A killer location right on the waterfront and design to match was the centerpiece of the plan. He broke the ballpark down into as many marketable pieces as possible seat licenses, concessions, signage and naming rights. Thanks to a large corporate base and a red-hot local economy, the plan succeeded. That s not the only unusual aspect of the ballpark. Pacific Bell Park is served by more public transportation than any other ballpark in the country.
Fans can take streetcars, trolley buses, rapid transit, commuter trains and ferries to games.
The Giants estimate that 50 percent of its fans use public transit. This is where my future is, said Peter Osborne, who owns MoMo s, a popular restaurant across from the ballpark. In bars, restaurants, or just walking along the street. Among the ballparks that debuted in the past year, Sports Illustrated rated Pacific Bell Park the best. A unique public promenade has been developed along the waterfront from right to center field where fans can watch the game through a fence at no charge.
