Ballpark Winter Blues: Petco Park

It's the middle of January and while the NFL Playoffs and the NBA regular season are ongoing, sometimes, the baseball season just can't come fast enough. Last year, I began a countdown of my favorite ballparks and didn't get to the top two. So, while 3/4 of the country is buried in snow, here's the number two park: Petco Park in San Diego, CA. Due to a surplus of pictures, I'll be posting a part 2 with comments on the ballpark and game. All photos were taken by me on April 30th, 2006.

Walking to the ballpark from the transportation hub in downtown San Diego:

The view of the seating bowl from the left field nosebleeds. If you look closely, two sections in the upper deck are full of Marines from nearby Camp Pendleton. They're in the two sections on the left:
