Petco Park REVIEW San Diego Padres

[@Gabe-zm9vh]

I’m from San Diego and I can’t wait for baseball season

[@Gabe-zm9vh]

Great recordings and editing btw. Also like the attention to detail.

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Yes sir! It should be a great season!

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that!

[@MrBennettPB]

As a soccer fan - not knowing anything about baseball - from Germany, I saw 2 games at Petco on a once in a lifetime trip visiting family in SD last year. I absolutly loved it! And I miss it!! Great Video!

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Thanks so much! It's such a fantastic ballpark but the atmosphere is nothing like what you can experience over in Germany!

[@LindaCaballero-h1t]

It’s BEAUTIFUL and PETCO PARK IS ELECTRIC Not only BEAUTIFUL AND COOL!!! It has Even U can ask for there !!! Bars, good food stands and Shops,BEER !! AND OF COURSE OUR GORGEOUS PADRE PLAYERS!!! Don’t be Mad DOGERS !!! Opps 😂Typo !!! 😂😂😂U know who U R !!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Party Time !!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@adamwash917]

I work at a restaurant a block from the stadium, I really take it for granted now but I really can't complain. went to a game with a friend who's not even a huge baseball fan but the vibe inside can't be beat and he loved it

[@SACSportsAdventures]

That’s awesome! It’s a fantastic venue for a ballgame. That must have been cool to work down there with the buzz of Gameday.

[@hendrx]

bro as a dominican, I could only dream of living there.

[@neet2083]

Lets goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! Aww thanks for the shoutout 😅 Loved the vid as always glad you two had a fantastic time

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Thanks for the help, man. I a big believer in giving credit where credit is due. Glad you enjoyed the video. Go Padres!

[@bleary6331]

You missed the awesome bar on the top floor of the western metal supply co. building!!!! Rarely lines for drinks and they have a bunch of pool tables, tv's, and great vibes. Awesome vid man!

[@seankwasny6767]

That is a stunning ballpark! I really dig the open layout in the concourse. The bacon wrapped glizzy looked very tasty too lol

[@SACSportsAdventures]

It was absolutely gorgeous! The greenery on the concourse still has be awestruck. Like something out of Avatar but in a baseball stadium. Haha! Bacon wrapped dogs were FANTASTIC!

[@scsands]

As a 25 years season ticket holder with the Padres, and a peanut vendor while in High School at the old Jack Murphy Stadium (later Qualcomm), Petco is the number one ballpark of all the MLB ballparks that I have attended. Design, food, sight-lines, location, weather, fans, surrounding vibe and fun, huge video score board, media, entertainment, it all adds up to the best baseball experience beyond the Padres themselves. I rate the SF Giants and Pitts Pirates parks as my #2&3, with Wrigley and Fenway as the baseball history buff nirvana locations. The newer Yankee stadium was only Ok, as old Yankee stadium while dated had far more charm and the Mets new park nice, but not a lot around it. Coors field and Camden yards are very cool parks and from the early design generation of today’s newer parks. Coors was cool as it had a lot to do around it in the LoDo area of Denver. Shout out to Safeco in Seattle as another new gen park that was well done. The Oakland colosseum is the absolutely the worst ballpark as I think one of the last multiuser stadiums still around as the Big A in Anaheim was remodeled to an all baseball layout years back and made it a decent ballpark vs. the the old stadium layout they shared with the Rams. Chavez Ravine is a historic park to have a Dodger dog in, and to be able to once upon a time listen to Vin Scully call the game, but just cannot hold a candle to the newer generation stadiums that have wide aisles, open plazas, and much more modern amenities. The old candlestick ballpark in SF was one of the coldest locations to watch a ball game in, especially with the chain link centerfield fence open to the very cold bay winds that blew into the park that had to cost Willis Mays 100 HR’s playing there. Well that my thought of the ballparks I have experience and Petco is my #1!

[@SACSportsAdventures]

That’s a great recap of the ones you’ve visit! I’m hoping to get out to Busch in STL this summer as well as the Angels stadium. Camden and Coors are near the top of my bucket list right now as well. Petco has been my favourite of the 9 I’ve visited and it was incredible! I loved everything about it.

[@FranticMonster11]

Did a tour of Petco in 2018 when visiting America (From Australia) what an awesome stadium! and city....if I was to move anywhere in the world it would be San Diego!

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Right?! Amazing weather and fantastic views!

