Some pictures of San Diego

Here are some pictures I took while spending a day in San Diego this weekend. We took the Amtrak Surfliner down from LA and I got some photos out the window.

There was a Padres game. We did not have tickets. We did see the huge surging crowds of Padres fans. It remains soooo funny to me that the stadium is "Petco Park." Petco is simply a silly word:

I love downtown stadiums because you can walk all the way around and hear people screaming at unseen thrills from the inside of the monumental facade. If an alien came to earth they would write the craziest sci-fi horror about our sports experiences:

Made me think about how crazy it is that Dodger Stadium in LA is surrounded by parking lots instead of restaurants. Loads of problems to solve before we can get the kind of postgame entertainment that loads of cities with downtown and transit-accessible stadiums have. But it's good to dream!!
