What to expect at SF Giants FanFest
The SF Giants and local radio station KNBR will be hosting the 30th annual FanFest tomorrow at Oracle Park. Fans will get a chance to meet and hear from several of the returning and new members of the 2023 Giants squad.
When to arrive:
Fans are encouraged to arrive at 9:15am to help welcome players to Willie Mays Plaza in a special "Orange Carpet" ceremony. Gates won't officially open until 10am, and the event will go until 3pm. There are no tickets required for entry.
What to bring:
There will be two autograph stations at the view level of the stadium with rotating "Giants VIPs" so fans should be sure to bring items they'd like signed. Keep in mind that no backpacks (not even clear ones!) are allowed in the stadium, and bags must be small and compact.
Who to expect:
Giants fans should expect a majority of the 2023 roster at FanFest. Not only will players be available to sign autographs, but they will rotate through a special selfie station (also at view level) as well. In addition, fans should anticipate that they will hear from several players, as well as members of the front office, during the ongoing event at the KNBR Broadcast Stage.
Why to go:
Waiting in lines for autographs or selfies with the players, or hearing (hopefully!) from the Giants' front office about their very chaotic offseason might not be everyone's thing. If not, FanFest offers a special opportunity to take in the sights and sounds of Oracle Park for free, ahead of what is sure to be an interesting season. Fans are allowed to walk through the dugout, get a clubhouse tour, and even walk through the press box.
The event will go on rain or shine, but whether or not fans make it out to Willie Mays Plaza tomorrow, the stage presentation will be broadcast on KNBR.
