I have been to that stadium many times. I used to see Willie McCovey almost every time in the back walkway area behind the Field Club seats. He was always smiling, and he was always willing to speak with any fan who greeted him. Very kind man. RIP Willie.
I'm watching on the 15th which is my 67th birthday. Watched the Giants play at that park at least 10 times. My husbands ashes were thrown in the water there at McCovey Cove. We honored his wishes. Rest in peace, Jeff. Husband, father son, uncle and friend to many.
I'll always remember this park from the early 2000s when Barry Bonds was hitting home runs into the water. Was always entertaining to see the kayakers paddling after the ball.
My father was born in 1927 in San Francisco. He said when he was a teenager him and others would use bar soap and coat the cable tracks on the hills and the soap would get on the wheels causing the brakes not to work well. The cable cars would pick up speed and they would would laugh real hard listening to the women screaming when it went around the corner at the bottom. 😂
That only works in a couple of places though. For the most part the cable cars are gripping the driver cable under the tracks. But there are a few places where the cable cars just coast. So you gotta be a local to know where the places are where the cable cars aren't tethered to that cable for this trick to work 😁
The weather was refreshing I bet! Near my home town. SF remains special in my heart. Great stadium, been there many times. So glad you made a trip to the Bay Area. Have fun & happy trails!
The tail end of September and October is the summer months for San Francisco. It can be miserable sometimes because most buildings don't have air-conditioning because they don't need it. I do miss candle stick but the new stadium is beautiful. Thanks again.
People sometimes ask how do the seagulls know to swoop in near the end of the game to eat up the food left in the seating area and the answer is that they listen to the game on the radio.
Adam....I was cringing listening to that tour guide talk about the Joe Panik play in the 2014 World Series. First of all, it happened in Game 7 in Kansas City (she said Game 5, which was actually played in SF) Joe Panik was the second baseman and he dove and flipped the ball from his glove to Brandon Crawford, the shortstop. The play was initially called safe but on review was overturned to a double play. It was such a huge play in that close game and one of the highlights of our 3 WS titles. I can't believe a tour guide would get that so wrong. So I guess the lesson is, can't always take tour guides for their word.
I'm not sure if most of the tour ended up on the editing room floor but that was an underwhelming stadium tour. And the guide didn't sound very sure of what she was saying. I could barely understand her too.
I grew up going to candlestick and never got the chance to go to oracle park. I remember they wanted a new stadium in the late 80s because candlestick was too cold. Tropicana field was actually built to lure the giants away from San Fran and candlestick. Looks like the giants got their act together and built one of the nicest stadiums in baseball. For my money PNC and Camden yards are pretty nice too. Thanks for the tour. Rays up!
if you guys are headed down the coast be sure to check out the Monterey Bay Aquarium and maybe Hearst Castle if youre going all the way down the 1, have fun and I hope you get to see some of California central coast
Hate my giants lost but super excited you got to finally check out the stadium. Not to be bias, but definitely one of the most beautiful stadiums in the MLB. Have a good day!
I lived in San Leandro when I was growing up! We use to go to SF as teenagers and we had so much fun! Things have changed there now! It was nice to see you there it’s memories for me! Thank you Adam for the video it was fun
I also grew up in San Leandro. Went to SL high school. Used to cut school and take the bus to the city. It cost 25 cents back then. Watched the Giants play at Candlestick and Oracle. Fun times. Thanks for the memories Adam.
I went to San Francisco for the 1st time less than a month ago and did more than half the stuff you did in this video. Feels like you’re retracing my steps lol
Wow, Adam, we were also at the game last night (infield view level, way up in the nosebleeds) - so very frustrating as a Giants fan - but I had a good feeling you’d be there. Was looking forward to seeing your awesome team in person. Sad loss for us, but tonight was waaay better! How about our boy Meckler? Nice young man, hope for all the best. So many minor-leaguers getting called up lately, fascinating. Baseball is definitely a bit different these days. Thx SO much for the stadium tour! Honestly never thought of that, great surprise gift for my husband, he’ll love it. Just gotta say, go baseball! I hope the new rules & whatever comes of that helps the game continue on forever. Solidarity ⚾️
Back in 1987 went to a punk rock show at a place called The Farm. It was a old barn as I remember. There in San Francisco, I also went to many Metal and Goth clubs. Lots of memories.
