Pac Bell aka AT&T Park is one of the most awesome ballparks on the face of the planet.\r

I follow the A's and the Giants and I like both teams but sorry A's fan about your post. The Coliseum is dreadfully outdated and if you think the Giants ballpark is in a bad neighborhood I have feared for my life being in the area around the A's park; it's total g-etto. The A's do deserve better.\r

But this is suppose to be about Pac Bell (I hate the ""new"" AT&T). This is the greatest of the new modern era ballparks with nearly no bad seats in the house. Awesome food, spectacular scenery of the Bay, an incredible array of delicious food, just about any kind of beer or drink on earth is available; by far way vast improvement over the 'Stick. I hear they have a new hi def scoreboard this season and last season they replaced all the tube tv's with flat panels so when you go to get those garlic fries which are to die for, you can watch the plays while standing in line.\r

I've been to Wrigley and it is a monument to it's era but when it comes to enjoying the old ballgame in a modern era the Giants ballpark is the place to be 1000% hands down. Just be sure to bring a lot of $$$ to enjoy the food and beer with; it isn't cheap. But it's totally worth it.
Pros: Awesome sightlines, greatest concessions and drink selection ever, location
Cons: Parking - take mass transit you can't park here, food is expensive
