If you haven't attended a game at Petco Park, the new home of the Padres,
then you've probably seen it on TV. And if so, then you haven't really

believed. Only then will you understand how truly different -- wonderfully
different -- it is, and why it was the winner of BASEBALLPARKS.COM's fifth annual New Ballpark of the Year award! (You can read the press release making this announcment here.)

location, which is a stroke of genius.

review.
