It was so much fun watching the game with other fans. Almost everyone was wearing some Warriors gears. We're all cheering when the Warriors took over OKC briefly at one point. Such a great atmosphere. There're also some short games, performances, parachute/t-shirt giveaways. Never a dull moment. On the other hand, I was disappointed that Steve Curry was injured and we didn't have a chance to see him play. Warriors lost the game, but it was still a great experience for me. So much better than watching the game on TV. Go Warriors!

Look to the Bay Area Derby Girls in the East Bay to see real competition. But I will say that the banked track (as opposed to the flat track of B.A.D.

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

They used to play at Candlestick Park for many years before moving to Oracle Park, which is a must stop for all lovers of baseball and the best food at any stadium. They even have a Ghirardelli. What more could you want. Everything they have there is great. All of the food is the best. They serve the best sundaes and they have pizza that is not just some frozen junk. And the crab sandwiches are great. We love their uniforms. They have special game nights. They often play super well and they are good sports. So, maybe they did not win the series this year--Who cares. They are a great team, in a great stadium home and they have sundaes--anything else.

They played against Oakland Believers and they won! Pro AM game is set in this good sized gym called Kezar. Why do they have ramps instead of stairs? I guess its good for wheelchair access. Its completely free to go to these games and its a league where talented high school, college, and professional athletes come to play on their off season. If you're lucky you'll catch an NBA player thats in town that will play. I believe Matt Barnes is on the Dream Team and he played last week. If you're a basketball fan you will enjoy the jam packed, high energy game. Its a legit league thats been around since the 70's with referees and everything. We got to see a crazy sick dunk so that was cool. Oh and its a small crowd so you can get a great seat. There is a parking lot next to the Kezar but street parking won't be too hard either because its in the weekday evenings. Its somewhat of a seedy area so be careful.

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!

We attended the season opener at the Richmond Memorial Auditorium this past Saturday, the SF Rolling Dead vs the Oakland Outlaws, and it was entertaining and interesting learning about the sport, as this was our first time watching. The first whistle took place two hours after the doors opened. We arrived a bit early, so we checked out the merchandise vendors in the lobby, and got a couple drinks from the bar, the Crimson Cowboy (Oakland Outlaws themed cocktail) and Vodka Grim-let (SF Rolling Dead themed cocktail). They were both delish, as we rooted for the Bunnies during the juniors game, before start time for the main event. Pickles N Smoke also sold bbq dishes on site, but there was a long line for this, especially at intermission. The game lasted no more than one and a half hours, including the break.