[@markyoung4549]

I grew up there as a kid and went to Minor League baseball. Got to see the Padres first MLB series with the Astros in 1969

[@SACSportsAdventures]

That’s awesome! I’m glad the Padres are gaining attention recently. They deserve some success.

[@lynns4107]

Great Video of a Fantastic Ballpark. As a San Diego Padres fan, I'm a bit bias, BUT when it first opened in 2004, I wasn't as bully on it. I thought it was a bit sterile and too clean, but it has a lived in feel now that is awesome. I have been to 26 other new and old MLB parks around the country, and it really is one of the best. I will be watching more of your videos!

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Thanks so much! I absolutely loved visiting and it’s by far the best park I’ve been too. 26?! Wow! I’m jealous of that.

[@macdreezy]

Not one bad seat in the house. Great view from any seat 😎

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Agreed! Beautiful ballpark and great amenities!

[@cody_tyra]

I just had a baby so I’m kinda stuck in the house and have just been sitting on the couch watching your channel all day on my 75 inch tv. Have a sub

[@SACSportsAdventures]

That made my day! Congrats and I hope the little one is doing well and letting you get some sleep. Glad you’re enjoying the videos!

[@hosmeruberalles5650]

The Atmosphere is even crazier now, almost every game has been sold out

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Yes, totally! The Ballpark Hunter initially told me about your channel and the places you visit around SD! I’ll let you know if I’m in the area.

[@pellelidell007]

Baseball fan from Sweden here. Petco Park is in every aspect a GREAT baseball park, from location to architectural design. Great atmosphere and cool, friendly people. Definitely on my Top 3 list of the American baseball parks I've visited.

[@SACSportsAdventures]

It’s a beauty! How’d you get into baseball from Sweden?

[@pellelidell007]

@@SACSportsAdventures Back in the early 70s quite a few Americans (IBM staff) moved to my area in Stockholm. As a Swedish kid, I was predominantly into our national sports; soccer and ice hockey. But thanks to my American buddies I quickly developed a deep love for baseball once I got the hang of the rules and tactics. I have followed pro baseball ever since. When I lived and worked in the US for a couple of years in the 90's I spent a minor fortune on MLB and college games in various ballparks. I even travelled to Japan and Korea to sample their vibrant baseball cultures. These days I subscribe to MLB TV and also watch MLB and college baseball highlights on KZbin...

[@robertbrackins1308]

Thanks!

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Thanks so much for your support! (2x!)

[@cesarguadalupelopezlopez5124]

It is the first video I see on this channel, which has been to my liking. Hopefully soon you will be encouraged to visit the stadiums in Mexico; to the 18 baseball parks of the Mexican Baseball League (which is the summer circuit) and to the 10 parks of the ARCO Mexicana Del Pacífico League (which is the winter circuit), I'm sure you can get a pleasant surprise.

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Thanks so much! I’d love to come down to Mexico for some baseball or a Liga MX match. The passion and fan culture there is incredible! I was considering making the trip down to to Tijuana to see the Toros de Tijuana when I was in San Diego but I unfortunately didn’t have enough time.

[@astralchimera]

i was trying to look for on site video review so i can double confirm the seating areas bc im going to a concert in petco park with my friend in june!!!! man i need to go here on an empty day, i didnt know there was so much here i never had the chance to visit somehow despite being born here!! love from san diego 💖💖💖💖

LETS GO PADRES. I grew up in San Diego . I went to opening day in 1969 . I was 9 years old . I bleed PADRES. Baseball . P.s I used to be a San Diego Chargers fan too. But I don’t follow teams to move to LA. P. S . Beat LA.

[@SACSportsAdventures]

I loved getting to visit and Padres fans were a blast! Beautiful ballpark and atmosphere!

[@chac65]

San Diegan here, we do love our ballpark. Go Dads! (many if us do refer to them that way). Glad you enjoyed your stay. The car parking is not as bad as you think. There are a number of lots spread out around the park and, depending on the day, you can even find street parking a walkable distance from the park. I would not recommend that if you are not a local and know the streets. There is also a whole different larger trolley station on the other side of the park that services other trolley lines depending on where you are coming from.

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Thanks for the tips! Hope I can get back soon!

[@expedition2698]

6:04 very top right, didn’t know my school was big enough to get up there

[@GoChargersGo808]

From San Diego and it sucks to travel to other cities cuz pretty much every other stadium experience is worse than petco🤣 Whether is always great and super accessible

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Hahaha! The curse of having the best stadium in baseball. I’d think maybe San Francisco, Pittsburgh, or Baltimore could be good visits in terms of the stadiums themselves but you’re not going to match that gorgeous weather.