Bay Area native I've been to that park lots of times. We'd call it Pac Bell Park. The Barry Bonds home run race and the World Series championships in the '10s was a magical time. Haven't been to a game in a few years. They used to sell out every game for years. Prices just got out of control and the team declined. But after watching your video, it makes me want to go to a game again! haha P.S. get the garlic fries 🍟
Yeah the Giants use to have the number one attendance in the league for a lot of years. But the city and management changed the prices which were ridiculous and the team started to go down hill. I think the Braves now have the highest Attendance in the National League next to the Cubs.
Dugout club seats. Fancy. There is so much to see at the park. Hopefully you got to check out the AAA Club level as well. That is my favorite place to watch the game. Go Giants !!
So awesome your showing the Oracle stadium! Just was at a game last week! I’ve never been on a tour there. Its such an awesome ballpark! Not as cool as candlestick😜 bc that was my childhood but oracle is a close second🧡🖤
Adam, thank you soooo much for saying 3 to nothing, 4 to nothing etc..., instead of 3 to zero, much appreciated. love you for all you do. My day wouldn't be complete without you!
Great video! My husband and I are going to San Francisco next week for our anniversary and will be going to a game. Now that I know about the stadium tours we will try to catch one.
looks like your stay is off to a great start, i haven't seen something i already have or remember seeing before...bring on that sweet new never seen before footage!!
My late wife grew up in the Bay Area, and spoke of the times she went to Candlestick Park. I drove past the new park but have never been to any of them. Thanks for the video! Interesting to see the tours of some of these places. Oh by the way first time I've ever heard of pickles in chili! Always something new I guess!
I used to live on Beale street almost directly underneath the bay bridge - I loved it there, I would wake up in the morning, look out the window and see the bay bridge, the fog, the embarcadero, there was no other place like it! I would walk up to Folsom street to catch the MUNI...I miss those days...This was 30 years ago way before they built oracle park, if I still lived there it would be just a short walk to the ballpark to watch a game.
IMO San Francisco is America's most beautiful city. Thanks for showing the beauty and not what the media and most you tubers dwell on. That huge building at union square is St Francis Hotel. Famous for when Fatty Arbuckle stayed and was falsley accused of sexual misconduct by the muckraker William Randolph Hearst.
Yay! You are in the Bay Area! Definitely recommend a few places in town. Musée Mécanique which has old coin operated games. Tonga Room is a really cool Tiki bar and Restaurant…pretty sure Anthony Bordain visited that place as well. The band plays music on a boat in the middle of the restaurant….and the Tiki ambience is pretty cool! Also Lands End area has a lot of history about the Sutro Baths and the Cliff House that used to be a vacation destination back in the day. Lots of cool places in Northern California! Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk also has a lot of old vintage spots as well (Old carousel, Laughing Sal from an old themed area that was in SF, an old swimming pool that is now Put Put golf) that you should check out at some point. Enjoy the Bay Area!
All great. Tonga Room feels like a blast from the past. Feels like the 50's or something. That hotel it's in is seriously beautiful as well. The Palace is a cool hotel as well. Where they filmed The Game.
Aww come on Giants! 😂 seriously though I spent many years working in downtown Sf. I work in Palo Alto now. Closer commute. Sometimes I miss exploring the city!
Dang I missed you. I flew out to SF from DFW on Sunday also. Went to the Tuesday night game though. Unfortunately the Rays did not fair so well that night.
just saw he visited and posted video from it: "The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco - Detailed Tour and Walk Thru / Inside Disney History" ua-cam.com/video/Qa4kBgD_V5o/v-deo.html
@@adriannec4188 yes... i would like him to do a new one too. he will have to do it in a different style .. more stealth this time.. no narration and more like he is taking pictures if he can share it with us in a video form
Fun useless fact, the fictional saleswoman from Halloween III Season of the Witch that was right next door to Tom Atkins and his special lady friend in that Santa Mira motel had a " shop in Union Square in San Francisco, you can't miss it." 🙃
I'm going to visit family in California next week. I was hoping to catch a Giants game while I was in the area. Unfortunately I won't have time. I envy the freedom that you have. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
I see you opened at the corner of Geary and Powell. Looked familiar, I stayed at the Handlery on Geary back in 2008 for a tech convention at the Moscone Center. Man I have a story about that trip!

