San Francisco Giants Buy SF’s Historic 103-Year-Old Curran Theatre
Downtown San Francisco is getting a new cultural twist thanks to the Giants. The team has officially purchased the historic Curran Theatre, a 1,600-seat venue just two blocks from Union Square. While BroadwaySF will keep running shows and ATG remains in charge of operations, the move signals the Giants are betting big on arts and entertainment, not just baseball. The Curran has a long history of premieres and Broadway runs, and the new ownership promises to keep the theater alive with a mix of music, comedy, and family-friendly performances.
The acquisition comes as part of the Giants’ growing footprint in the city, from Oracle Park to Mission Rock and Pier 48. It’s an unexpected move for a team whose offseason headlines usually focus on free-agent signings, but fans can look forward to a downtown venue that keeps the city’s cultural scene buzzing. Whether you’re a theater lover, a Giants fan, or just looking for something new to check out near Union Square, the Curran is set to shine in a whole new way.
