Petco Park, San Diego
Petco Park (2004-present) is the open-air home of the San Diego Padres. The ballpark is located between 7th and 10th Avenues, south of J Street in downtown San Diego, adjacent to the San Diego Convention Center. One of many 'new style' parks designed by architects HOK Sport, Petco is fan-friendly with concourses that provide clear views of the ball game and also integrate into the surrounding city blocks. One of its most recognized features is the historic facade of the Western Metal warehouse tucked into the left field corner. Petco's centerfield is due north of home-plate, an unusual arrangement for baseball, but one that calms the ocean winds and provides grandstand seats with a view of San Diego Bay and Balboa Park. Petco is the most extreme pitcher's park in baseball today, an arrangement that favors San Diego pitchers and frustrates visiting power hitters. While center field is only 396 feet from home plate, the 'power alleys' of left-center and right-center are even further at 402 feet, while the left and right field lines are 334 and 322 feet, respectively.
