Giants hosting home opener at Oracle Park Friday
(BCN) — Baseball fans will be out in force Friday for the San Francisco Giants’ home opener, a 1:35 p.m. game at Oracle Park against the San Diego Padres. Inside the stadium, the Giants are introducing some new sculptures, including a 7-foot-tall SF Giants logo that will be in the lower center field area outside of the ballpark’s garden during the opening homestand for fans to take pictures alongside it.

Outside of Oracle Park, a soft opening is being hosted at China Basin Park, a 5-acre waterfront park across McCovey Cove from the ballpark that is part of the planned Mission Rock neighborhood.
Gates open at 10:35 a.m. for Friday’s game, the first of three between the Giants and Padres this weekend. On Saturday, the first 15,000 fans at the ballpark will receive a bobblehead of Camilo Doval, the Giants’ closer, while on Sunday the first 7,500 children ages 14 and under will receive a Giants sliding glove and all children will be able to run the bases after the game.
San Francisco is off to a slow start so far in the 2024 season with a 2-5 record.
