    Food trucks take credit cards, as does the beverage tent. Cash-only friendly beer cart will bring beer right to you! Many friendly people picnicking, lots of families. Bring sunscreen!

    Pack a picnic blanket and sun shade. Great place for families to just hang out and let the kids run around. Sports Basements loans out balls, plenty of food options to try, and blanket side cocktails!

    Poutine from Fins on the Hoof and European drinking chocolate from Dandelion Chocolate! I've had better lavender lemonade than Go Streatery's and will look for a better ramen burger than Nombe's

    There are public restrooms in the same building as Transit Cafe near the northeastern corner of the field. Oh, and the Wing Wings fried chicken is amazing.

    Even though people say layer up, on a rare warm day in SF, bring a beach umbrella or something that creates shade because there isn't much there.

    Get here early to beat the lines! For the best views, make sure the bar stand isn't in between you and the Bay.
