Cheer on the San Diego Padres in the state-of-the-art PETCO Park, located in downtown San Diego. A baseball game is always a great way to spend the day with friends and family. Choose from stadium seats or hang out and have a picnic in the grass seats. There is a little baseball diamond where kids can emulate their favorite players while the game is going on. Not to mention a wide range of food choices. Visit here for the schedule and tickets