The food looked great!! That bread looked fantastic!!!! Super California day!!! The weather is nice in North Mississippi today after a very stormy night!!!! We have weather like they have in Florida. HOT in summer!! Our winter is a lot colder and snowy than Florida, but the summer has been miserable with lots of rain and bad storms!!!!!

Thank you for taking us to the Bay Area. This was my childhood home ... 53 years ago. But I still root for the Giants :} my hometown team.

don't be racist
What? @@dr.mantistoboggan4746
I think Oracle Park is one of the most beautiful ballparks around.
I love seeing all these stadiums. I also love what a respectful fan you are - on your home turf and away. 😊
Oh look it’s Natalie with her Florida guy

I've only seen a few ball games at the park but I did take my family here to see Sir Paul McCartney and it was Fantastic!!
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Enjoyed viewing👀 the buses/cable & trolley cars. Reds java☕ house lunch menu looks👀 decent.

I’ve lived near the City by the Bay for 36 years and never get tired of it! Indeed, “ I’ve left my heart in San Francisco!”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! And many Moore. 🎉🍭🧁
Oh, every morsel of food from Red's Java House looks great! I'm hungry. :)
A burger with cheddar cheese, avocado and served on sourdough bread might just be the single most San Francisco meal ever.
If it was a soy burger I would concur
And it can be yours for just 29.99 😆
Yes and chase it with a,Ghiradelli chocolate square
Cioppino with lots of shrimp, clams, mussels and Dungeness crab is the best S.F. Treat !
I saw Willie Mays play in center field when i was a kid
That’s pretty dang cool
Hate my giants lost but super excited you got to finally check out the stadium. Not to be bias, but definitely one of the most beautiful stadiums in the MLB. Have a good day!
Best 2024 vacation spot in the U.S. for sure!😊
but did you film any fentanyl zombies?
I lived in San Leandro when I was growing up! We use to go to SF as teenagers and we had so much fun! Things have changed there now! It was nice to see you there it’s memories for me! Thank you Adam for the video it was fun

$50 parking a half mile away for a 3 hour game? That;s crazy! Thanks for showing the stadium tour!
Parking cost 90 in a garage their now, demand with the car break ins

@@goodvibes4459 The city has nothing to do with the ticket prices. That's the team.
it's all about the Garlic Fries...lots of them! Always love those!
Was it really 2021 when you guys last visited San Francisco? I remember that video. Wow, how time flies. 🤙🏼
I know. Doesn't seem that long ago. Means we're getting old, cause time flies when you're old.
Dugout club seats. Fancy. There is so much to see at the park. Hopefully you got to check out the AAA Club level as well. That is my favorite place to watch the game. Go Giants !!
So awesome your showing the Oracle stadium! Just was at a game last week! I’ve never been on a tour there. Its such an awesome ballpark! Not as cool as candlestick😜 bc that was my childhood but oracle is a close second🧡🖤
I knew she was going to be up in SFO with you. Gotta scratch that itch :) Maybe see you at DragonCon - I'm sure you're going. :)
Great video as always, great to see another Australian baseball player making his debut⚾️
The bow and arrow is called Cupid's Span. It was commissioned by the Fisher family (Gap) for the rejuvenation of the Embarcadero.
Proposed to my wife there.
Grew up in the East Bay, went into SF for many a field trip and even lived there for 3 months during college.
It’s a great stadium - the old one at candlestick had the worst weather and was often freezing even in the middle of July
Adam, thank you soooo much for saying 3 to nothing, 4 to nothing etc..., instead of 3 to zero, much appreciated. love you for all you do. My day wouldn't be complete without you!
Oracle Park is an incredible ballpark. Glad you were able to make the trip to catch a game
Yay Miss Daphne !!!
Is it Natilie or Daphne
Very cool 😎 SF ❤❤❤
Great to see the city! Santa Cruz here!

You should go to bodega bay to the school building and church and locations used on the birds movie. Only about a 2 hour drive from SF
What a great city. Go Giants!

San Fran got a lot of their trolley cars from Philly. I remember riding on them in the 70's. The city hated them because they blocked traffic.

Red's Java Hut used to roast their own coffee and sold it by the pound.
Aww come on Giants! 😂 seriously though I spent many years working in downtown Sf. I work in Palo Alto now. Closer commute. Sometimes I miss exploring the city!
Giants will always be of my NL team because of the NY Giants and their awesome history
Nothing better than seeing a baseball game outside of the stadium lol
greatest place!!!!Grew up in Marin, San Rafael.....you should take a drive up Lucas Valley rd...Skywalker Ranch.
Also for transportation - worth a visit to both the street car museum and the cable car museum!
One crazy day I went on a walking tour that started at one and ended up (and I mean UP) at the other. Whew.

I've always wondered if you'd do a Peoples Temple(Jonestown) vlog when in San Francisco. You've done many vlogs of The Manson Family(great ones too)
If you haven’t planned it already, be sure to check out the Walt Disney Family Museum in the Presidio.

See those trophies buddy? 😅.. go giants
I see you opened at the corner of Geary and Powell. Looked familiar, I stayed at the Handlery on Geary back in 2008 for a tech convention at the Moscone Center. Man I have a story about that trip!

My next trip to the USA has to be SF 🎉
The food looked great!! That bread looked fantastic!!!! Super California day!!! The weather is nice in North Mississippi today after a very stormy night!!!! We have weather like they have in Florida. HOT in summer!! Our winter is a lot colder and snowy than Florida, but the summer has been miserable with lots of rain and bad storms!!!!!
Did you go there cause of it was one of Anthony Bourdain's hangouts?
I would love it if you shared the prices for food and stuff. Am I the only one?
