all right. a live look. it's 6:00. the bunting is up. the field is prepped. the orange and black are back. sounds so good. the giants have seven games under their belt so far this season but for most sfans today is the day they've been waiting for. it's the opening day at home. good morning. i'm sam brock. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. we have a ton of stuff to get to. how some fans are bypassing long security lines. >> and a new eats that foodies are going to love. >> and later, all access as we take you inside the giants newly renovated clubhouse. >> all right. all those stories and much more, but coming up first, it's not just us out here. we've got an entire team contingent at at&t park this morning. bob ridell is here roaming around somewhere and

meteorologist christina loren is here. she will have the forecast coming up. for right now send it back to weekend anchor following all the day's top story frsz our newsroom this morning. good morning, kyra. >> good morning, laura. good morning, sam. thanks to you. here's a look at today's top stories. two men are in the hospital this morning after a shooting in berkeley. . they were shooting at each other this morning. no word on any arrests. divers will be out in the san joaquin river search for a motorcyclist who fell off the antioch bridge yesterday. investigators say the motorcycle collide with the car sending the rider into the water bellow. . the last of the new ramps between i 80 and 280 opened an hour ago. the new flyover ramp sends drivers straight from northbound 80 to 280 without having to merge for traffic at stevens creek boulevard. florida republican marco rubio is expected to announce a presidential run today. his announcement follows

sunday's long awanted announcement from hillary clinton that she will run for president. that's what i'm tracking here in the newsroom. now i want to toss it back out to laura and sam live at at&t park this morning. hi, guys. >> good to see you, kyra. anks this so much. in a matter of hours more than 40,000 fans will be right where we are ready to celebrate a day that they've been waiting for since that historic october night in kansas city. >> i think a couple of them have lined up outside. today they're going the raise the world champion pennant. the organization is keeping tight lipped right now about all the pomp and circumstance like who is going to hoist that pennant and who will toss out the ceremonial first pitch. we do know the marshall tucker band will sing the "national anthem." first pitch today against colorado rockies is 1:45. the giants are urging everyone to be in their seats by at least 12:45 for a very special tribute to the late hall of fame broadcaster lon simmons. >> while most fans will have to wait in pretty long lines to get

into the park as you might expect a select group is getting a fast pass of sorts. "today in the bay" bob ridell is joining us. it's a new program, prechecking at airports. >> it will be similar to airport screening. good morning to you, sam and laura. major league baseball is requiring that any person that enters their venues, including at&t, to be screened with one of that those magnetic wands that you see at security checkpoints. it's a new measure designed to improve security. it could lead long lines as thousands of people try to get through the gate. so to help alleviate the backup the giants are testing an express lane called clear that would allow prescreened fans to zip through. you might recognize the clear name. that's the same company and technology that tsa uses for the prescreening of passengers at ten airports, including sfo and norman etta international. >> there will be a set up for

clear and the people that are designated can walk up and put their fingerprint on it, and they in effect will come up that they've been prescreened essentially and they will be able to walk through. >> the giants have already run a lottery to select 300 season ticket holders to use the clear lane, to be eligible they had to submit their driver's license and fingerprints in advance. the clear lanes will go into effect may 1st at the willie mays gate. if successful they will install ittal all the other entrances as well. sam, laura? >> zipping on in. thank you very much, bob. we'll check back in with you later this newscast. the giants fans at the game are going to get their hands on a world champion pennant. >> what? something like this? >> laura is going to showcase it for you. there are a bunch of other freebies this week as well. >> tomorrow night it's a madison bumgarner bobble head. pretty cool. >> must have for any bobble head collector. on wednesday night the triplets

