Why did 90% of the crowd at Petco Park consist of Dodgers fans?
All right, over the weekend and today I've seen it, be a topic about how many Dodger fans were at Peco Park. Joe Musgrove was telling the Union Tribune, Jeff Sanders of the U T on Sunday that It was like ninety percent Dodger fans. Or Saturday night, he said, out of control. It was like the most I've ever seen Dodger fans in our stadium, ninety percent Dodgers fans. So, do we have a problem with that? As Podrides fans, do we have an issue with Dodgers fans taking over Pecco Park and it looking embarrassing with how many Dodger fans were in that that stadium? Um look. I understand that it's a bad look. In an ideal world. When we want Padres fans to pack the ballpark? Yes. But the players, as was said in this article that I encourage you to go read at the UT.
The players understand it.
He has to buy season tickets. Not has to, but he does. He's got the money. He buys season tickets for his family, Joe Musgrove does, each season. He knows how expensive it is. Jason Adam also said if I lived in LA, I would want to come down to San Diego too. Muscove said. Um, it's just how it is, man. They're so close. They got a lot of Dodger fans down here in San Diego already. I know they're always looking to fill our stadium. I think partially because the atmosphere is awesome. It's a great ballpark, good food, a fun place to watch a game, but also it's close enough to LA to try to trunk the Padre fans and fill it out with their fans. Yes, all of that makes sense, but really it's about I think financially for a lot of Padres fans.
How do Padres players and staff feel about the influx of Dodgers fans?
And Musgrove said, I buy season tickets every year here too for my family. It's super expensive. You got a chance to make some money back. Makes sense to me, I guess. We would hope that they would hang on to them and would want to come enjoy this series from their seats, but it is what it is. Adam said maybe they sold their tickets so they can buy another jersey. Honestly, we play the game the same, whether home road, whoever's in the stands. We love when our fans show up and they do every night. To cheer us on. Um Peeler saying this weekend was freaking crazy. So like yeah, it was loud. Um obviously watching on T V, especially during the Saturday blog game. It with You would think that it was Dodger Stadium.
if you were not watching what ballpark it was at. With the noise and all that, right? Um So yes, I understand those that are frustrated. I understand Padres players if they're frustrated. But You gotta have the understanding. That As a Padres fan Who doesn't have miljans of dollars? If they live in San Diego and they have season tickets, those are thousands of dollars each. And so if they want to afford postseason tickets, if they want to afford If they want to pay for Multiple games worth. In one game. And then you can watch it.
What financial impact does selling season‑ticket seats to Dodgers fans have on Padres families?
From your house for free. And oh by the way, being around Dodger fans while the Dodgers are smacking us, that's not fun. It's not cheap to live in San Diego. And it's not a playoff series. So yeah, would I like it to still be brown and gold all across the ballpark? When the daughters come to town? Yeah. But at the same time I'll be the first to admit I'm If you wanna say it's a problem, okay, I'm part of the problem then. But like That's what it is, you know, like. Families in San Diego. They have a life to live. before Padres tickets. And Some really don't like being in Peko Park because either they don't feel safe Or they just don't enjoy the experience because The diners have a lot of success success at Echo Park.
Um maybe they don't like hearing loud dot drunk Dodger fans the entire game. Some fans just they'd rather be at home and watch it at home. Instead of spending three times, four times the amount of money that they would spend on a regular ticket in their season ticket package. Or even just for single game tickets. The minimum I saw was like twenty five or thirty and the minimum's like ninety bucks for a Dodger game. So For a regular season game, one of one sixty-two, it doesn't make sense for a lot of families to be paying a ton of money. For one game. And odds are you're gonna lose that game.
