The Barometer Online

Hola from San Francisco

It is now about two hours from the opening kickoff and everything is beginning to be set up and ready to go. The ball park is absolutely beautiful and the weather looks to be okay at the moment. It feels alot like Corvallis outside, but for San Francisco, it’s not too windy. It’s very interesting to see the field in football format since I have watched countless baseball games on television. The field is very crammed in, with portions of both end zones in dirt. It really looks awkward but they managed to pull it off.

The Barometer staff arrived around noon at the ball park, walking about a mile and a half through downtown. Being a Giants fan, it was amazing to walk in and look at everything in the stadium. Lots of OSU fans walking around and not many Maryland fans, which is not surprising considering the distance. Had the opportunity to go out last night and went to a nearby bar that featured all OSU fans. At times, the OSU chant was unleashed, so even in a city of almost a million people, Beaver fans voices were heard.

The players and coaches are beginning to warm up, and considering how cold it will be later, it is probably a good idea. We are in the perfect seats if the Giants were playing, but for football is a weird angle to be covering the game. It still works, and it should be a mighty good one. One thing I won’t miss from the trip is the Emerald nuts being distributed in the press box, but that’s just me. See you after the game.
