Tour PETCO Park
PETCO Park Behind-the-Scenes Tour departs the main box office at 100 Park Blvd. The guided tour of this state-of-the-art facility encompasses nearly all "front of the house" areas that are accessible to the public as well as the Padres' dugout area, the press box and exclusive lounges. There are stairs and ramps involved in the tour. Photo opportunities are available. Allow 1 hour, 30 minutes minimum. Tours Tues.-Sun. at 10:30, 12:30 and 2:30. When there is an afternoon home game, no tours are offered; when there is an evening home game, only the 10:30 and 12:30 tours are offered.
The tour covers about a mile and a half, and includes a wealth of interesting facts and anecdotes regarding the construction of the stadium and the history of the Padres franchise.
When it comes to behind-the-scenes viewpoints the PETCO tour will satisfy all of your ballpark curiosities. The first place you are let into are the party suites in the Western Metal Supply building. These digs will normally cost you over $2,000 per game for a group rental, but the tour takes you inside these unique suites to see how to enjoy a game in style. The tour also takes you into one of the more luxurious corporate suites on the Toyota Terrace level. These privately-held suites are individually decorated and feature incredible views and amenities, including private restrooms.
While on the Terrace level you'll enter the press box, where your favorite announcers call all of the play-by-play action, and where the beat writers spend their summer nights. On our tour we were led into the booth where Hall of Fame broadcaster Jerry Coleman calls the action for Padres games.
The most thrilling part of the tour has to be entering the Padres dugout. You walk down the same tunnel the players take from their clubhouse to the field and step into the sunlight, imagining what it must be like to see the stands packed on a game night.
Here you can see the field from a perspective many only dream of. You can look at the bullpen phones and sit on the bench just like a major-leaguer.
You can then walk up the steps, onto the playing field, and walk along the warning-track, behind home plate and into the visitor's dugout.
The San Diego Padres seem to have bounced back from the glory days of 1984 (when they were in the World Series) to again become a contender. With help from standouts like seven-time National League batting champion Tony Gwynn and third baseman Ken Caminiti, the Padres won the National League West Division Championship in both 1996 and 1998. They play April through September at PETCO Park, which opened downtown in 2004; phone (877) 374-2784.
