The San Diego Padres play their home games out of PETCO Park, having moved there from the Qualcomm Stadium in 2004. The new stadium boasts state of the art facilities, including seating capacity for over 41,000 fans.
The Padres have had a successful history in baseball, winning two National League pennants and four West Division titles as of 2006.
One of the San Diego Padres’ most successful players was Tony Gwynn. His career saw him win five Gold Gloves and become a fifteen-time All-Star. He is considered one of the best hitters of his generation.
