San
Diego Padres
San Diego Padres baseball schedule
San Diego Padres
new home is
Petco
Park. It is Located at the hub of the regional transportation
system, with easy access by car, Trolley, the Coaster, bus and future water
taxis, the Ballpark has ample parking and inviting promenades to and from your
vehicle or public transit.
The ballpark is part of a
larger 26-block downtown
San Diego development project that includes hotels,
retail, and housing, all within walking distance of the San Diego Convention
Center and the popular Gaslamp Quarter. The Omni Hotel, located west of the
Ballpark on L Street (between 6th and 7th Avenues), will be linked to the main
concourse of the stadium via pedestrian sky bridge. The top ten levels of the
hotel will be occupied by condominiums.
The center-field area is
actually two different areas. Within the ballpark itself is the aforementioned
grassy berm for lounging and picnicking. Outside of the stadium will be the
"Park at the Park," where fans can watch the game free of charge. The exact
makeup of the Park at the Park has changed over time: originally it was to be a
festival-type area, but the Padres have scaled back their plans for the area.
The final layout has yet to be determined, as San Diego city officials have
expressed concerns that the Park Within a Park does not match what the Padres
originally promised in pursuing public funding for the park in the past.
San Diego Padres baseball fans will have an easy time getting to the new
downtown
Petco ballpark when
they choose to get there on transit. Located right in the
heart of a transit hub, the
ballpark is reachable by transit from almost every angle.
Three Trolley stations are within one to three blocks walking
distance to Petco Park.
