The other night the Padres were up 11–1 over the Brewers in the bottom of the sixth, so instead of watching the rest of the game from my seat, I decided to wander around Petco Park, taking photos of whatever caught my eye.
This ballpark brings back so many memories and so much history, from documenting its construction when I worked as the City of San Diego’s Multimedia Production Coordinator to countless family outings after work.
And then there’s our family brick, still resting at Palm Court Plaza, next to the historic Western Metal Supply Co. Building. It’s a small piece of our family history in a place that holds so much of mine.
Here are a few shots from my walk around the park, along with some construction photos I took back when this ballpark was being built.
