Mixing Business with Baseball in San Francisco
The summer months mean one thing to sports lovers: baseball. If you’re tired of the same old wine and dine you’ve been scheduling for your clients, maybe it’s time to consider a day of Giants baseball for your favorite customers. You can put together a day to remember while also getting the job done. If you’re not sure how to go about making sure your clients get the best possible experience, take some time to think about what would constitute your perfect Giants experience. Whatever that may be, start scheduling that for your biggest clients. We’ve got some great ideas so you can get started.
The Park
AT&T Park has some pretty amazing views, and you can take advantage of them with box seats. You can enjoy quite a few perks with your box seats, including food and beverages you may not get elsewhere in the park. Of course, not everyone wants to be so far removed from the action. Be sure you know what your client would like before you make your reservations. If they’re more of a cheap-seat type, they may prefer something among all the revelry and action going on with the other fans.
Wherever you decide to sit, you should get to the park early enough to enjoy some of the other attractions. For true Giants fans, the Wall of Fame is a must. This is where you can discover some of the record holders from Giants history, as well as all the retired players. The Fan Lot is another spot where clients and families alike can enjoy the fun of Giants baseball. Run the bases at the minipark or check out the views of the bay or downtown San Francisco. You can even wander China Basin Park before the first pitch.
The Traffic
As you might imagine, the traffic on game day can get a little hairy. San Francisco has a special traffic pattern all its own anyway, with one-way streets wherever you turn. If you’re determined to get your clients to the game safely and without a lot of stress, you’ll need to plan several hours for travel time, even if you’re already located downtown. The streets near the stadium will start to clog hours before the game. Remember, too, that parking will come at a premium. No matter how far away you park from the stadium, you can expect to part with $20 or more for your parking space.
To avoid parking and traffic issues, you can always reserve car service. Your clients will love the luxury, and you won’t need to concentrate on the road instead of giving your sales pitch. As a bonus, your Chauffeur can drop you at the door before the game and pick you up in the same place. There is zero stress or time wasted when you book San Francisco sedan service.
The Celebration
After the game, you’ll certainly want to stop by a bar or pub for a beer or two. Whether winners or losers, a drink is always welcome. We’ve got a list of some of the best bars close to AT&T Park. If you reserve car service, you can celebrate or commiserate to your heart’s content.
This pub has a modern and elegant feel that won’t unravel any of the work you’ve done to present your company in a great light. The exposed brick and clean lines will put you right at ease, and the unusual menu items will give great food options that your clients will love.
Located right across the street from AT&T Park, MoMo’s is the perfect choice for after-game libations. If you’re hungry, there’s a full menu that includes options from burgers to steaks. The cocktails, however, are what the place is known for.
For a Latin twist on your celebration drinks, Tres serves up some incredible margaritas. The restaurant and bar is located close enough to AT&T Park that you could walk after the game and have your Chauffeur pick you up when you’re ready to go.
With these plans in place, you could enjoy the perfect Giants’ day out with your clients. Chances are, you’ll have so much fun that you’ll start planning game days for all your clients, and they’ll have so much fun they come back for more. It’s a win-win, whatever happens on the diamond.