snow globe has the three world series trophies. those triplets with the backdrop of the iconic golden gate bridge. >> perhaps the most sought after give away of the season, replicas of the 2014 world series championship ring. this will happen on saturday, the day the ring ceremony actually happens. very, very cool. when the giants take the field that day they're going to be sporting a bit of a different look. check these out. the players are going to wear special baseball caps for the gold sf logo on the front and gold trophy on the back just in case you forgot who won three of the last five championships. >> the trophy did a lot of traveling in the off season. real coast to coast tour. in all, the trophy visited 36 cities in and towns all over the u.s. the furthest away was new york city where fans of the new york giants stopped by for a look. more than 50,000 fans took pictures with the trophy during its tour including some fans

right here at nbc bay area. many fans. the tour actually end today at at&t park. >> i would say many fans. we certainly lined up. so once again, you got the pennant, you've got the bobble head this week and also the cool snow globe with what they're calling their triplets. all the trophies. >> you have a triplets of your own but that's not it. >> the triplets want me to bring these home. we're going to save the mad bum bobble head doll for christina. it's cool to start out. good morning. >> good morning. you have to work around like a bobblehead just to stay warm out here this morning. it is really chilly. but that's not keeping giants fans from from funneling into the public house, right now broadcasting live inside. hopefully -- hopefully we're going to have an opportunity to talk to merf or mack or both of them as we head throughout the morning together. you know what, you can still get

tickets to this game. i was checking on stubhub last night and there are still tickets available. cheapest though just under $100 for this morning. temperatures are chilly today. this afternoon it's going to be about ten degrees cooler than it was yesterday. we're starting out in the 40s and 50s. we're on our way to the 60s and maybe a few isolated 70s. somebody is stirring up trouble. hope they find out what's going on over there in just a moment. as we get into your afternoon, temperatures are going to be chill out here if you're coming out to the game. 64 degrees for the 50fifth inni. a very strong end with chill factor. wind will be fierce by the end of the game. i do believe that will impact the ball during the game today. watch for those flags to blow out toward center field. if we see any pickup, that's where the ball will be carried. isolated showers tomorrow morning. then a big warm you toward end ft week. i got to tell you it's not just the people out here in the orange and black with their

giants gear on, rooting on the home team. we are seeing guys in business suits giving us a big rousing "go giants" as they make their way off to work this morning which you may be trying to do so which is why we want to check in with mike inouye, big giants fan. i'm sure you and your son mason are excited about the boys bag back in town. i'm happy you're back. i missed you. >> thank you, christina. i miss you guys. i didn't miss the hours but, you know, we'll take what we can get. looking out here. doing a great job at willie mays plaza. folks are saying, hey, to christina. it stopped and nothing reported at the desk yet. we'll track that around at&t park and the bay. heading over to at&t park we have this crowd building in toward san francisco. the metering lights are on. expect a late morning build. at the maps, 1:35 game. christina told you they hope for fans to be in their seats by noon. late morning build by 10:30, 11:00. folks will be moving over there.

when we typically see the end of the commute we may see another build at the bay bridge. east shore, smoothly and build off the maze. kyra told you about the overnight activity. shooting at berkeley is still close in the vicinity but the b.a.r.t. station for berkeley is open and that's clear. so. you should be okay through the area but just through berkeley right at ashby, that will be the problem for the morning for the foreseeable future. north bay had a fender bender at south 101 but that sounds like everything is out of lanes. we'll track that. no slowing there. all of the way down to the golden gate bridge. east bay has your typical westbound highway 4 slowing out of the antioch and pittsburgh and bay point. tri-valley with the slowdown through livermore. just the build for the tri-valley southbound as well as 680 as well as westbound 84. also more slowing just off of that castro valley for 880 zn in through hayward. over toward the south bay, northbound 101 and 87 has started to move more smoothly. see the build once again.

crashes at tully for 101 and 67808 for alum rock. we're going to end with this shot of 101, no problems all of the way back into the city where sam and laura have the best seats in the house until they get kicked out. back to you, guys. >> no kidding. we'll coup to the stands and get garlic fries. >> that is my intention. still ahead on "today in the bay," the ingredient to success. why the head of the giants says the team is so successful, coming up. but first, a look at one of the giants commercials starring the brandon. >> go brandon. >> gotcha. >> did you know? >> dadgummit. >> try have a bad photo of crawford. the man never takes a bad photo. until now. ♪ i got you now.

