After apparently moving on from that whole Tempeh District thing, PETA has named AT&T Park the most vegetarian and vegan-friendly major league ballpark in the country. In a schlocky blog post, the activist group says, "the only thing sweeter than a World Series championship is knowing that no animals had to suffer for a tasty ballpark meal," citing the range of meatless concession items as reason for the ballpark's success. Now, shush - no one tell them about that Seal sweatshop operating in the kid's area. [via KTVU]

San Francisco Giants team officials announced Friday that the long journey to win the World Series will be commemorated by a World Champions Walk. "The 2010 World Series title was the culmination of more than five decades of memorable moments, historic games and hundreds of legendary players who have worn the San Francisco Giants uniform," Giants president Larry Baer said in a statement. The walkway will encircle all four plazas of AT&T Park. The walk will also include brick pavers that fans can purchase to mark their own memories of the team's history. The brick pavers will be sold for $225 to $475, depending on the location, team officials said.

When is the stadium going to be completed?

JoshuaSantos · June 10th, 2011, 06:33 PM

Doh, it's saying the photos are unavailable.

612bv3 · June 10th, 2011, 06:41 PM

Hope it works now.

krudmonk · June 10th, 2011, 07:20 PM

They've said it will be done no later than 2013. Not sure what time of year, though. Other projects in MLS have been completed fairly quickly, so that's not unreasonable.

JoshuaSantos · June 11th, 2011, 12:44 AM

I'm hoping they will figure out a good way to connect with public transit. Perhaps downtown shuttles?

Lordpenguinton · June 11th, 2011, 01:15 PM

How much will the box with no window and just a large flat screen go for? I'm guessing there will be an actual window in there but it's interesting that they would rather show the flat screen and "bottle service" on the table instead of the view of the field. And don't even get me started with whatever the hell that's supposed to be on the wall behind the chairs. Maybe there will be a Crate and Barrel outlet at the stadium as well.

krudmonk · June 13th, 2011, 12:37 AM

How do they anticipate people paying money to be at a game in that part of town just to work on their laptops and not see the field? It's almost offensive how stupid they think we are, but it's sad to think they may be right.

I really hope that's never built.

SantaTeresaHills · June 13th, 2011, 05:44 PM

I'm wondering if they might keep some of those lounges / restaurant areas open all year round.

JoshuaSantos · June 13th, 2011, 05:53 PM

Look closely at the photo again, the seats facing the stadium view are where the "camera" of the photo would be. They are just showing how nice the suites are on the interior. Every suite is in that 5 story glass tower on the side, so they all have floor to ceiling windows facing the game.

Totally agree! There should be some retail on the ground floor that will be open year-round.

krudmonk · June 14th, 2011, 12:14 AM

It's in the middle of a desolate industrial zone. Nobody will go there except for a football game. It's not like stopping by the Sharks store on Santa Clara Street.

The Santa Clara Convention Center is right across the street and gets tons of traffic. I drive by it every day and it seems like there is always something going on. That alone could probably support some retail. There are also tens of thousands of homes within a few miles radius, a light rail stop, and half a dozen Silicon Valley corporate headquarters in the immediate area.

612bv3 · June 14th, 2011, 09:21 AM

I've been to that area a few times to go to Great America and there's honestly nothing there. The convention center is across the street, but there's not a lot of pedestrians walking, just cars passing by.

Anyways, I hope that's not the final design of the stadium.

No not a lot of pedestrians, but tons of corporate buildings and housing in the immediate area. The area is also retail deprived (can look how packed Rivermark always is). @First is the only major retail development in the area.

Right-hander Trevor Cahill knew well enough not to mess with the mojo his A's teammates are carrying.

Cahill, who chose to wear the team's alternate gold jersey for the first time this season, delivered eight masterful innings as the A's finished their sweep of the Giants at O.co Coliseum with a 2-1 victory Sunday.

Catcher Landon Powell homered in the eighth to break a 1-1 tie.

With a 0-5 record and a 5.67 ERA over his previous seven starts, Cahill needed to snap out of his own funk if the A's were going to win their fifth consecutive game.
