The average fan has seen America’s Pastime become more and more expensive with each passing season. It’s become virtually impossible for a family of four to attend a game and also expect to afford the cost of parking and concessions, on top of the annual ticket price. Well, if you’re a San Francisco Giants fan, you received relatively good news on Friday.
Giants CEO Larry Baer announced on KNBR that there would be new, lower beer prices at Oracle Park for the 2023 season. Fans will be able to buy a 14-ounce domestic draft for $9.