>> crawford, hold my snake. >> ah. >> impossible! i am an electric crew foreman out of the cupertino service center. i was born and raised in the cupertino area. it's a fantastic area to work. the new technology that we are installing out in the field is important for the customers because system reliability i believe is number one. pg&e is always trying to plan for the future and we are always trying to build something stronger and bigger and more reliable. i love living here and i love the community i serve. nobody wants to be without power. i don't want my family to be without power. it's much more personal to me for that reason. i don't think there's any place i really would rather be.

welcome back on your monday morning on your home opening monday morning. this is a inside bird's eye look at at&t park where we are live broadcasting ahead of today's home opener at 1:35. right now let's get to know one of the new faces for the giants sporting orange and black. casey mcgee. the giants traded for the former marlin third baseman this off season. his biggest moment as giant so far, two-run home run. already gone deep me did so on wednesday against the arizona diamondbacks. mcgee was porn and raised in santa cruz. he's a local guy. he graduated from soquel high. he's been out of the lineup

nursing a bone bruise in his knee but mcgee is expected to return to the field in the next couple of days. the giants added mcgee to try to fill the shoes of departing pablo sandoval. >> the panda was not the only one we lost but tim flannery also hung up his cleats. >> three championships and eight years with the team he announced his retirement saying he wanted to spend more time with his family and focus on his music. taking over the reins is roberto kelley and hayes takes over first base. the giants would love to win a fourth world series title this season but pundits don't think it's their year. after all the dodgers are touting serious talent. the padres have made off season moves that have analysts calling san diego a favorite. team president larry baer says it takes more than player personnel to win it all. >> people asked as we went through the postseason last year as they did in to 2012 and 2010 what is the secret to the giants' success? i think that so much of it does

have to do the one clause chemistry. that's something that's hard to put your fingers on but you know it when you see it. >> majority of the world series winning roster will be returning this season. do not underestimate the power of chemistry. while today is all about the world champs will be the other special events throughout the day. may 7th is frarch sinatra night celebrating the 100th birthday of old blue eyes. the sinatra family will be there and first 30,000 fans will receive a giant sinatra themed poster. >> just in time. and july 7 the fans will celebrate san francisco native and martial arts master bruce lee. >> and the giants will hold the first ever leo day. life size lego model of one of the giants players to be determined will be constructed at the park. >> that will be very cool to see. certainly a cool start out here. quite crisp, don't you think

this. >> it is. we're layered up. it's cool, windy. maybe expect some of that later into the afternoon. let's find out what the game time conditions will be like with christina loren. good morning. >> good morning to you, sam and laura. good morning, everybody at home. i am live out here joined by tony from martinez. and he came out here dark and early in order to support his team. how long have you been a giants fan? >> i've since i was a kid. probably 30 years. >> wow. >> yeah. a long time. >> all right. so what prompted you to get up at this cold dark hour and get into the public house? >> been opening day a few times on the home opener but never been able to take the day off and come out. my brother and i are here. we don't even have tickets. we just came to come to the public house, watch knbr, merf and mack and gary and larry and we're going the take off and go home and watch the game. >> all right. sometimes it's better from the

big screen or from a big screen in the comfort of your own home, right? you can watch it in pajamas. real quick, what's your favorite giants moment of all time? >> 1986, giants against the astros. his first at bat, home run. off nolan ryan, dead center. houston astrodome. >> knocked it out of the park. there you go. the thrill, 22. thank you so much for joining us. you probably want to get back in there where it's warm because it is chilly. thank you, tony from martinez. temperatures are pretty cold. you're going to be joining us out here for the game today. by the way, i'm out here until noon. make sure you bring a jacket. 53 degrees in san jose. 43 degrees in sart man tin. comfortable conditions for you. it's going to be a little bit chilly during the game. 49 out in san francisco right now. temperatures are cold. hour by hour at&t park forecast we shows you it's going to be chilly all day long.

