Petco Park

Pros: Visually appealing, parking, public transit, location, neighborhood
Cons: Parking, food, inept staff, view

There are baseball parks that have it all, such as PNC Park in Pittsburgh…as perfect a stadium you’ll ever find. There are close to great parks such as SBC Park in San Francisco and historic gems like Wrigley and Fenway. Then there are the ...

Pros: Downtown location, Easy transportation, Really friednly people.
Cons: High prices, tricky seating system.

PETCO Park opened at the begining of the 2004 Padres season to much fanfare and praise. Throughout its short history it has remained very popular among Padre fans. I visited PETCO in '04 and I was very impressed. I'll go section by section to give my ...

Pros: Beautiful park with a classic/modern look, easy to get to.
Cons: Lousy sound system, below average food.

Pros: Weather, Downtown stadium (although facing wrong way).
Cons: Prices are insane. Cold, industrial stadium. Crammed seats. High concession prices. Unaffordable for families.

Cons: Speed of concessionaires. Food pricing which does not match quality. Stark gray concrete.

Pros: Beautiful New Location Shopping Food
Cons: Not Enough Variety Of Food, Water-Soda-Food Not Allowed.

The park was located downtown next to many stores and food places. Parking right across the street, $10 what a deal! Seats were a little tight, but which park is not. We had a great time. There is a grassy area behind the out field. A cool sand box for the kids. Many concession stands. Many places to sit and have lunch or dinner. Wide halls so your not cramped while walking to bathroom.