[@trib3zz912]

Also a lot of the beers you can purchase at the ball park are all from local breweries like Coronado Ballast point ale smith I might be wrong correct me if I’m wrong but I also believe that the padres are the only team in the mlb to have connection to the military

[@SACSportsAdventures]

I went to the Coronado brewing place when I was out there and it was awesome! I think you may be right. They do a ton of military themed stuff.

[@brianchua4240]

I went to Petco Park in April 2022 when the Dodgers were in town. Saw the Padres walk off unfortunately lol. But I have to admit, Petco Park is definitely one of the best stadiums in MLB history. The only flack I give them is where it's located in downtown. That's it.

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Beautiful ballpark! What don’t you like about the location? Minimal parking? Totally different story than Dodger Stadium surrounded by parking lots. Haha!

We need more baseball park like this. U have centerfield where u being your family or friends. 4 just $10 dollar. Some of the owners such in 2 this

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Agreed! It’s a great way to have affordable games and integrate the ballpark with the downtown surrounding areas.

[@GoofysHatBand]

For my money, it is the best ballpark in California. Oracle is pretty good too but Petco edges is out in both aesthetics and food/beer offerings.

[@SACSportsAdventures]

I haven’t been to Oracle yet but from what I know about it, I agree with you. I really want to make it to SF for a game someday though.

[@SmashTheNumbers]

@@SACSportsAdventures SF has a fantastic park.... but make sure you bring warm clothes, especially in the upper deck. It can be 20 degrees colder there at a night game (with a strong wind) than what the weather report may say.

[@flipper_1969]

I live in San Diego and I am a Padres fan. I've been to a few hundred Padres games at The Murph and Petco Stadium. Born in the sixties and will die here apparently. It sure would be nice if just ONE Major League San Diego Sports team would step up and win the big ONE. It's always great to live here unless you're a sports fan.

[@SACSportsAdventures]

I’m shocked at the lack of sports teams SD has to offer. Beautiful city with great culture and people. I loved visiting and Padres fans were so passionate that it’s shocking that they’re the only major franchise. Things are looking up for them and you’ve got my support!

[@flipper_1969]

@@SACSportsAdventures Thanks for the kind words. Just in my short lifetime I've seen the NBA's San Diego Rockets leave (for Houston), the San Diego Clippers leave (for LA) and the NFL's San Diego Chargers leave (for LA again). We have a very supportive fan base here. San Diego is the 2nd largest city in California and the 8th largest in the nation, yet we have been cursed with horrible/greedy sports owners. We're not the only city to be bitten by certain carpet-bagger owners. Los Angeles and Saint Louis and Los Angeles and Oakland and Los Angeles and Oakland and Las Vegas...I'm getting whiplash from just the Rams and the Raiders bouncing from city to city. From what I've seen of the NFL - I don't miss it. It's a horrible product IMO. I'm good with the Padres and the SDSU Aztecs Football & Basketball programs. SDSU is almost a major league unto it's self.

[@SmashTheNumbers]

TBH: I would rather have those superdeluxe fish tacos, near perfect weather year round and surfing than a pro sports. SDSU's run to the final game in college basketball was fun tho!

[@flipper_1969]

@@SmashTheNumbers Oh! Are you kidding me? What a fun ride....San Diego caught lightning in a bottle and our college basketball team made it all the way to the NCAA Finals!

As someone who grew up in Coronado, I can honestly say that The "Murph" back in the day was much better. It was great in the 70's and 80's and NO it was NOT far from downtown.. 10 or 15 minutes and people loved it!!

[@SACSportsAdventures]

Ah! My bad. In my research I saw the huge concrete parking lot around the stadium and got a totally different vibe from Petco. I think it’s all about trends and how stadiums are moving into downtown areas now and how cities don’t want shared venues anymore.

[@anthonyanaya3490]

Location wise, I loved the Murph living in Poway and Rancho Bernardo. It was a quick 15 min down the 15 and as a kid saw hundreds of Padre games there. But nothing compares to Petco Park, it’s only another 10 or so minutes to downtown from the old murph. I am a first time season ticket buyer for the upcoming 2023 season and I am super stoked to be at petco for more then half of the home games this year. I often hear how it’s the best mlb park in the nation.
