Petco Park is a baseball stadium located in San Diego, California. It is the home field of the San Diego Padres of Major League Baseball (MLB). The park opened in 2004, replacing Qualcomm Stadium, which the Padres shared with the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League (NFL).
Petco Park is named after the animal supplies retailer Petco, which is based in San Diego and paid for the naming rights. The park includes a baseball museum, the Western Metal Supply Co. building, and the San Diego Hall of Champions sports museum.
The stadium is located between 7th and 10th Avenues, south of J Street. The stadium seats 34,000 people for baseball games and 45,000 for other events. The playing field dimensions are 340 feet (104 m) to left field, 390 feet (120 m) to center field, and 320 feet (98 m) to right field. The stadium also features a unique weather system where a marine layer from the Pacific Ocean cools the air over the stadium during late innings in summer games.
The park has four sections:
The Main Level: This is where you will find Sections 100-134
The Terrace Level: Sections 200-234
The Upper Level: Sections 300-334
