==Features== [[File:AT&TPark wall.JPG|right|thumb|The 24-foot (7.3 m) high wall in right field]] The stadium contains 68 luxury suites, 5,200 club seats on the club level, and an additional 1,500 club seats at the field level behind home plate. On the facing of the upper deck along the left-field line are the retired numbers of [[Bill Terry]], [[Mel Ott]], [[Carl Hubbell]], [[Monte Irvin]], [[Will Clark]], [[Willie Mays]], [[Barry Bonds]], [[Juan Marichal]], [[Orlando Cepeda]], [[Jackie Robinson]], [[Willie McCovey]], and [[Gaylord Perry]], as well as the retired uniforms, denoted "NY", of [[Christy Mathewson]] and [[John McGraw]] who played or managed in the pre-number era. These two pre-number–era [[List of Major League Baseball retired numbers#Retired uniforms|retired uniforms]] are among only six such retired uniforms in all of the Major Leagues. Oracle Park has a reputation of being a pitcher's park and the most pitcher-friendly ballpark in the National League, because the depth of the outfield limits home runs, according to ESPN.<ref>{{cite web |title=2013 MLB Park Factors|url=http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/parkfactor/_/year/2013|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140414063624/http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/parkfactor/_/year/2013|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 14, 2014|work=[[ESPN]]|access-date=June 9, 2014}}</ref> ESPN's MLB Park Factors lists Oracle Park as having the fewest home runs per game 6 out of the past 7 years, the one exception coming in 2013, when it was the 3rd lowest. ===Right field and McCovey Cove=== {{original research section|date=October 2012}} The most prominent feature of the ballpark is the right-field wall, which is {{Convert|24|ft|m|1}} high in honor of former Giants [[Willie Mays]], who wore number 24. Because of the proximity to the [[San Francisco Bay]], the right-field [[foul pole]] is only {{Convert|309|ft|m|1}} from home plate, the shortest in the NL [only AL [[Fenway Park]]'s is shorter, at {{convert|302|ft|m|1}}]. The wall is made of brick, with fenced-off archways opening to the Cove beyond, above which are several rows of arcade seating. The fence angles quickly away from home plate; right-center field extended out to {{Convert|421|ft|m|1}} from home plate (changed with the 2020 renovations to 415 feet). Atop the fence are four fountain pillars. Jets of water burst from the four pillars at the end of the National Anthem, as well as when the Giants hit a home run or win a game. The right field area was designed to resemble the [[Polo Grounds]]. This deep corner of the ballpark has been dubbed "Death Valley" and "[[Triple (baseball)|Triples]] Alley". Like its Polo Grounds counterpart, it is very difficult to hit a home run to this area, and a batted ball that finds its way into this corner often results in a triple. It is {{convert|415|ft|m|2}}.<ref>{{cite news|last=Zimmerman |first=Douglas |url=https://www.sfgate.com/giants/article/report-moving-giants-fences-triples-alley-13771707.php |title=Report: SF Giants considering removing Triples Alley |newspaper=SFGate |access-date=April 17, 2019}}</ref> Triples Alley is also infamous for bad bounces, most notably when [[Ichiro Suzuki]] hit the first-ever [[inside-the-park home run]] in an [[MLB All-Star Game|All-Star Game]] in [[2007 Major League Baseball All-Star Game|2007]], by lining the ball off one of the archways and sideways past the outfielders. [[Nate Schierholtz]] performed the same feat in the 2009 season as a pinch hitter. [[Aubrey Huff]] did it again in the 2010 season, as did [[Conor Gillaspie]] in 2011. [[Ángel Pagán]] ended a game in May 2013 with a two-run walk-off (extra-inning, come-from-behind) inside-the-park home run, the first of its kind at the then-named AT&T Park.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-03-23 |title=Five forgotten things about Angel Pagan's inside-the-park walk-off |url=https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/mlb/five-forgotten-things-about-angel-pagans-inside-the-park-walk-off/1290616/ |access-date=2024-06-12 |website=NBC Sports Bay Area & California |language=en-US}}</ref> [[File:Splash Hit.jpg|left|thumb|The "Splash Hit" counter]] Beyond right field is China Basin, a section of [[San Francisco Bay]], which is dubbed [[McCovey Cove]] after famed Giants [[first baseman]] and left-handed slugger [[Willie McCovey]], and into which a number of home runs have been hit on the fly. As of April 9, 2025, 106 "splash hits" have been knocked into the Cove by Giants players since the park opened; 35 of those were hit by Barry Bonds, who remains the only player to record two splash hits in the same game. On September 15, 2024, [[Heliot Ramos]] became the first right-handed batter to record a "splash hit", as all 104 previous hits were done by left-handed batters. These hits are tallied on an electronic counter on the right field wall. Opponents have hit the water on the fly 54 times; [[Todd Hundley]] of the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]] was the first visitor to do so on June 30, 2000. [[Curtis Granderson]], [[Luis Gonzalez (baseball outfielder)|Luis Gonzalez]], [[Cliff Floyd]], and [[Max Muncy]] are the only visiting players to do so twice. [[Carlos Delgado]] and [[Adam LaRoche]] have performed the feat thrice. [[Michael Harris II]] is the most recent visiting player to record a splash hit, doing so on August 14, 2024. On June 27, 2010, [[David Ortiz]] became the first [[American League]] player to hit a splash hit. Since then, the only other AL players who have are [[Mitch Moreland]], [[Adam Dunn]], [[Rougned Odor]], and [[Shin-Soo Choo]]. Behind the scoreboard in center field is a pier where ferries let fans off at the park. On game days, fans take to the water of McCovey Cove in boats often with fishing nets in the hope of collecting a home run ball. Just beyond the wall, behind the King Street ballpark, is a public waterfront promenade. Across the cove from the ballpark are McCovey Point and China Basin Park, featuring monuments to past Giants legends.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Oracle Park Attractions {{!}} China Basin {{!}} San Francisco Giants |url=https://www.mlb.com/giants/ballpark/china-basin |access-date=2024-06-12 |website=MLB.com |language=en}}</ref> {| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed" style="border:none; text-align:center;" |- ! style="{{Baseball primary style|San Francisco Giants}}; |List of Home Team Splash Hits<ref name=splash_hits>{{Cite web|title=AT&T Park Splash Hits|url=https://www.mlb.com/giants/ballpark/splash-hits|access-date=July 30, 2020|website=MLB.com}}</ref> |- |style="padding:0; border:none;"| {| class="wikitable sortable" style="margin:0; width:100%;" |- ! style="{{Baseball secondary style|San Francisco Giants}}; |# ! style="{{Baseball secondary style|San Francisco Giants}}; |Player ! style="{{Baseball secondary style|San Francisco Giants}}; |Date ! style="{{Baseball secondary style|San Francisco Giants}}; |Opponent ! style="{{Baseball secondary style|San Francisco Giants}}; |Pitcher |- | 1 | Barry Bonds | May 1, 2000 | New York Mets | Rich Rodriguez |- | 2 | Barry Bonds | May 10, 2000 | St. Louis Cardinals | Andy Benes |- | 3 | Barry Bonds | May 10, 2000 | St. Louis Cardinals | Heathcliff Slocumb |- | 4 | Barry Bonds | May 24, 2000 | Montreal Expos | Mike Thurman |- | 5 | Barry Bonds | July 19, 2000 | San Diego Padres | Brian Meadows |- | 6 | Barry Bonds | September 20, 2000 | Cincinnati Reds | Steve Parris |- | 7 | Barry Bonds | April 17, 2001 | Los Angeles Dodgers | Terry Adams |- | 8 | Barry Bonds | April 18, 2001 | Los Angeles Dodgers | Chan Ho Park |- | 9 | Barry Bonds | May 24, 2001 | Colorado Rockies | John Thomson |- | 10 | Felipe Crespo | May 28, 2001 | Arizona Diamondbacks | Bret Prinz |- | 11 | Barry Bonds | May 30, 2001 | Arizona Diamondbacks | Robert Ellis |- | 12 | Barry Bonds | June 12, 2001 | Anaheim Angels | Pat Rapp |- | 13 | Felipe Crespo | July 8, 2001 | Milwaukee Brewers | Curtis Leskanic |- | 14 | Barry Bonds | August 4, 2001 | Philadelphia Phillies | Nelson Figueroa |- | 15 | Barry Bonds | August 14, 2001 | Florida Marlins | Ricky Bones |- | 16 | Barry Bonds | August 31, 2001 | Colorado Rockies | John Thomson |- | 17 | Barry Bonds | September 29, 2001 | San Diego Padres | Chuck McElroy |- | 18 | Barry Bonds | May 13, 2002 | Atlanta Braves | Kevin Millwood |- | 19 | Barry Bonds | May 18, 2002 | Florida Marlins | Brad Penny |- | 20 | Barry Bonds | May 18, 2002 | Florida Marlins | Vic Darensbourg |- | 21 | Barry Bonds | September 8, 2002 | Arizona Diamondbacks | Brian Anderson |- | 22 | Barry Bonds | September 28, 2002 | Houston Astros | Jeriome Robertson |- | 23 | Barry Bonds | October 12, 2002 | St. Louis Cardinals | Chuck Finley |- | 24 | Barry Bonds | April 14, 2003 | Houston Astros | Wade Miller |- | 25 | Barry Bonds | April 30, 2003 | Chicago Cubs | Matt Clement |- | 26 | J.

