In Oakland, die-hard fans, nicknamed the Raider Nation, don silver-andblack war paint. Across the bay in Santa Clara, the San Francisco 49ers are slated to play in new Levi's Stadium, with stadiumwide Wi-Fi and photovoltaic panels, in 2014. In San Diego, the Chargers play downtown at Qualcomm Stadium. Popular AT&T Park, a bay-front baseball stadium with bridge-and-city views, is home turf for two-time World Series Champions, the San Francisco Giants, while the Oakland A's play across the bay at O.co Coliseum. In Southern California, watch the Dodgers near downtown L.A., the Angels in Anaheim, and San Diego's Padres at handsome sandstone-andstucco Petco Park. Minor League teams compete in inviting venues, like Fresno's Chukchansi Park and Sacramento's Raley Field, with family-friendly atmospheres and prices. Attending an L.A. Lakers or Clippers game? Be sure to scan the courtside seats for basketball-loving celebrity fans like Jack Nicholson and Leonardo DiCaprio. San Franciscans await a new bayfront basketball stadium for their Golden State Warriors. In Sacramento, local fans (including mayor and former NBA All-Star Kevin Johnson) have rallied to keep the Kings in the state capital; plans are in the works for a new downtown arena. http://www.visitcalifornia.com/events http://www.VISITCALIFORNIA.COM
