There's more to a ball game than great views, ambiance and gourmet food. Admittedly the Coliseum has none of those things. But after going to numerous Giants games across the SF Bay at Pac Bell, I can't tell you how relaxing and nice it was to go to a game at the Coliseum. Easy parking, no lines at the concession stands, you can walk without having to twist and turn your way through the crowds. Tickets are cheaper too. But the best part is that there are fewer distractions so that you can actually focus on the game. Isn't that the point after all? I took my 5 year old to a few games at Pac Bell and all he wanted to do was watch LouSeal, play in the kids areas, run the bases at the wiffle-ball field. At the Coliseum we actually sit in our seats, eat a few dogs, experience the game and enjoy our time together without all the publicity stunt distractions.
