Green Tortoise San Francisco Hostel Blog

      So here in the Bay Area we are home to two of the coolest baseball teams in all the lands.  The Oakland A’s and the San Francisco Giants, now normally you can pick up cheap bleacher tickets for less than $20 (not bad for a few hours of camaraderie while participating in Americas favorite pastime) however there is another way.  That way is $2 Wednesday @ A’s Games!  ‘Tis a magical day where the tickets for the A’s are two dollars and the hot dogs are but a single dollar note, and don’t be skeized by the low price it’s the same dog that you would be paying $5 for but its simply marked down to market value. 

     The last $2 Wednesdays of the season are both in September (the 2nd and the 23rd) so if you’re gonna be at the tortoise be sure and secure those tickets ASAP.

     I know what you’re thinking, how ever do I get to the ballpark, it’s all the way in Oakland.  Well that’s simple, just take the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit).  It’s the underground train that can take you all over Berkeley, Oakland, and the rest of the East Bay.  Just take the Dublin Pleasanton train and get off at the Coliseum/Oakland Airport stop, trust me from there you can fallow the sea of green and yellow A’s fans into the stadium that is just a short walk away.      

     If you cant make it out for those games or you’re just dead set on seeing the SF Giants play than you can find schedule and ticket info at athletics.mlb.com/ for the A’s or www.sfgiants.com/ for the Giants
