San Francisco's AT&T Park
AT&T Park, which opened in 2000, evokes the classic ballparks of the early 1900s with throwback features like a red brick facade. The ballpark is known for its proximity to the McCovey Cove section of the San Francisco Bay, which has swallowed many a home run over the years.
