Spring is almost here, which means baseball season is right around the corner. If you’re hoping to catch a San Diego Padres game this year, there’s no better place to stay than InterContinental San Diego. Located less than two miles from the ballpark, you will be within walking distance of one of the most spectacular landmarks in the city. To help you have the best game experience, our team has put together a cheat sheet of important information, like what kind of food you can find at Petco Park
Food Guide
San Diego is home to an incredible food scene, and Petco Park is an extension of that. The stadium features several local favorites to provide game-goers with a taste of San Diego. This includes Barrio Dogg, Grand Ole BBQ, and Negihama Sushi. The beer offerings include several California-based breweries, like Coronado Brewing Company, Pizza Port Brewing Company, and Karl Strauss Brewing Company. If you have any dietary needs, several gluten-free, kosher, vegetarian, and vegan options are available.
Parking Options
If you are planning on driving to the game or heading to a game before checking in, there are a few parking options. However, parking is limited, so we highly recommend purchasing a parking spot beforehand. Petco Park put together a map of both preferred and additional options to view nearby parking locations.
What Else to Know
Gates open roughly 90 minutes before the first pitch, but this is subject to change for special events. Before heading to the game, make sure your bag fits within the stadium policy. This includes single-compartment bags no larger than seven inches by 10 inches, diaper bags, and medical bags. While the stadium has a wide selection of food for sale, you can bring in your own food. However, there are limitations on what you can bring.
Reserve a Spacious San Diego Suite
After enjoying delicious food and watching the Padres win at Petco Park, enjoy a night out on the town before returning to InterContinental San Diego. Our bayfront hotel is close to some of the best nightlife the city has to offer. When you’re ready to call it a night, head back to your spacious room. Our luxury suites have everything you could ever need or want from a hotel room, including incredible views.
