One day I woke up in San Diego. The weather was of course beautiful, but the Padres were not home.
When I travel I like to play “if I lived here would I root for the xxx’s” game. The Giants, yes. The Diamonbacks no. The Padres..well I could see myself getting bleachers and sitting near the area with the sand. (In all these scenarios I am rooting for the Mets as well and only rooting for my adopted team when irrelevant to the Mets.)
Seemed like a nice park. I have heard it has the same obstructed view plexiglass issues as Citi Field does (and the Giants have).
The Padres are presently using a too-complicated font (especially on the road jerseys). They had it right with the previous design…a dark blue and orange mixture.
Anyways…here’s some random photos. Next year I think I am going to book a west coast swing…hopefully MLB will schedule an old style SF-LA-SD stretch.
