Bay Area denizens will have plenty of games to choose from \u2013 and presumably more traffic than usual to deal with \u2013 this weekend as nearly every major team in season is set to play at home.<\/p>\n

Cal helped kick things off Friday evening with a football game against Clemson University at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley. And across the Bay, the San Francisco Giants opened their final weekend of the regular season with a night game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.<\/p>\n

Saturday will be even crazier.<\/p>\n

At 1:05 p.m., the Giants will once again take on the playoff-bound Dodgers. The Oakland Roots SC will then play the Phoenix Rising FC at the Oakland Coliseum at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

Rounding out Saturday\u2019s slate of sporting contests, the San Jose Earthquakes will face off against the Portland Timbers at PayPal Park in San Jose and the Stanford Cardinal will square off with Georgia Tech at Stanford Stadium. Both games start at 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

The conclusion to sports-a-geddon will begin at 12:05 p.m. Sunday, when the first pitch is thrown out at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Fans will likely stick around after the last out to hear beloved sportscaster Mike Krukow speak before he heads into retirement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At 1:05 p.m., the San Francisco 49ers will play the Arizona Cardinals at Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara. And the Bay FC women\u2019s soccer team will take on the Orlando Pride at 2 p.m. at PayPal Park.<\/p>\n

Finally, the Golden State Valkyries will have the airwaves all to themselves at 6 p.m., when the second seed in the WNBA playoffs tips off against the Dallas Wings. The game is at Chase Center in San Francisco, where the team has played in front of a full house \u2014 18,064 fans \u2014 for every game of its two-year existence.<\/p>\n
