3. The Gotham Club (sight)

This uber exclusive VIP club is located inside the right field wall and is the resting ground for die-hard Giants fans who wish to mix the high-class ambiance of sophisticated dining with modern American baseball.

The history behind The Gotham Club dates back to New York in 1883. John B. Daly and Jim Mutrie established the New York Gothams Baseball Club, later to be known as the New York Giants.

The Club became a pregame hotspot for members-only. What lies behind the right-field scoreboard is only available to club members with one exception according to the Gotham Club’s information page, “If you have ever played for the New York Gothams, New York Giants, or San Francisco Giants, you are a member.”

4. Renel Brooks-Moon behind the microphone (sound)


Renel Brooks-Moon is a Bay Area icon and will go down in baseball history as a pioneer for women in male-dominated sports.

Brooks-Moon has been the Giant’s Public Address Announcer since the park made it’s initial move to China Basin in 2000.

She has been a part of the Park’s inaugural Opening Day, Barry Bonds’ batting and home run records, and the Giants league and division championship.

Besides being the best female announcer to date, she inked her name in the history books in 2002, becoming the the first woman to announce a professional sports world championship.

5. Ghirardelli Sundae (savory sight)


Some people believe ice cream is a treat that can only be enjoyed on a warm summer day. Giants fans defy this logic during weekly night games at AT&T Park.

The Ghirardelli Sundae is a San Francisco classic treat. After you set your eyes on the hot fudge melting over a helping scoop of vanilla, it’s hard to restrain yourself from asking for extra whipped cream and a cherry on top.

There is no doubt that this sweet treat was intended for sharing, but there is a strong chance you’ll end up finishing one with no help at all.
