Petco Park

Petco Park opened its gates for the first time in the spring of 2004. Renowned for its striking backdrop, which combines the urban skyline with ocean views, this Major League venue provides a pristine setting for a perfect day at the ballpark.

The stadium welcomes up to 40,209 ticket holders to each event, and it merges modern amenities with elements that celebrate the distinct vibe and culture of the city. More than just a sports facility, Petco Park has become a symbol of San Diego’s spirit.

One of the most unique features of the property is Gallagher Square, which is essentially an open-air park at the park. Although views of the action on the field are minimal, it’s a fun general-admission area for families to enjoy the game-day atmosphere.

Memorable Padres Baseball Moments

• Series in Sight (10/07/1984): The Padres and Cubs came into Game 5 of the NLCS knowing they had one game to secure a spot in the World Series. Chicago took an early 3–0 lead, but San Diego scored 2 in the 6th and 4 in the 7th to clinch their first pennant!

• Division Champs at Home (09/28/2005): The Padres clinched the NL West Division title at Petco Park with a 9–1 win over the Giants. It was their first division title on their new home turf, and the victory sparked huge celebrations in San Diego’s East Village.

• Spectacular Save (09/24/2006): Trevor Hoffman became the all-time saves leader with his 479th save, surpassing Lee Smith. This historic moment, accompanied by AC/DC's "Hells Bells," occurred as the Padres secured a division title, cementing Hoffman's legacy in baseball history.

• Wild Card Comeback (10/01/2020): In an epic game during the NL Wild Card Series against the Cardinals, the Padres staged a dramatic comeback. Key home runs by Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado turned the game around, making it a historic postseason victory for the Padres.

• Historic No-Hitter (04/09/2021): Joe Musgrove threw the first no-hitter in Padres history against the Texas Rangers, etching his name in franchise lore. This ended a 52-season drought of no no-hitters. At that time, they were the only team in MLB that hadn’t achieved this feat.
