With pitchers and catchers soon to report, the Giants season is tight around the corner

It seems like just yesterday that the team was piled at the pitcher’s mound in Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City after winning Game 7 to clinch their third World Series in five years, but believe it or not, the San Francisco Giants are just about five weeks away from reporting to Spring Training in Scottsdale, Arizona. World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner and phenom Buster Posey will be among the pitchers and catchers reporting for duty, as the Giants look to defending their crown and push for a fourth title since 2010.

The Giants will open the season not far from their spring training locale with a three game series in Phoenix against the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 6. From there they will head to Petco Park for a four-game set with the San Diego Padres before their home opener on April 13 against the Colorado Rockies. The champions will be honored, fans will get a championship pennant as part of the team’s giveaway promotion, and the championiship defense will be well underway. It will also kick off a ten-game homestand featuring the Rockies, Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers. According to TiqIQ, the average ticket price for the Giants home opener against Colorado is $276, with a get-in price of $120, which seems well worth it to be able to celebrate the champs as they take the field at AT&T Park.

Another incredible opportunity for fans at AT&T Park is also available, and it comes with a bit more than just a seat at the ballpark. Bay Area-based experience outfit IfOnly is offering an incredible opportunity for fans to take batting practice at AT&T Park, and give it their best shot to splash one in McCovey Cove. The experience – which is for up to 75 people – comes with a behind-the-scenes tour of the ballpark with a buffet lunch, an opportunity to meet a former Giants player, and a new hat to wear to your next Giants game.

With the season right around the corner excitement is heating back up, and fans now have a chance for an exclusive VIP experience from IfOnly to go with their normal plans to attend games at the ballpark!
