In 2000, after forty years at Candlestick Park, the Giants bid a bittersweet farewell to their old home and privately financed a downtown stadium, a long-advocated move.
AT & T Park ( originally Pacific Bell Park and later SBC Park ) sits on the shores of China Basin ( often referred to as McCovey Cove by Giants fans ) at the corner of 3rd and King Streets ( with an official address of 24 Willie Mays Plaza to honor the long-time Giant ).
Regardless of anything that might happen on the field of play, this move represented an entirely new era for the Giants and their fans.
Whereas the team used to occupy a stadium that was a throwback to the era of suburban, multi-purpose, concrete " cookie-cutter " stadiums that so many teams moved to during the 1960s and 1970s, their new home is regarded as one of the better venues in all of professional sports.
Even so, as part of the intense rivalry with the Los Angeles Dodgers, some Dodger fans derisively refer to AT & T Park as " The Phone Booth ," owing to its current and former names ( Pac Bell Park, SBC Park ).
