The team's tickets, parking and nearly every concession are priced below the league average, yet Pad fans are sour on the expense of La Jolla baseball. "When you live in San Diego, everything is about cost," says gaslampball.com's Dexter Bustarde. "People like to complain about how much stuff costs." At least shelling out an arm and a leg (as far as fans are concerned) comes complete with all of Petco's perks. One of the biggest is Park at the Park, a 2.7-acre grassy hill behind the shallow centerfield bleachers where folks can watch the game and kids can play on a Little League field. A strategically placed videoboard allows parents to keep one eye on Junior and the other on Jake Peavy. While not thinking about spending more of their money. - Andy Kamenetzky
