I went to San Diego for the San Diego Padres FanFest. I am not a Padres Fan but I wanted to see Petco Park. I was not disappointed. I live near and have gone to what is considered the best park in Major League Baseball-AT&T Park in San Francisco. I will say this Petco Park tops this. I was lucky enough to wonder around this great ballpark and snapped a lot of pics. This will be a two part blog as Part I will deal with the sightlines and the stadium, Part II (Friday) will deal with all the unique things that make Petco very special:
Here are two things that have to with the Park itself that makes it special:
 |
| A sandbox to play in near the left field fence |
 |
| This building was abandoned by the company above and it was integrated into the park |
beautiful photos.it is nice to read about this park and stadium...
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was a beautiful place.

Yes, it is. I hope you get a chance to go to a game.

Thanks. I loved it.
DeleteVisiting from Wedded Wednesday. Love the pics and how an abandoned building was re-purposed. Looks like you had great fun!
ReplyDeleteI did and that is one of coolest features of the place.
DeleteThe first thing I thought of was the pet store. lol I love how they integrated the old building in with the park, as well as the sandbox. Your photo with the city in the background may be my favorite shot. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I loved that shot.
DeleteSandbox?!?!? So cool!
ReplyDeleteGot to keep the little tykes happy.
DeleteFun sandbox! I'm not a baseball fun, but did have fun years ago when seeing two Orioles games, one in Baltimore and one in Toronto.
ReplyDeleteThose are two stadiums I have never been too. I need to go.

Deletesuch a great place..Always love the park and stadium..happy Wednesday :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! This is actually the first Baseball season I will follow since I've moved here. My team is the Giants though ;)
ReplyDeleteIt makes sense:
My football Team -> SD Chargers
a little up north is:
My basketball team: The Lakers (I know..... don't even ask about this season)
and another little bit up north:
My baseball team.
Ha. Cali all the way. I hope in 2016 we will finally move there!
Have a lovely week!
Anni
Cool.
DeleteI am Northern Cali all the way, A's, 49ers, Warriors. Been that way all my life.
