Giants Baseball
Tomorrow through Sunday, various times
AT&T Park
Once the owners of baseball’s best record, the Giants now find themselves in a tight playoff race. Currently sitting in second place behind division leaders the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Giants welcome the St. Louis Cardinals to AT&T Park for a significant four game series. Both teams, along with the New York Mets, are in a three way battle for the two National League wild card playoff slots.
Remember to use the MuniMobile app when boarding the N Judah, T Third, E Line, 10 Townsend, 30 Stockton, 45 Union/Stockton, and 47 Van Ness for service to and from AT&T Park.
Visit our service alert page for complete details on taxis, biking, and parking during baseball season.
Muni service note: Muni Metro will provide addition ballpark shuttle trains to assist fans with both pre- and post- game service. Patrons should expect minor service delays near the ballpark due to heavier pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
Oracle Open World
Sunday through Wednesday
Moscone Center
Oracle’s annual gathering of customers, techies and industry leaders, Oracle Open World, will attract tens of thousands of people to the Moscone Center in SoMa for its four day conference. The big finale will come next Wednesday night, Sept. 21 when Sting and Gwen Stefani perform at Oracle’s appreciation event at AT&T Park.
If you’re attending the conference and are planning on using Muni service, your best option will be to take the Muni Metro subway to either Powell or Montgomery stations.
Don’t forget, you can avoid carrying exact change or waiting in line at the ticket vending machine by using the MuniMobile app.
Muni service note: Due to street closure, increased pedestrian and vehicle traffic, Muni routes on Market Street, Mission Street, and streets adjacent to the Moscone Center may see service delays to and from the downtown area.
Temporary J Church and K Ingleside Service Changes Reminder:
Due to Balboa Park Station Area and Plaza Improvement construction work, there are now temporary stop changes in effect for the J Church and K Ingleside lines at Balboa Park Station. These stop changes will be in place through the end of the year. For details, please read our September 1 blog post.
