It has so many San Diego local eateries in the park that are fabulous such as Hodads, Cardiff Market, grand Ole'BBQ, and so many more. We loved the Pacifico grill. They served up grilled NY streak and lobster sandwiches on a buttered roll. The park views are amazing and Petco's location in the gas lamp gives attendees many options for pregame or post game fun. It's a blast here since most home games are sold out. I love this place !

Updated review! This is after my experience at a sold-out concert here at Petco Park. I scored…read more(nosebleed) seats to the Pierce the Veil concert. I was in Section 306, Seat 20 (next to the stairs). While I was in a far section, I still had a pretty good straight on view of the stage. The screens were large and high quality. They mostly used the screens behind the stage, and less of the side screens. It was still too far to see the band on stage, but the screens were still good. I was thinking someone could bring binoculars if they really wanted to see the stage from this section, lol! But I still enjoyed this high-level view, being able to see all the screens and laser effects and such. They even had fireworks at the end, which I've never seen at this venue but it was awesome! Audio was great, but also loud, so maybe recommend getting ear protection even for the far sections. Overall, I think most seats in Petco Park have a great view. For concerts, I do wish they had more merch booths and I wish there was a map of the locations. I waited an hour for merch, and was cutting it close to the concert start time. You really have to go early to have enough time for merch, drinks/food, and getting to your seats. We got to the stadium around 7pm, merch line 7:25-8:20 (multi-tasked going to restroom & buying drinks while partner waited in line), got to seats 8:30ish, set started at 8:45. Getting out was also difficult and crowded. I saw some people leave early to avoid the rush. I was stuck in peak rush. The first trolley out was packed like sardines. Just a warning!

Oh and my husband and friends too, but come on, it's a completely different scenario when man's best friend is not only allowed at the establishment, but treated like royalty! There is a special entrance for those in the Barkyard program (signup for it online, you must be approved before you come). Once your tickets are checked, you are escorted to the special Barkyard area and to your box. Each box has 4 seats and allows 2 dogs. There is artificial turf on the ground. If your pooch needs to potty, there is a special area where they can go and a Barkyard member will take you there. You are also given a special goodie bag with dog treats, a set of poop bags and a stuffed toy for your pooch, which I thought was adorable. A team member will check in with you periodically and will even take your order if you'd like to order something from their concession stand. The view of the field from the box is a very good one actually and we could see the opposing team warming up right in front of us. A good time for both humans and pooches!

I play flag football myself and watching them play is so cute and exciting. These kids are really good. One day they will be professionals! Woo hoo! This is a nice stadium. I love that it's fake grass cause it maintains the cleanliness of the field. I walked onto the field with my niece and we sat on the grass not having to worry if its wet, etc. the rest of the family sat at the bleachers with their umbrellas lol to protect them from the sun. It's a nice field. Come watch my nephew and his team play every Saturday for the next 8 weeks! It was a tie game! Chargers vs Raiders

San Diego High School uses this place for football and track & field, along with other groups like VAVi and the San Diego Track Club. The turf field is a little on the worn side, but serviceable.

He knew I would not be up for a baseball game in the hot and humid weather we have been having. This was perfect because we got to sit in the shade the entire time but also in comfy seats! Before hand we experienced some good eats with great views of the waterfront and the Coronado Bridge. There was enough breeze to cool us down but it did get warm. They had domestic and premium beer available. They had a wonderful breakfast sandwich station made fresh for you. On the other side there were serving trays with carnitas and Jalapeño poppers. Off to the side were fixings to make your own Nachos. Or you can order off their mini menu. All included except for the alcoholic drinks. Chips, popcorn, bottled water, juice, bowls of fruit. Choices! Our server was outstanding. I don't remember how to spell his long name, it began with a J! He wore eclectic glasses and had a great personality. We snacked so much we dozed off a couple of times in the comfy seats! What a lovely time, and the Padres won!!!

This a great way to watch Padres baseball! Found my ticket on SeatGeek because the club is a season…read moremembership that sold out quickly at the beginning of the season. Rumor is that this section is easy to snag a good deal because it appears to an expensive ticket, but it's actually a pretty good value with everything that's included, especially compared to what season ticket holders actually paid. The view is great as you are situated on the suite level along the third base line, although you cannot see the main Jumbotron. There are still other screens to look at and they had TVs with the broadcast on. Seating is varied in type. I was at a high top table, which was comfortable. Other chairs were standard stadium chairs but with extra padding, while the high end seating were nice looking oversized chairs situated with clear glass in front of them. The menu apparently rotates, but on my night there they served foot long hotdogs, fully loaded mini hotdogs, a nacho bar, pretzel bites with cheese and mustard dipping sauces, cookies, chicken caesar wraps, and salads. There were also areas with grab and go chips, Cracker Jack, boxes of popcorn, and other goodies. All non-alcoholic drinks are free, and you can buy alcohol at a dedicated bar in the club. There were also three dedicated bathrooms that are gender-neutral, but there was still a line between innings. Overall this was a great experience and I felt like a good value for the price I paid. If the suites are first class, then this is just a step below--call it premium economy. Give it a shot!

I guess I don't remember what it's like to sit in such a theater because it feels kinda close to your neighbor like a flight and unfortunately the guy next to me has terrible breath that I had to smell all night. Check in was smooth and easy except there really could have been better signage. There were 2 really long lines which I thought was to get in but then I realized we already had our tickets taken so what was the line for? Someone said it was to take pics and went to the other line saying it was to get in but that didn't seem right either so we just walked right in (which is the right answer) after being confused for like 10 mins or so

It remained closed until 2008 where it was restored and now it full of performances from comedy shows, plays and music. On this first time visit I came here to see Bobby Lee's stand up performance. Our seats were in the balcony level way above. At this level it is a little diffcult to see the stage as you have to angle your head down wards to see the stage. Viewable but its very far. The seats are very tiny and it difficult to walk across as every inch is used up in the theatre. Acoustic were great and the overall detail and restoration is amazing to look at. Great theatre venue overall but would recommend not sitting in balcony.

And can we talk about how well the Padres treat the military? Active-duty service members, veterans, and their families are welcomed and appreciated. They offer discounted tickets for military and first responders, and on select Saturdays and Sundays, active-duty members, veterans, and USAA members can enjoy the USAA Military Appreciation Zone, with discounted food and drinks. This weekend? $5 each. Nachos, hotdogs, peanuts, Cracker Jacks, seltzers, beers, sodas, and water. That's pretty generous in my book! A few tips if you're planning a visit: Tickets: They're surprisingly accessible and affordable. I'd start directly on the Padres website before looking elsewhere. Getting there: If you can, take public transportation. Even better? Stay downtown and make a whole weekend of it. Food & drinks: So. Many. Options. And plenty of places to grab them. I don't think I waited more than five minutes in line all night. Between the views, the vibe, the baseball, and the military appreciation, it's hard not to have a great time. Overall, Fantastic experience.
