AT&T Park
24 Willie Mays Plaza, San Francisco, CA (415) 972-2000 The AT&T Park is a really nice, modern ball-park – it's large enough to accommodate huge events, but not so huge that you're drowning in the crowd. Every seat has a good view, and easy access to the bathrooms, food stands, and other amenities. There's also a great view over the Bay, awesome for friends coming into town. Just be sure to bring protection from the sun or rain, depending on the weather, as many of the seats aren't sheltered. You can even watch part of the game for free from a nearby bar where windows overlook the field (you'll have to buy a drink of course). San Francisco 49ers 6.5 miles
