PETCO Park 2011 Home Opener - San Diego Padres
PETCO Park Downtown San Diego April 5, 2011
It was a beautiful sunny day in San Diego for the Padre Season Opener at PETCO Park. The stadium was packed and the fighter jets flew over to christen the 2011-2012 baseball season in San Diego. Since the Padres ballpark opened in downtown in the Gaslamp Quarter the Padre games have taken on a new element of being exciting because of the great stadium, PETCO Park and the great location of Downtown San Diego. The energy is awesome and purely San Diegan.
The World Series Champions San Francisco Giants were in town and so were many of their fans to root them on. In the section that I was sitting in with my family I was in the middle of arguments between Padre and Giant fans to the point where a Padre fan was kicked out by the police for allegedly threatening a Giant fan. So much for a nice day at the ballpark with the family, it got a little out of hand.
Other than that incident the Padres had a great game and defeated the Giants 3 to 1. It was a little cool once the sun went down but we all got free Padre T-Shirts which added an extra layer of warmth. This was the first Padre game of the 2011 – 2012 baseball season and there will be many more I will attend this year. A baseball game at PETCO Park is a staple for San Diego Sports Fans. Come check a few out this year.

[…] This is a great area to spend a weekend afternoon to stroll up and down the main street called India Street. Some of the well known restaurants are Filippi’s Pizza Grotto, Mimmo’s Italian Village, Landini’s Pizzeria and many others. There’s also lots of sidewalk dining that is very romantic and quite enjoyable. Very similar to some areas in the Gaslamp Quarter down by PETCO Park home of the San Diego Padres. […]
