Oracle Park

Groundbreaking was December 11, 1997 and the architect was HOK Sport, now known as Populous. The stadium cost $357 million to build, about $667 million in 2025 dollars, and was the first Major League Baseball ballpark built without public funds since the completion of Dodger Stadium in 1962 — though the Giants received a $10 million tax abatement and $80 million for upgrades to local infrastructure. Pacific Bell purchased the naming rights for the planned ballpark on April 3, 1996, for $50 million over 24 years, giving Pacific Bell Park from 2000 to 2003; it became SBC Park on January 1, 2004 after SBC acquired Pacific Bell's parent company, took its third name in six years as AT&T Park in 2006, and became Oracle Park on January 10, 2019. It hosted the 2007 Major League Baseball All-Star Game and received LEED Silver Certification in April 2010. Barry Bonds hit his record-breaking 756th career home run here on August 7, 2007, passing Hank Aaron's career record, and Jonathan Sanchez pitched the park's first no-hitter on July 10, 2009. The right-field wall is 24 feet high, honoring Willie Mays, and the right-field foul pole is 309 feet from home plate; the Willie Mays statue stands in front of the entrance at 24 Willie Mays Plaza, surrounded by 24 palm trees for his uniform number. Other statues are a Willie McCovey, dedicated in 2003 at McCovey Point; a Juan Marichal, dedicated in 2005 at the Lefty O'Doul Gate entrance; an Orlando Cepeda at the corner of 2nd Street and King Street; and a Gaylord Perry, dedicated August 13, 2016. The bay beyond the right-field wall is unofficially known as McCovey Cove, after the Giants first baseman Willie McCovey; as of August 16, 2026, 110 splash hits had been knocked into the Cove by Giants players since the park opened, 35 of them by Barry Bonds.
