PETCO Park Information
PETCO Park was opened in 2004, and it is the home of the San Diego Padres. This park will be spectacular in every way, combining the best sight lines in baseball with breathtaking views of San Diego. The park is made mostly of natural stone and stucco exterior and involves some fabulous landscaping. The idea behind the design of PETCO Park was to give it a relaxed feeling that reflected the typical lifestyle of the San Diego citizen. The park itself was built so that it could give the best possible views of the bay, the mountains, and the downtown area without detracting from the feeling of the park itself. The field is asymmetrical with various features adding to the charm of the brand new ballpark. Every seat is equipped with cup holders and adequate leg room, unlike many other ballparks, and seats farther from the action are angled in towards the playing field.
There are no obstructed views from any of the 42,000 seats at PETCO, and they’ve devised a system of regional public transportation that is incredibly efficient and useful to the average baseball enthusiast. PETCO Park was built with the consumer in mind, and combines elements of the future with a touch of the past.
