The San Francisco Giants are set to play their 2024 home opener at Oracle Park on Friday, marking the beginning of their 25th season at the venue. This year's opener is especially notable due to a $15 million upgrade to the park's lighting and audio systems, enhancing the game-day experience for fans. The Giants, after spending the opening week facing rivals in Southern California, return to play their first game of the season by the Bay against the San Diego Padres, with first pitch scheduled for 1:35 p.m. Preparations for the game included covering the field with a tarp to protect it from rain, with efforts underway to clear any remaining water. Additionally, Oracle Park will debut as the first baseball field in the country to install spotlights among other new features. The upgrades and the significance of the 25th season are expected to draw fans in force for the game against the Padres.
