Oracle Park SF Giants Guide

Oracle Park is home to the San Francisco Giants and is one of the most iconic ballparks in all of Major League Baseball. Nestled in the SoMA neighborhood of San Francisco, it offers breathtaking views of the Bay Bridge and the marina. 

The stadium was built in 2000 at the original cost of $357 million, making it the first privately funded MLB stadium since 1962 and Dodger Stadium. Beyond its right-field wall stands McCovey Cove, a small bay named after the Giants’ first baseman, which shows the city’s deep connection to its Giants. 

However, backing the local team on a betting slip is not possible. Sports betting in California is not currently legal. With Prop 26 and Prop 27 being voted down on Nov. 8, the earliest launch for California sportsbooks would be 2025 at the earliest — and that’s only if voters pass a sports betting initiative in the 2024 election.

Despite its lack of contention for a sports betting license right now, Oracle Park has a lot more to offer. If you want answers to questions such as where is Oracle Park located and others, you’ve come to the right place. 

About Oracle Park in San Francisco

Oracle Park had its inauguration day on April 11, 2000, two and half years after Giants owner Peter Magowan broke ground on the stadium. As the first privately financed stadium after Dodgers Stadium, Oracle Park was conceived as a perfect substitute for Candlestick Park, the previous home of the Giants. 

Oracle Park’s location on the China Basin in the Bay Area gives its visitors perfect views of the Bay Bridge and the surrounding area. The venue sprawls across a 12.7-acre ground surrounded by King, Second, and Third streets in downtown San Francisco (in the Soma neighborhood). So, where is Oracle Park San Francisco exactly?

Thanks to Muni trains of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), Caltrain, and Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) train system, you can easily reach the stadium from within San Francisco, the Peninsula and South Bay, or East Bay. 

History and Ownership of Oracle Stadium

When Peter Magowan and several other business leaders saved the Giants from moving to Florida in 1992, it was clear that they wanted them to have a perfect home in the Bay Area. To ensure no further relocations of the franchise take place, Megowan knew a brand new stadium would do the job. 

Through private financing, bank loans, funds from naming rights and sponsorships, and brilliant marketing orchestrated by Giants Executive Vice President and COO Larry Bear that resulted in the sales of 29,500 season tickets (including 15,000 charter seats, beating the previous best-selling record three times over), it was clear that the project would be a success. 

Over the years, the stadium changed its name on several occasions. It was first known as Pacific Bell Park until 2004 when SBC Communications acquired Pacific Bell’s parent company and changed the stadium’s name to SBC Park. 

After a merger between SBC Communications and AT&T Corporation in 2005, the naming rights switched to the new corporation, which renamed the stadium AT&T Park. In 2007, AT&T Park hosted an All-Star Game, 23 years after the last game held in San Francisco. 

In 2019, Oracle Corporation and the Giants agreed to a naming deal, so the stadium is now called Oracle Park.
