The team plays in '''Petco Park''' (naming rights held by the San Diego based pet supply store.  The park has two interesting features:

*The left field "foul pole" is actually the corner of the historic Western Metal Supply Company building: the original plan was to demolish the building, but as it is a National Historic Landmark it could not be torn down without considerable controversy, so the park was redesigned around the building.

*Petco and [[PETA]] have had a running feud over Petco's animal sales: after two unsuccessful attempts to purchase a commemorative brick, on the third attempt PETA purchased a brick with the phrase "Break Open Your Cold Ones!  Toast The Padres!  Enjoy This Championship Organization!" (which, in a hidden acrostic, spells out "BOYCOTT PETCO").  The team elected to leave the brick.
