PETCO PARK

This might be the best ballpark in all of major league baseball. Just amazing! So let me count the reasons:

1) Your not stuck in “your seating level” the entire game. A few years ago fans at most ballparks were forced to their seats once the game started and couldn’t move around and explore other levels of the stadium. Not at Petco where you are free to roam around and enjoy all the aspects of the ballpark.
2) “Park at the Park” is a sweet place just beyond centerfield. There aren’t any other parks in the MLB where you can just sit on the side of a grassy hill and just chill for a little bit while watching the game.
3) Western Metal Supply Company Warehouse adds such a unique feel. Plus inside the warehouse there’s a really cool museum type area with very nice displays.
4) There can’t be a bad seat in the place. For 42,000 seats the place sure felt intimate. Great sight lines.
5) The pricing for tickets and concessions are very reasonable. Granted MLB parks are still way high for food but it isn’t too bad here.
6) All the staff people at Petco were very friendly and helpful
7) The area surrounding the ballpark is filled with unique shops and food options that makes pre- or post-game activities perfect.

This is the 15th different MLB park I have been to and it is well worth the trip if you are ever in the San Diego area. The team might be bad but the ballpark is anything but bad. Great place to watch a ballgame.
