Several sources seem to contradict the statement in this article that the Giants pay nothing for use of the city land under the park.

The questionable statement:

"as well as free use of the land it sits on, among the most valuable real estate in the country" -- this appears to be based on a single 2004 source: http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/2004/05/14_gordonj_sanfranpark


One contradictory article states:

"The Giants pay $1.2 million in rent each year on the 12.5-acre ballpark site, part of a 66-year lease with the San Francisco Port Commission."

(source: http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2002/oct/22/privately_built_pacific )


Another contradictory article says:

"The Giants lease the land on which the ballpark sits from the Port of San Francisco at a fair market value."
