History:
Pacific Bell Park, the first privately financed Major League ballpark to be built in 38 years, is a classic urban ballpark with an old-time feel that was inspired by Wrigley field and Fenway Park. This $319 million park is conveniently located to almost all public transit system servicing the San Francisco Bay area. A waterfront promenade allows free views of the game just beyond the right field fence. Wind conditions will be greatly improved according to wind tunnel research conducted by experts from U.C. Davis. Modern design technology will allow for construction which can effectively block the wind.

Playing Field:
Kentucky Bluegrass Blend with the crushed volcanic rock infield and ribberized tartan-surface warning track.
