Giants ballpark tour: 2023 edition. Tours were suspended during COVID, and only restarted a few weeks ago. They hurry you along, so it's definitely run-and-gun photography. Enjoy.
Tours are at 10:30 and 12:30, 90-minutes long. You enter on the right field side by the Juan Marichal statue.
Visiting teams get off the bus and come down through this corridor.
The only unmarked door in the stadium -- the umpire dressing room
There's a long staircase leading down to the visiting clubhouse. Players would slide down the handrail. For safety reasons the Giants staff asked them to stop. They didn't. So today there are "anti-grinders" installed on the handrail.
In-stadium batting cages where players hit off a tee to warm up.
Groundskeeper room. The forms on the right are used to chalk the batter's boxes.
Hats off to the grounds crew and the drainage system. Because with this winter's never ending storms the field should be under water.
I'm looking more and more like Roger Craig. After a loss.
The tour guide in mid-gesture.
Baseball is an old game; the landlines stay.
Artwork on the interior Club Level.
The MadBum/Posey Lego sculptures have been moved to the upper deck.
No lines at the restrooms!
Mega luxury box.
Major artwork meets major sponsor.
The Gotham Club, a hidden little corner of the stadium for VIP ticket holders.
Apparently some people go to baseball parks to play pool...
...or to bowl.
Lots of memorabilia on display. Here the ballpark's Wall of Fame is explained.
Here's the jersey that injured pitcher Dave Dravecky wore late in 1989, altered by Murph to accomodate the bandage he was wearing.
Charles Schultz, longtime Giants fan.
This photo alone was worth the ticket price.
Go Giants!
