    do you want license to cheer as girls in shorts throw each other around and try to knock other…read moregirls down, while racing around a track on skates? I think you do. which is why, roller derby lives again! it is a ridiculously entertaining cross between WWF and NASCAR, with funky, 70's realness, 4 wheeled skates (remember those?) and an enthusiastic crowd which was mostly families and hipsters when i went. roller derby is not something I know much about, I am not the WWF type, and I have never seen the reality show (Rollergirls?) so i was pretty clueless about what was going on--but it doesn't matter. you really don't have to know the rules to enjoy it. Just have some drinks and watch the girls (and guys) in shorts fly around the banked track, knocking each other down and doing a milder version of WWF-style takedowns, complete with skate kicks, flipping out of the ring, and generally scrubbing out on a regular basis. But don't worry, kids, the violence isn't real. The fans (who presumably do know what is going on, unlike me) are very enthusiastic, there is a scoreboard and everything, and the overall effect is the fun part of a sporting event, but on fast forward. and with hair-pulling. Also the skating itself takes talent, and is pretty amazing. And they all have great nicknames. I don't think they sell drinks there (maybe beer?) so make sure you get some drinks beforehand (pick a bar, any bar, on haight street, or kezar pub is right across the street from the entrance, if you like crowded smelly sports bars). or sneak drinks in, there was no security check. There is a parking lot next door, in case you can't find anything on the street. The tickets are around $10, the seating is bleacher style, and if you are from SF, you are rooting for the Bay City Bombers--colors are orange and black, like the giants. Last time I went to root for my friend Ron, #30 (Roll, Ronny, Roll!) and we made our own signs and fit right it. If i remember right, you can get sodas and popcorn there, not much else. For $10, this is something fun and different to do on a Sat night. And, it is over at 10 or 10:30, plenty of time to go out after. The next "bout" is Sat Aug 18th @ 8PM at Kezar. And if you really like it, they have open track times for the general public/ training. There is more information on the (awful) website: baycitybombers.com

If 6 were possible, that would be my rating. And the skaters and crowds here are diverse, a true reflection of S.F.and inclusive of the Bay Area folk mix. A great time for family, bf, gf, bff , buds, Derby-curious and wannabes, whatever. Wonderful to see kids there having a great time too. And NOT EXPENSIVE an event at that!! Uh, $10 general, $5 kids!! I totally enjoyed the Bombers and Orlando Thunder game in February and look forward to their next Kezar game this month against the San Diego Firebirds. I haven't seen Kezar packed with a crowd like that in long time!! Roller Derby shows competition, skill, excitement, and gets the crowd into it. I was disappointed when Roller Derby went off the air/television and the league disbanded. It's totally awesome to once again have games regularly scheduled at Kezar. Easy to get to via public transit. And adequate parking for those who drive. And that the games are again being televised on KOFY TV20. This original Roller Derby is the only sport that's co-ed in alternating periods and done on the classic banked track. I prefer the co-ed than the all-girl, flat-surface/track leagues. Skating on a banked tracked is more difficult and requires real pro skill. They kick it up a notch to a higher level. The late great Ann Calvello hailed from San Francisco and was a Bomber herself. She revered the classic co-ed Roller Derby and would be proud of her Derby deciples and fans here. I like seeing some familiar faces and the new faces. And the new expansion teams. I will always be a die hard San Francisco Bay Bombers fan. I am happy to see the Pioneers, Red Devils and Chiefs still in the league, along with a couple of new teams. I think everybody should go see their first Roller Derby game, if they haven't already. You'll get hooked like I did. Big crowd, TV cameras, lotsa action. These skaters are jumpn', not just bumpin'. And they're flyin', showin' their swift moves. Although she gets her share of hits, that Lali-O can sure dish it out!! I truly wish there were more skaters to expand the league even more!! Some of you skate boarder dudes need to show what daredevils you really are.!! IFyou really are!! Bring on your X-skills to the banked track for some good team competition and do what you gotta do to put up them points on the scoreboard. It's okay to lose control. It's Roller Derby! Show 'em off, bring it on!! Keep the crowds roaring and on their feet!

