Looking for a team to cheer on during your stay in San Francisco? Take your pick between football, basketball, hockey...
Let’s start with the San Francisco Giants, the professional baseball team in San Francisco, CA. The Giants play at AT&T Park, which was chosen as the 2008 Sports Facility of the Year by Sports Business Journal and Sports Business Daily. The park itself has many incredible features like the Coca-Cola Fan Lot, a family attraction that celebrates Giants baseball. Run the bases, play the game and enjoy the timeless icons of baseball. Or, visit the Giants Wall of Fame, a gigantic wall that recognizes retired players whose records stand highest among their teammates on the basis of longevity and achievements. Last season was the one many Giants fans had awaited literally all their lives. Not only did the Giants capture the National League West, clinching the division on the season's final day to finish 92-70, but they also went 11-4 in the postseason against Atlanta, Philadelphia and Texas en route to winning the World Series. It was the franchise's first triumph in the Fall Classic since 1954 and, obviously, the first since the Giants moved to San Francisco in 1958. Stop by the ballpark this year to see how the rest of the 2011 Season pans out!
If you are traveling in the fall and want to see a great football game, then get your tickets to see the San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park! The team is the oldest major professional sports team in California, as well as the first. The 49ers are also the only team to win more than one Super Bowl without losing any.
There are lots of fun things to do at Candlestick Park. To you like to tailgate? Then try the 49ers Tailgate Party delivered by FedEx. This party features all you can eat food and beverage, a live DJ and autograph opportunities from 49ers Alumni and Gold Rush. Maybe you want to enjoy a drink before the game? Then the Bud Light GOLDMINE is for you! This bar features early NFL action on TVs, a live DJ, 49ers Alumni, Gold Rush performances, food and beverage and 49ers Merchandise.

For those sport fans that are willing to travel a bit outside the San Francisco area, hockey and basketball games are right around the corner. The San Jose Sharks play professional hockey about 2 hours away in San Jose, CA, and the Sacramento Kings, the professional basketball team, play a mere 3 hours away. Both options make perfect night and weekend get-away-trips. If you go see the Sharks, you’re in for a treat. The Sharks play at the HP Pavilion, better known as “The Shark Tank!” Any time the Sharks go on the power play, the Jaws theme song is played while the fans do "The Chomp," extending their arms in front and moving them up and down to form a chomping jaw. It’s a fun tradition that’s not to be missed!
The Sacramento Kings play at the Power Balance Pavilion and can trace their origins to a local semi-professional team based in Rochester, New York in the early 1920s, making them one of the oldest basketball clubs still in existence. This stadium is action packed and has a great restaurant called the Skyline Restaurant. The Skyline Restaurant’s menu changes for each game, so you'll want to visit often during the season to experience a wonderful menu with dishes that are made with only the freshest of ingredients.
Maybe you can’t score tickets to the big game, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it out and about in the city of San Francisco! If watching sports is your thing, then you’ll defiantly want to check out Kezar Pub, with 24 beers on tap and more than 50 others in bottles, it has become a destination bar for sports fans around the country! They show every NFL, NBA, and NHL game throughout the season! They also have Premier (Setanta) Sports, Gaelic Games, Rugby Internationals, Soccer Internationals, Golf Channel, WWE, UFC, PPV Boxing, and UEFA Network. No matter what you are in the mood to watch, Kezar Pub is showing it!
So come cheer on your favorite team in San Francisco, CA. You won’t be sorry you did!
