It wouldn’t be fitting for America’s finest city to not have an amazing ballpark for it's baseball team; and Petco Park is just that. Although Petco Park has long been considered a boring pitcher-friendly ballpark, the stadium is perhaps the most underrated ballpark in Major League Baseball. Families will love the outfield entertainment area which offers something for everyone.