The clinic, to the lunch, and then theater seats with a perfect view...Chefs kiss! During the game, the arena was electric. I haven't felt that in any NBA game I've ever been to. You could feel the energy everywhere. It was LIT. I had heard of the Valks but didn't know much so we were excited upon arrival and left the stadium as brand-new fans!

This magical season has been Nothing But Net and so fantastically on point from the inception. From the selection of the first Black female GM in the W (Ohemaa Nayanin), to the selection of the first Asian American head coach (Natalie Nakase), The Golden State Valkyries (GSV), are showing up as the "upstarts that could", as they topple records and slay unexpected opponents in what is now considered the most amazing arena in The W, Ballhalla! There in Ballhalla the magic continues, as every home game has been played to sellout crowds of 18k+ roaring and adoring fans which are said to rival that of Dub Nation! Nakase has created a team that systematically picks apart opponents with what as now known as one of the top rated defenses in the league, and urges her very cohesive team, made up of primarily rookies and what were previous role players, to intuitively execute game plans with, at times, breathtaking precision. Now as the regular season moves toward its spectacular conclusion, GSV is poised to push further into history as the first expansion team to go to into the playoffs! When you go to Ballhalla, prepare yourself for the thrill of your basketball lifetime ... life is good in Ballhalla ... WELCOME TO THE W!

    San Francisco Giants ballpark is the best MLB ballpark! Not only is it the ballpark of my home…read moreteam, it's fun, exciting, has great views, and good food. This ball park has changed names four times so far and is currently called Oracle Park. The view of the bay is gorgeous in the background and on a sunny day, it's like magic. The park is family friendly. Coca Cola slides are fun for kids and there are many areas to play in the back, including some arcade games. I always enjoy the garlic fries and Giants home run dog from the Doggie Diner cart. Recently, I had the Ghirardelli world famous hot fudge sundae and it was delicious. Food is expensive, but good. The SF Giants regularly have free giveaways such as bobbleheads, shirts, hats, etc and themed events, making the baseball experience even more fun. I love Hello Kitty day! The weather can be brutally cold some evenings, and even daytime, with the chilly air, wind, and fog. And on other days, it can be sunny, warm, and gorgeous. Watching the seagulls come for the food at the end of each game is always funny. I've been to the Giants ballpark many times and have always enjoyed it. At the most recent game I attended, I got to see a grand slam by Harrison Bader! How lucky we were! Although the Giants have been up and down, the 2010 years were the best, 2010, 2012, and 2014. Great decade for the Bay Area!

    We love this park. I believe it's our third visit to Oracle. Set perfectly to take full advantage…read moreof San Francisco's scenic harbor, there's not a bad seat in the house to catch a game. Background Attended a Sunday afternoon Mother's Day game against Pittsburgh . Weather was initially cool, cloudy and windy, but turned sunny and warmer just as the game started. Had field level seats near home plate with a view directly down third-base line. Great game. Giants came from two-runs down three separate times including in extra innings. Pirates ultimately walked the plank 7-6. Stadium Wonderful open outfield view of the bay, including the now famous giant Coke bottle, glove, and McCovey Cove. It's a fun stadium to walk around and take in the sights. Packed house, loud and avid fanbase. I loved the jammin' organist. Very accessible, whether from foot, car, bike (valet service!), train, or yes, ferry or water taxi. I suppose you could even moor your yacht at the nearby marina. Food Sadly, the hot dogs were not good. Regular dog was bland, bacon-wrapped dog was burnt and the spicy dog tasted very much like the canned tamales I hated as a child. So avoid the dogs, there's plenty of other options. Outfield has a popular crab sandwich stand that had a very lengthy line, so get there early. What's Unusual We met a brother of one of the umpires during our stay here, that was cool and unique. Summary One of the best ballparks in the country, a must-see for your SF vacation itinerary.