coolest day of the week. afternoon clouds increasing your day park forecast shows you by lunchtime only warming up into the upper 50s to low 60s. and then by 4:00 p.m. we'll see the upper 60s to low 70s. just about everywhere. but here in san francisco and in oak lawn as well, only getting into the low to mid 60s. temperatures are going to tumble. coastal fog drizzle, golden gate bridge tomorrow. and they keep cranking later on this week, big warmup coming your way. we will give you all the details for your microclimate on how hot it will get as we head throughout the next half hour together. but it is going to feel like summertime very quickly here in the bay area. you know what, though, summertime in the bay area is not that bad, is it, mike? >> no. summertime in the bay area is a wonderful thing, christina. so is spring break. we have the sunnyvale district on vacation. a few schools still on spring break but we will wait for that full restoration.

webb 580 through livermore and dublin. live shot. show you on the maps. standard for the tri-valley. throw drive-thru pleasanton. we do have an issue farther west. san leandro into hayward at a street, stalled vehicle. taking time to get out of the roadway. chp is getting on-scene as well. hopefully they can clear it soon with some assistance. the bridge is looking lighter as a result of folks held up there. heading toward the bay bridge, no problem. metering lights are on. same thing for highway four out of antioch and concord. no drama for the walnut creek interchange. let's look at the bay bridge toll plaza and you have your lanes backed up filling in and fast track moving better than the rest. that will start to build hov, your carpool your best bet and towards san francisco. back out to the maps, reminding you of a late morning build as the bay bridge and golden gate getting into the bay city because you have that midday

game for the giants and we're out there. we have good parking right now for our friends. you will have to get there as well and fight the crowds. 101 and 87. 101 at thely and 680 at alum rock. cleared out of the roadway. i'm still leaving them on the report because chp has them. live look from 101 northbound just at 680 and we see that build starting. 6:20 is when we start seeing the cars. reminder, damian showed us the interchange which hoped this morning so that will mean a smoother flow but adjustment as folks travel through that area. back to you. >> okay. things fpicking up. live team coverage from inside at&t park will continue. next, a behind the scenes look at hunter pence. pence's off season, how he relaxed.

♪

at kaiser permanente, everything you need is under one roof. another way care and coverage together makes life easier. okay, a little easier. become a member of kaiser permanente. because together, we thrive. ♪ i mean, we've had some unique characters. what makes it work here is that they all accept each other. they're different but they don't let their differences, they let it come a strength. i don't want them to change. i want their personality to come out. that's when you're going to be your best that you can be. and i do know that this club represents the city. that's what the city is about, too. >> that was him talking about his chast cast of characters and up with of this year's giants

commercials. kind of cool to see behind the scenes of these guys. certainly all characters. speaking of the character, the giants are hoping star hunter pence is healed up and ready of hit in the field in the next few weeks. >> while in arizona pence did decide to give us an inside look at how he spends his off season while he's getting healthy. training, eating right, and of course gaming. >> i'll beat these guys up. to me gaming is working on the coordination and i like to think of it that way. i know video games has bad connotation. i know video games get a negative connotation a lot of times but they're extremely good for your motor skills, good for your focus. i put pac-man out and now i'm working on this. that's the difference. not only in video gaming but in all sports. the difference between really good and the best is knowing how to anticipate, same with hitting. when you're hitting the ball is moving faster than you can see it and hit it. so you have to anticipate. >> of course pence known for his

hand/eye coordination. the first game he played was ququ qubert on the atari system. their off season was a short one. >> while that's a good thing it means it's a less time for the players to recover after a rigorous season. no one knows this more than buster posey. during the postseason posey caught every inning for all 17 games. for him off season was all about resting the tired knees. >> i think the only time i got in a crouch was to bend down and talk with my kids occasionally. it wasn't too catch any baseballs. >> when asked how long he wants to stay behind the dish posey said he wants to catch as long as he physically can and as long as the giants want him to catch. fans want him to stick around. >> hits a linchpin, no doubt about it. we will have more including a visit from a special guest. >> but first, a quick look back

