Other Sporting Venues #7 : Candlestick Park

Since I was in San Francisco, I thought it'd be nice to hit up Candlestick Park before they demolished it, which turned out to be my 4th venue of the trip.  It was a pretty cool stadium to check out but then I remembered I'm a Seahawks fan so...

Food Stop #21 : San Francisco #3

I try not to post restaurant chains but I have to make an exception for In N' Out.  One reason is because it's generally in the west coast, so being from Toronto means I'll rarely ever eat here.  Another reason is because it's just so damn good.

MLB Ballpark #10/30 : San Francisco

One of the main reasons why I visited San Francisco was to see a Giants game.  Thanks to my uncle scoring us some box seats, this was going to be a different experience compared to any other game I've been to.

AT&T Park - San Francisco, California

Visited - April 2014

Impression: My impression of this stadium will be slightly skewed by the fact I had box seats, but it still doesn't make this ballpark any less awesome.  One of the biggest advantages to the box seats were that they were behind glass which helped because the ballpark is by the bay, and it fluctuates between windy or hot very frequently so being "indoors" helped keep me comfortable.  There was a lot to do around the stadium, a bunch of different things to eat such as garlic fries and dungeness crab sandwiches, and a wide variety of beer.  It was cool seeing some of its unique aspects up close such as the giant glove in left field, the kayakers behind right field in the bay looking for home run balls, and the huge Coca-Cola bottle.  Also, being in the box level gives you access to a history room that holds a lot of memorabilia from past Giants players and their World Series trophies which they seem to win every other year.  It's one of the better stadiums to visit. 

Food Stop #20 : San Francisco #2

Since I like to go to each cities main restaurants for signature dishes, this time around I headed to Boudin Bakery as San Francisco is known for their Sour Dough Bread.  I ordered a bottle of Fat Tire beer and clam chowder in a giant sour dough bread bowl which turned out to be a pretty hearty meal.

Food Stop #19 : San Francisco #1

The first place I ate at in the Bay Area was this small bar called The Boardroom where they served Bacon-Wrapped Tater Tots.  Never had anything like it before but they were great.
