It's no secret that the San Francisco Giants' on-field product has been subpar to the point of bordering on boring in recent seasons. However, the same could be said about the Giants' in-game entertainment experience at Oracle Park. The SF Giants have been featuring essentially the same program during games since 2010. The Giants continue to play either Don't Stop Believin' or Lights during every game. There's the 'Kiss Cam.' While still moderately entertaining, there certainly hasn't been major change or innovation. Until now.
The Giants have significantly upgraded the in-game experience at Oracle Park entering the 2024 season, finally adding LED lights that are essentially capable of putting on light shows during games. Many other teams have been utilizing this technology for years, while the Giants lagged behind and seemed stuck in their ways, insistent on reliving the early 2010s for all eternity. It's a new era of Giants baseball now, and the improved lights will also be paired with a much-needed and much-improved sound system that will enhance the experience for both fans and players, per the Giants' press release. Which speaks to the players not being happy with how quiet/unintelligible the sound system was at Oracle.
Paired with the Giants' huge offseason, these upgrades should go hand-in-hand with a far more entertaining product on the field. A better team plus a better in-game experience at the ballpark should help make games far more entertaining to attend, and hopefully will contribute in bringing people back to the ballpark. These changes, both on the field and off, were far overdue for the San Francisco Giants. But better late than never. Now, there's reason to get excited about the Giants and attending Oracle Park again.
