Diamondbacks vs. Giants
Giants Lose 3-5
This park has moved to the top of my list of the parks we have visited. First impressions are just how nice it looks. McCovey Cove, statues and brick make the area very attractive. Inside it's very open with lots of field level seating. The huge widescreen scoreboard makes any other scoreboard look like it is from the stone age. A nice feature is the "Express" restroom with a long line of facilities to alleviate waiting. As of the writing of this post, this is the #1 stadium on our quest.
The game was set up to be a phenomenal pitcher's duel. The Giants' Tim Lincecum faced of against Brandon Webb of Arizona. That said, pitching can only get you so far when the other eight Giant fielders like to boot the ball around. Even though their team was having an awful season, there were many fans in attendance. Most of them were paying attention to the game as well.
Note: Another quirk to our quest. This day we attended games in both Oakland and San Francisco. We made use of the BART to get from one game to the next. It was a great experience overall. Surprisingly, we weren't the only ones on the train to go to both games on the same day.
