AT&T Park
San Francisco, CA

AT&T Park, home of the annual Emerald Bowl, was built primarily for baseball and is the home of the San Francisco Giants. AT&T Park and Bank One Ballpark in Phoenix are the only baseball only stadiums that host college football bowl games. For many years, the Giants tried to get a new stadium. After years of threatening to move the San Francisco Giants to a new city; a local ownership group decided to purchase the Giants in 1993, in order to keep the team in San Francisco. The Giants needed a new ballpark because of the bad conditions at Candlestick Park. In 1995, the Giants announced plans to build the first privately financed ballpark since Dodger Stadium. The new ballpark would be located in downtown San Francisco, in the China Basin area. Construction of the steel, concrete, and brick ballpark began on December 11, 1997. Naming rights were sold to Pacific Bell for $50 million over 24 years, thus the ballpark was named Pacific Bell Park. After the 2003 season, Pacific Bell Park was renamed SBC Park after SBC Communications Inc. acquisition of Pacific Bell. It has since been renamed AT&T Park.

On April 11, 2000, the Giants played their first regular season baseball game at AT&T Park. The main three tier grandstand consist of 40,800 green seats that extend from behind homeplate to both the foul poles. Bleaches are located behind the left field fence. There are no seats behind the right field wall because of McCovey Cove, part of the San Francisco Bay. However, there is enough room where fans can walk behind the right field wall and can see through the screened and brick right field fence.   The main scoreboard is located behind the centerfield fence. For football, AT&T Park has a seating capacity of 37,000. The football field is laid out over the infield and what would be left field for baseball. Both teams share the same sideline. The Emerald Bowl features teams from the Big East and Mountain West Conferences.
