Well, what can I say... At least the seats are cheap?
This multipurpose field is on it’s way out of use as a baseball stadium. And for good reason. It’s big, it’s ugly, it’s surrounded by blacktop and a freeway. And it’s best use is really for football.
Kim & I were, however, able to see a piece of history. We saw the last baseball game at Qualcomm Stadium. And we have the ticket to prove it.
Besides a lot of highlight reels from the “glory” days at Qualcomm, formerly known as Jack Murphy Stadium, it was nice to feel a part of Padre’s history if only for a moment. And there was a sense of excitement in the air as a new stadium awaits this franchise a few miles away in downtown San Diego.
Goodbye, Qualcomm! Here comes Petco!
