PETCO Park is the beautiful home of the San Diego Padres. Ed, Farley and Mark will be reviewing this ballpark during our podcast featuring the San Diego Padres. This podcast will be released on Friday, July 16th.
PETCO the pet supply retailer purchased the naming rights when the park opened in 2004. This ballpark is by the San Diego Bay but you cannot see the bay from any vista from your seats. The ballparks’ fixed seating capacity is 42,500 with an additional 3,500 places for lawn seating and standing room only.
Ed Kasputis visited PETCO Park on June 28th. “Bring a windbreaker. To my amazement it was cold and slightly spitting but the ballpark is beautiful and a must see for any fan seeking a Baseball PhD.” Kasputis continued, “the Padres have had only three rainouts in 25 years. Their version of June gloom is a gray day with no chance of rain.”
