The short version

Make a little room around the game.

  • McCovey Cove: the only body of water in MLB where home runs land in the bay and are retrieved by kayakers — the 'Splash Hit' counter tracks them all.
  • Start with these 6 food notes rather than a generic concession list.
  • Use the arrival options below as a starting point, then check the club and operator on game day.
