SAN FRANCISCO–Don’t plan on showing up at 7:15 p.m. for weekday games at AT&T Park next season.
In a letter to season-ticket holders Tuesday, Giants CEO Larry Baer announced that the club plans to break with tradition and move the start times of weekday home games up 30 minutes to 6:45 p.m. The change does not include games scheduled for Fridays.
Baer said the Giants have made the switch to “better serve families and fans during the work week,” and promised more details in the coming weeks.
Though the Giants drew close to 3.2 million fans in 81 home games this year, the club suffered its second consecutive losing season and watched attendance begin to dwindle after the All-Star break.
