The San Francisco Giants are proposing a clever scheme to activate the space in one of its ballpark adjacent parking lots. The Yard, as it's called, could be ready by Spring Training.
"The San Francisco Giants will convert a portion of their parking lot across the Lefty O’Doul Bridge from AT&T Park into a year-round pop-up venue with an Anchor Steam beer garden, coffee shop, retail stores and a waterfront deck," reports J.K. Dineen.
"Dubbed the Yard, the 18,000-square-foot project is being pitched as a way to activate a portion of the property while the team works on winning approvals for its much bigger Mission Rock project — a proposed mixed-use development that will include an 8-acre park, more than 650 housing units and 1.7 million square feet of commercial space."
The article includes more detail about the Yard, including its use of shipping containers to create event space and the brewery's interest in the rapidly transforming neighborhood.
