area.
Whether you head to Pier 48 or hit the bars near Oracle Park, you’ll have an excellent time tailgating before a Giants game.
Make sure to be early to find the perfect parking spot.
