If you are sitting near the bleachers, outfield, or Gallagher Square, use the Downtown Gate entrance (or Balboa Gate on the east side).

From the perspective of standing at home plate facing the outfield, the Downtown Gate would be on the left side.

Riding your bike to the game? There are bicycle stands at this gate.

Address

Located at Eighth Ave. and J St., San Diego, CA 92101

Name

All of Petco’s gates are downtown technically, and in fact the Downtown Gate is actually in the most “uptown” location. Perhaps it refers to the target sluggers refer to when taunting that they are going to smack the next pitch downtown.