at some of the most memorable moments from the giants world series run. >> and the curveball is hit high and deep to right field. it is gone! >> belt. high fly ball to right. worth is back. it is out of here! here in the 18th inning the giants take the lead. >> here's the pitch. a swing and a drive to right. pence moving back. moving back. he's at the wall. he leaps. he makes the catch up against the wall. and he tumbles to the ground. that's one of the best plays we've ever seen in right field. >> swing. and there's a hard drive down the left field line looking for the corner. >> swing and there's a drive. deep into right field. way back there. a home run for the game and for

the pennant, the giants have won the pennant. and m and travis is being clobbered by his teammates and mobbed at home plate. >> he throws. swing and a popup. the ball down the line in foul ground. he's got plenty of room. he's got it. and the giants have won. they have won the world series for the third time in five years. >> we are san francisco! we are the world champions!

. are you ready for some baseball? the orange and black are back in the bay area. and today more than 40,000 giants fans will pour into at&t park for the team's home opener. yep, the media is here but we're getting clear out of the way while the fans come in and players. "today in the bay" is so excited to be inside the ballpark this morninged. good monday morning to you. thank you for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. we have a ton to go over president coming up, we'll take you where few fans have gone, inside the clubhouse. we'll bring you an injury update. there are several as well as a new option letting you to get a full pizza delivered right to your seat. >> not just yet. it's still breakfast.

right now we want to welcome in mario, senior vice president of business operations with the giants. this is the guy that knows everything going on behind the scenes. >> good morning. >> this is a huge day for you. >> opening day is always the best day of the year. it was have or short off season. we have a real -- just a special day planned with the raising of our world series banner today and we always like to keep a secret as to how we're going to do it. if we can pull this one off, it's going to be spectacular. >> what are you going to do? >> let's just say that the banner will come into the ballpark in an interesting way. and, you know, seriously, we have such a connection between our fans with our players. when 2 pennant actually gets raised it's going to be a great moment. it's going to be a great day. also going to be with jimmy lon simmons and the players will start wearing this patch on their uniform starting today for the rest of the season. and but it's opening day. it's -- i just love being here this early and the anticipation

of welcoming the team back to the stadium. >> nothing like the start of the baseball season. you know wow have a 1:35 start. what time do you recommend people get to the ballpark and -- >> get here early. main thing is to be in your seats by 12:0045. you're not going to want to miss the ceremony. 12:45, be in your seat. >> effort first pitch as well. >> we have special guest. i will say that as far as the first pitch is when we're going to do a tribute to lon simmons. marshall tucker band is here to do the anthem. this saturday we're giving out the world series rings. >> you've got one of those old ones. >> well, yeah, you know. the players get their rings this saturday. 6:00 game. our players are going to be wearing this new gold jersey that only team that wins the world series can wear. it's one day we're going to wear it. retrojersey in gold and our players will be wearing that saturday night. >> is that something the mlb started? >> yes. in 2010 we won the gold jersey.

at first, but it looks great on the field. >> it's going to be a fantastic day. clear weather for it as well. >> yep. the field is looking good. ready to go. >> let's go, giants, right? let's do it again. >> you got it. >> thank you. kris ashton starting for the giants. we feel good about their chances. live look outside right now. high above at&t park. mario, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> the field is being prepped. opening day is the logo there freshly painted along the third side baseline. third base baseline. >> it's all about the base. that's all we know. it's all about the weather as well. koot start this morning. wind kicking up. do you think it will have affects on the balls out there later, christina? >> yeah, i do believe so. if we see any pickup from the wind it's going to be straight out to center field. that's what a strong west wind does out here at at&t park. now, i am joined by a celebrity, by our bay area standards.

