Petco Park isn’t just the home field of the Padres—it’s a modern marvel that blends sports, architecture, and community development. A guided tour through the stadium can highlight its unique design features, sustainable practices, and the behind-the-scenes operations that bring baseball games (and other major events) to life. From the meticulously maintained field to the cutting-edge multimedia systems, each facet demonstrates the careful planning and collaboration that drive large-scale event venues.
This setting provides a wealth of educational angles, from business and marketing to geometry and physics (think about those homers that test the stadium’s outfield dimensions!). Classes can explore how professional sports teams fuel local economies, inspire civic pride, and unite communities. By experiencing Petco Park’s operations up close, students glean practical insights into career paths that extend beyond the pitcher’s mound—from groundskeeping and architecture to ticketing and advertising.
