One really neat thing about the Giants home stadium is that they have this FREE public viewing area at turf level right behind the right field outfield fence. There's a limit of about 300 people allowed in that area, and its standing room only, but you can practically see the whole game from there! The Dodgers were visiting that night (they hate LA up there as much as Calgarians hate Edmonton) so people were really into it and on top of that Bonds was vying to tie Ruth's record. Really awesome stuff, that has to be a very unique feature.
SF overall is a very cool city - perfect weather too .. not too hot, not too cold, and doesn't rain as much as Seattle or Vancouver!

Yeah, I should add... the weather was very nice. Kinda like Halifax minus the constant rain!