you know what, i think you've got quite a following nationally as well. this is pauley mack of the duo merf and mack. they're broadcasting live right behind me in public house. and you've got a big crowd in there this morning. but something that people may not know about you. i'm sure your crowd does, your true fans. you like to make up songs on the spot. don't you? >> i do. i do. i've always been kind of a below the radar musician. just for fun. i love music. i love playing guitar. i love to sing. i've taken that skill set and brought it into the sports talk radio world. so, yes, i've written a lot of song parodies for athletes. favorite coaches and managers as well. bruce bochy is a guy i love and i have honored him in song as well. yeah. >> maybe you could come up with a song for "today in the bay" in the future. we would really appreciate that. >> it's funny you say that because i'm going to steal one of your ideas and do this on the spot.

"today in the bay." ♪ today in the bay it's going to be okay ♪ ♪ look out san jose ♪ we're on our way i don't know. >> i like it. that works. that works. that is one of the best things i've ever had here on this broadcast live. thank you very much. >> great seeing you. >> let's get people out here. how do you get them off the couch and into the public house? >> we have a great group of giants fans already on hand as you said. really incredible people. it's like a family reunion now. year after year people come with trays of food. the bar is open. i know that's probably going to encourage a lot of people. come on in. have an early morning cocktail. just be around other like-min d ed giant fans. celebratory day. there's plenty of room. come on down. >> thank you so much. "today in the bay" we're going to be okay, san jose. we know the way. temperatures right now, mostly in the 50s to start. it's a little chilly out there. what an honor, a real privilege to get to talk to you, pauley mack.

giants home opener forecast works like this. 65 degrees, first pitch. by the end of the game, chilly, wind whipping at the park later on today. coolest day of the week. afternoon clouds will increase steadily. area of low pressure is on the way. it's actually going to keep the temperature down ten degrees yesterday. in addition to that, expect showers by tomorrow morning. by overall for today all your microclimates showing you mid 60s to low 70s. getting into the next couple of days, big pattern change. high pressure backs off. we're going to see nice cool conditions. that will persist through your wednesday. monday, tuesday, and wednesday. and then that heat is going to crank for thursday into friday as we see offshore flow back in the bay area. look at the difference between the beginning of your five-day forecast and the end. 69 today in san jose up to 85 degrees by friday. so it's not just at&t park heating up. it's the weather as well. you know what, i know that you can make up some pretty good

rhymes, mike, because sometimes we do it back and forth in the studio. but what are your thought on that one? >> i love -- i loved your freestyle. that was a nice hip-hop feel. you guys representing the city and san jose. from city by the bay down to san jose, i'm mike inouye, i'll show you. across the bay right here the golden gate bridge shows more flow down the freeway. le we'll stip at rhine and show you the traffic flow. touching the tops of the hills but not the roadway. fog is not a factor right here. let's look at your maps. nice easy drive coming across out of the north bay through mill valley and the golden gate bridge. the bay bridge, that's where the backup is. because the metering lights are on slowing from 580. this is a pretty typical flow. more traffic than we've seen over the last couple of weeks but not back to 100%. we still see san leandro slow southbound. the stall has cleared to the shoulder and we have a burst of traffic heading west across the san mateo bridge. a lot of folks were held up in

hayward. let's move the drive for the rest of the east bay. tri-valley. 680, pleasanton. we'llsome out and move to the south bay. we have the san jose commute kicking in and silicon valley. i know at least the sunnyvale schools are off this weekend. i think a few others have spring break. here's fremont with the build for 880. wind is at bay right here. things will kick around. sam and laura, we know it's chilly out there but you guys, you have your jackets and the warmth of all the giants fans. i'll send it right back to you guys. >> we've got a fierce wind kicking up as well. that's okay. we're excited. thanks a lot. it is 6:38. still ahead, what the president of the giants is saying about the possibility of nursing suite at at&t park. but before we head to break, let's get to know the giants new leadoff man, nori aoki.

if he looks familiar it's because aoki hit a leadoff for the royals last year. he switched teams. we'll be right back.

