Pretty much every stadium in sports is sponsored by a given company, but none may be more amusing than Petco Park in San Diego. Let’s think about it for a second: the Padres’ home park is named after a pet store.
The Padres went to their naming roots over the weekend and held a “Dog Days of Summer” to increase awareness for pet adoption. I don’t know about you, but any time there’s a pet day at a ballpark, I’m hooked. Let’s think about things: are dogs really watching the games? Do we need to buy them tickets and give them a seat? Are we getting them shoes and allowing them to take a turn?
Alright, we’re not going that far, but the Padres did have their Dog Days of Summer and here are some of those pictures (the one on the motorcycle on the far left is my favorite):
