Petco Park

East Village

Petco Park is home to the city's major league baseball team, the San Diego Padres. The ballpark is strategically designed to give fans a view of San Diego Bay, the skyline, and Balboa Park. Reflecting San Diego's beauty, the stadium is clad in sandstone from India to evoke the area's cliffs and beaches; the 39,860 seats are dark blue, reminiscent of the ocean, and the exposed steel is painted white to reflect the sails of harbor boats on the bay. The family-friendly lawnlike berm, "Park at the Park," is a popular and affordable place for fans to view the game, which brings the total capacity to over 42,000. The ballpark is known for an exceptional variety of local food vendors and craft breweries, including burgers from local icon Hodad's, garlic fries from family-owned Gaglione Brothers, "Cardiff Crack" nachos from Seaside Market, and slices and brews from Pizza Port. Behind-the-scenes guided tours of Petco, including the press box and the dugout, are offered throughout the year.
