The new home of the San Diego Padres will break new ground in ballpark design. Designed to reflect the unique spirit of San Diego, it will be a modern, irregular ballpark with an intimate atmosphere and state-of-the-art fan amenities. It will incorporate innovative, contemporary, distinctive design elements and include garden terraces, spacious concourses open to the sky and beautiful landscaping. Adding to its civic value, the Ballpark will anchor a larger redevelopment district, featuring hotels, offices, retail and residential components that will transform the previously underutilized East Village into a vibrant new neighborhood and a popular year-round destination for residents, employees and tourists alike.
