The year 2016 is going to be a big one for baseball fans in San Diego. Yesterday morning, the Padres announced a number of changes that will be coming to Petco Park this offseason. And with the All Star game coming to the ballpark next year, these upgrades should come as no surprise.
Beach/Beacher overhaul
At the center of these changes is the overhaul of the right-center field "beacher seats" and sand pit, which jbox told us about yesterday. In partnership with Sun Diego boardshops, the Padres will be turning the area into yet another new "social" setting for fans coming to the park.