The [[Santa Clarita, California|Santa Clarita]]-based firm Technifex engineered, fabricated and programmed Rusty to appear after major plays during games as a fully animated giant 1920s-era tin toy. After technical problems arose with Rusty, it was removed from the wall, though the enclosure that housed him remained for years. In 2008, the enclosure was removed to make way for luxury boxes.

The ballpark features an {{convert|80|ft|m|adj=on}} long [[Coca-Cola]] bottle with playground slides that light up with every Giants home run, and a miniature version of the stadium. Bubbles originally accompanied the bottle, but never worked as intended and were removed. Directly to the bottle's right from home plate is another oversized representation of a ballpark stalwart, the "Giant 1927 Old-Time Four-Fingered Baseball Glove"—this particular one is made of steel and fiberglass, which is behind the {{cvt|501|ft|m|1|abbr=on}} sign.

The manual scoreboards are operated by three employees, whose work on game days starts at least two hours before the first pitch. A members-only bar, Gotham Club, is located behind the manual scoreboard, complete with a bowling alley and pool tables. Former players and VIPs are the only patrons of this exclusive area.

A statue of a seal bobbing a baseball on its nose honors the memory of the [[San Francisco Seals (baseball)|San Francisco Seals]], the minor league baseball club that played before the arrival of the Giants in 1958. On September 6, 2008, during a series against the [[2008 Pittsburgh Pirates season|Pittsburgh Pirates]], a fifth statue depicting Giants great [[Orlando Cepeda]] was dedicated at the corner of 2nd Street and King Street, next to the ballpark. A sixth statue, dedicated on August 13, 2016, honors former Giants pitcher [[Gaylord Perry]] in the same location. All five player statues were created by sculptor [[William Behrends]] of North Carolina.

Several instances where potential over-the-wall catches to take away home runs were thwarted have occurred because of the advertisement's top dimensions.

[[Kris Bryant]] hit a ball well into left field, with Giants left fielder [[Gregor Blanco]] attempting a catch.