park this morning, this is the giants home opener. they are 3-4 so far on the season. but 0-0 at home looking to go 1-0 after today. long time the giants fans turns to new moms may soon have a place to call their home. >> that's right. cincinnati reds gave nursing suites to new moms, gave them a place to go without missing out on the game. president larry baer say it's a great idea. >> we have a lot of female fans. and with, you know, with pregnant female fans as well as newborns, that sounds like a

great idea. we will dooley note that. we've got just about everything else here. that's a good call. we're almost at 50% of our fans female. >> yeah. maybe some future players there. the giants have already figured out how to put a bowling alley and organic garden in the park. >> a lot of moms nodding their heads out there saying, okay, that's what i'm talking about. coming up next, the behind the scenes tour of the newly renovated giants clubhouse. we'll be back with nonstop news, traffic, and wlfr.

welcome back. 6:44 on your monday. this is a very special monday because it's of course the home opener. the countdown is on. the bunting is up. the field is prepped. the giants are back in town ready to raise the world champion pennant in front of 40,000 closest friends at the stadium here. >> in just a matter of hours fans will begin lining taupt gates to make sure they are in their seats by all of today's festivities. the whole "today in the bay" team in the ballpark. we're doing to check the first pitch forecast with our meteorologist in just a few minutes but right now let's check in with bob ridell. we have a new look at the feature only the players get to see. good morning, bob. >> good morning. i don't know if you've gotten a whiff of that wonderful aroma that's wofting through the air. that's the new clubhouse smell. we just got a quick tour inside the new clubhouse which is beyond the dugout, just behind

me right there. this of course is only something the players are going to see but this morning they were kind enough to let us inside so you can get an idea of what it looks like. they haven't really done anything as far as increasing the square footage. it's the same location of the old clubhouse but it's much spiffier, new carpet, new lockers. more personal space is what you can say is the future for the players. and you've got to believe they've earned it after winning the world series three times over just the past five years. and soon the fans will notice a difference. this is something you will notice as you're coming into the park. it's going to start to feel like airport security. major league baseball new requires that every person entering into venues including at&t to be screened with a wand, magnetic wand. it's designed to improve supreme court by. you've got everyone being screened like that the lines can get really long if thousands of people try to get through the gate. to help alleviate that backup the giants are testing clear that would allow prescreened

fans to zip through. you might recognize the clear name. the same company and technology the tsa uses for prescreening of passengers at ten airports. >> there will be a setup for clear. and the people that are designated can walk up andfinge will come up that they've been prescreened and they will be able to walk through. >> reporter: the giants have already won a lottery to select 300 season ticket holders to use the clear lane. to be eligible that person had to submit their driver's license and fingerprints in advance. the clear lanes will go into affect may 1st at the willie mays gate. here we are at a lovely opening day where the temperatures are starting to warm up. you've a beautiful view of what they've got here. opening week here, at&t park, where the giants are going to try to make it six world series in six years, i guess --

three -- four world series in six years. boy, math is hard. >> we have three. one more will make it four. thanks a lot. >> i love that fresh paint on the field there, too, bob. you can see it over bob's right shoulder so we're united effort. >> our own little team of sorts. couple of changes coming to the park i colluding a new app that will deliver a full pizza pie right to your seat. >> it will come from one of my two spots in the ballpark. it will come right to your seat. 20-inch pie, whole pie, a big one. >> wow. are they pizza prices or ballpark prices in. >> ballpark prices. no better pizza than this. >> okay, ballpark prices, what do you think? it's actually code for about 50 bucks a pie. >> a little bit of a markup there. >> a big one though if pizza is courtesy of tone in iy's slice . world cup pizza champion the way

hes to s ttosses it around. >> the giants have a few new options. the seem going to be offering an oreo churro. texture of a churro but taste of oreo and kettle corn cheddar. >> just outside the park, the yard at mission rock is a pop-up village made out of recycled shipping containers. it's the home of food, shopping, community events. inside one of the giants parking lots. larry baer says this is just the beginning of something great. >> the yard is going to morph into a permanent retail. over the next few years you will see a tremendous development that's going to be exciting for the community, for our neighbors. it's going to be really a whole new neighborhood. >> over time baer wants the yard to become a brand neighborhood with residential

