Petco Park Reviews


Posted in 2022 in


Every seat in Petco Park provides a slightly different view. We’ve got a lot to say about the Petco Park experience – click around – but we also keep an ear out for other people’s opinions.

San Diego’s Petco Park is the best ballpark in baseball

USA Today ranked all 30 MLB stadiums and guess who came out on top: 1. Petco Park is simply the best place to watch a baseball game. The location (embedded in downtown San Diego), the weather, the food, the beer and, of course, the stadium itself — it’s all phenomenal. Petco Park often doesn’t get the credit it deserves when compared to the Fenways and Wrigleys of the baseball world. But don’t listen to those people. Petco Park is the best stadium in baseball.

How Is The Food

The tastemakers at Thrillist evaluated the same ballparks through their foodie lens: Every Stadium in MLB, Ranked by Its Best Food.

Here, Seattle Mariners took the top honors, but Petco Park made the top 5. The article praises the quality of Mexican cuisine, “some of the best Mexican food in professional sports” but seems to overlook the breadth and depth of its incredible food and drink selection.
