The Western Metal Supply Co. building is iconic and dramatic, and provides an essential cornerstone of the character of Petco Park. Its gorgeous brick presence serves as a metaphorical handshake between baseball’s past and future.
Its corner represents the left field foul pole at 336 feet from home plate. If you hit the east side of the building, that’s a home run. For more than a decade after the park’s opening, no one had hit the roof. Rookie Hunter Renfroe became the first hitting a 435-foot home run onto the rooftop, a 1-0 fastball in the 3rd inning of a September 2016 game against the Dodgers.
The upgraded Budweiser Loft will feature a refined social area that preserves the building’s historic charm while enhancing comfort with a renovated bar, premium seating, and new entertainment options. The centerpiece of the renovation is a grand staircase directly connecting the Loft to the newly designed Rooftop, offering guests seamless access between these popular spots.
The Rooftop will boast a spacious 4,000-square-foot deck with improved views, premium lounge seating, a covered trellis for shade, overhead heating, and two large videoboards to ensure fans never miss a moment of the game. This revamped space will be perfect for larger group events, accommodating gatherings of up to 1,000 people.
The Foul Pole Suite, adjacent to the Budweiser Loft, is being redesigned with new luxury finishes, expanded seating, and semi-private restrooms, making it an ideal location for intimate groups of 20 or more.
The Entertainment Suite will also see enhancements, including a larger deck, upgraded seating, and improved privacy features. Located near the left field porch, this suite offers an exclusive space for groups to enjoy the game with premium catering and renovated amenities.
The Padres New Era Team Store will expand by 1,000 square feet, featuring modern finishes, improved lighting, and a reimagined layout for easier browsing and faster checkouts, enhancing the shopping experience for all fans.
The other building inside Petco Park is The Legend condominiums.
