Your Ride to the Giants Home Opener
Post Date
Take me out to the Caaaalllltrain!
Caltrain is your safe, convenient, affordable way to see the San Francisco Giants Home Opener at Oracle Park.
With the San Francisco station located one block from the ballpark, fans arrive quickly, safely and energized to cheer on our beloved Giants.
They've kicked off the 2023 season with three road wins, but now the San Francisco Giants get home field advantage in a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals.
Caltrain is ready to drop fans at the game and get them home after the last out. Keep in mind we suggest seeking other transit options for weekend games as service delays are expected. We appreciate your patience as we work to improve our service through with our Electrification Project.
Be sure to keep your eye on the ball Caltrain.com/Giants for the latest info on relevant service changes.
Riders are encouraged to check the schedule for service to and from the park to ensure they are at the platform with a paid ticket before trains arrive and depart.
