With rideshare services like Uber, Lyft and taxis, you can enjoy the perks of Petco Park without the hassles and safety issues. If you want to drink before the game or try all the local beer inside the stadium, you definitely do not want to drive yourself. And even if you don’t plan on drinking at the Padres game, driving your own car means finding a parking space. This can be time-consuming, unpredictable and costly, even to those with high karma. Of all the transportation options, taking an Uber is the most popular way to get to Petco Park, from your doorstep right to the entrance gate.

Uber After The Game

How easy is it to catch an Uber from Petco Park after the game? It’s a function of supply and demand. And as you can imagine, there is a moment sometime about 17 minutes after the final out when there is simply no way for supply to match the surge. So the solution is a combination of luck, timing, and patience. Try to be quick on the draw if you don’t mind hurrying. Or, take your time and let the rush subside.

Designated Area

A designated ride-share loading zone is located outside Petco Park on Park Boulevard & Harbor Drive.

Tips and Tricks

Your best bet may to be to walk a few blocks away from the ballpark and try to get an Uber or Lyft there. Some Uber drivers prefer to avoid the chaos of post-game pickups. Try a nearby hotel. Or spend a few extra moments enjoying the Gaslamp District and downtown San Diego.
