7 down, 23 to go. (Petco Park-San Diego)





Welcome to Petco Park in San Diego. I saw a Marlins vs. Padres game here, which the Marlins won. It's a really nice place to take in a game. It's famous for the old Western Metal Supply building integrated into leftfield, and for being a pitcher's park. It should also be famous for its super nachos, but that's another story. (See above.) Somehow I avoided gaining 10 pounds after gnawing through those bad boys.

It's one of those new downtown parks that really livened up the area around it, in this case the Gaslamp District. I definitely recommend going there after a game and taking in the sights.

So the food is good, the fans are knowledgeable, and the park isn't bad to look at, all in all a nice getaway for the family.
