Petco Park is a baseball stadium located in San Diego, California. It is the home ballpark of the San Diego Padres of Major League Baseball (MLB). The stadium is situated in downtown San Diego, adjacent to the city's Gaslamp Quarter. The largest venue in San Diego, Petco Park hosts various community events and concerts throughout the year.
Petco Park opened in 2004, replacing Qualcomm Stadium as the Padres' home venue, where the team played from their inception in 1969 to 2003. On April 8, 2004, the Padres played their first regular season game at the ballpark, defeating the San Francisco Giants 4–3 in 10 innings. Petco Park hosted the inaugural 2006 World Baseball Classic championship and the 2016 MLB All-Star Game.
Petco Park features unique design elements, particularly the Western Metal Supply Co. building, a historic warehouse incorporated into the ballpark; its southeast corner serves as the left field foul pole. Gallagher Square, located beyond the outfield wall, includes a community park and viewing terrace, among other features open to the public during stadium off-hours.
