San Diego - Padres Game

Our 2nd and last day was spent attending a day game at Petco Park for a Padres game. Will was extra excited since we took the trolley to the game from the hotel. Petco was perfect for our situation - young family. Just beyond the center field wall is a huge sand box for kids to play in, followed by some bleachers, and finally a huge grass burm similar to what you see in spring training parks. They also have a mini ball field next to the burm for kids to take turns batting/fielding for the duration of the big game. After taking the obligatory walk around the entire park, we spent nearly the entire game on the grass lawn. Petco park has several very cool features in my opinion. The sand box, grass seating, and the old building (converted into a bar) are fantastic. My only complaint with the park is that it doesn't have the same brick facade and old fashioned feel that you get with some of the other new parks like AT&T or Safeco. All in all though, I highly recommend taking in a game at Petco if you have the opportunity.
