Members Who Went Said:
Good deal on the seats. And that is not just because the Padres won.
Fran Russell I hate having to sit at an angle. I have tickets to two more games and then that's it for the Section.
Donna L. Ready to Go! The seats were great and we had a wonderful time. It was a close game, but the Padres won! |

More Details About This Event: In the opening series of 2008, the San Diego Padres host the Houston Astros. The Padres, possessors of one of baseball's best pitching staffs, look to come out victorious in the National League West, a division that last year saw one of baseball's closest playoff races.
About PETCO Park: PETCO Park is spectacular in every way, combining the best sight lines in baseball with breathtaking views of San Diego. Architecturally magnificent, it celebrates the sea, the sky, the natural beauty, cultural diversity and unique spirit of our region. Innovative design features evoke the timeless traditions of baseball in an intimate setting, with state-of-the-art fan amenities to suit every taste and budget.The natural stone and stucco exterior and lovely landscaping, including the Park at the Park beyond the outfield fence, make this the garden spot of baseball, with a relaxed yet dynamic atmosphere that reflects the San Diego lifestyle. Concourses are spacious, open and airy. Signature towers and terraces offer panoramic views of the Bay, the downtown skyline, Balboa Park and the mountains on the horizon of America's Finest City. Fans are lower and closer to the action than at Qualcomm Stadium. The playing field is asymmetrical, with dimensions and charming features that accentuate traditional baseball values. The seating bowl is divided into distinctive "neighborhoods." All 42,000 fixed seats are comfortable, with cup-holders and extra leg room. Seats down the lines are angled to the infield. The two upper levels are built on extended cantilevers, with the front of the Terrace Level only 34 feet above the field, creating a sense of intimacy reminiscent of the great old ballparks. |
