Stadium advice

I should have wrote earlier, but I'll be hitting all five California parks starting June 29th. Is there anything in particular I should make sure to see about your park, batting practice guidelines, etc.? Thank you very much!

If you want to see the entire facility I suggest that you buy a “Park Pass” it is only $5.00 and it allows to meander through the entire facility, there are plenty of standing areas with tables to rest beverages and food on, even right behind home plate. You should go to the Hall of Fame Bar & Grill in the Western Metal Supply Building there is a patio that you can watch the game from there are two sittings one from opening until the 4th inning the other from the 4th inning until the conclusion of the game. As far as watching BP the Padres usually hit until 5:40 ish on night games and then the visiting team hits and the gates to the seating bowl open at 5 on weekends and 5:30 on weeknights. If the “Park Pass” is not your cup of tea I suggest to try the Marketplace on the Padres website for tickets.

You've got to pay EXTRA to walk around the park?

The "Park Pass" is admission to the game, and the Western Metal Supply Building is inside the Ball Park. If you have any more questions please pm me.

Get there early (during BP) and put your name on the reservation list.

I love the Dodger Stadium concession stands!! It's pretty much like a food court.It's so fast and easy...You pickup what you want and pay the cashier...