and work spaces to go along with the retail. just a week into the season and the giants are dealing with a string of injuries that it looks like most of the players are on road to recovery. >> good news. cas casey. >> travis is also getting closer to a return. he's currently rehabbing in the minors covering from some back issue. >> meantime, pitching matt cain on the dl right now with an arm strain to start the season. no word on his return. as far as we know, he's yet to pick up a baseball. >> and the giants are hoping to get hunter pence back in may. that will depend on how his full arm is healing. you may recall he broke it during spring training. we wish him well. >> heart and soul of the team right there. we are out here on the field obviously. it's a little chilly. a little windy to start your day. >> i would say just a little bit. we'll see where that takes the ball later this afternoon. hoping pitch, 1:35. right now christina has a look at the forecast for us. >> i sure do.

gha get that chant. what we do have the traffic and once you're past the metering light, it lets you go. remember the giants playing at 1:35, first pitch, folks are asked to be in their seats by noon, there will be a late morning build and that will blend into the late morning traffic. that will mean no brakes at the bay bridge toll plaza. smooth flow of traffic down the east shore. more than we've seen but not back at one h100%. we're looking at a slow drive off 24 as well. in berkeley, ashby, still have that intersection closed for the police investigation. the overnight shooting. we'll talk more about that in a second. we v. an easy drive down the east shore freeway. low clouds throughout the north bay. slowing through san rafael. golden gate bridge, wool see more traffic again because of the giants midday home opener. over here, slowing approach that walnut creek interchange. we'll move south of there toward the tri-valley where we have a

smoother drive. will coming from patterson would have taken this slower drive but he got through before all the slowing. now 680 and 880 slowing down. san mateo bridge, a live look shows you why we're seeing the slower drive. we have all these cars pushing over to the peninsula. no big drama, just the build for 101 and 92 through san mateo. back out to your maps and we see a smooth slower drive south 880 and fremont. your northbound commute does build. 85. 87 into downtown. the new connector at 17 and 880, talk about that as well in a second. 101 north. coming up from capitol expressway just a gentle slowing up past fjfc. the amount of traffic starting to build here. i did talk about a couple of stories that you're going to have so i'll let you handle that more in depth. back to you. >> thanks. as mike mentioned, we have some welcome news for south bay drivers. the last of the new flyover

ramps at the 280/880 interchange opened this morning. damian is live. how does it look out there? >> smooth sailing so far, kyra. good morning. the flyover opened on time at 5:00 this morning. and this is great news for commuters out here in the south bay, 880/280 corridor. in the past, those traveling had to mix it up with drivers exiting stevens creek boulevard. that's the exit to valley fair mall and to santana road. the chaos during the holidays had cars lined up on the highway just waiting to get to the mall. this new flyover should eliminate that problem. they broke ground on this project 2 1/2 years ago and there are two separate exit ramps off of 280. one will take you on the flyover. the other is the exit for stevens creek boulevard. that gets you to valley fair mall and to santana road. they say there's still a little work on the road that needs to

be completed. >> vta with caltrans opened the flyover ramp this morning. the major traffic switch is complete. we do have some final paving that needs to happen in the area that's going to make the interchange much smoother but right now it's open and people are pretty happy about it. >> reporter: this is one of the biggest highway interchanges in san jose so the news is good for those who have to travel across the south bay going from highway 280 to highway 880. great news especially during the holidays. live in san jose, "today in the bay." >> damian, thanks. other top stories this morning, two men are in the hospital after a shooting in berkeley. officers say it appears people in two cars were shooting at each other at ashby around 2:00 a.m. no word on any arrests. police are looking for a driver who ran down a bicyclist and smashed into the golfland in milpitas. the driver ditched the car after the crash yesterday afternoon.
