Some are jumpy since the NFL Team That Used To Be Here bailed for L.A. in 2017. But this isn’t close to being the same thing.
Fans react at Petco Park as the San Diego Padres face the Los Angeles Dodgers during Game 3 of the NLDS at Petco Park on Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2024. Found amid the messy fallout from the ice storm created by Padres owner Sheel Seidler’s lawsuit vs. her in-laws, was a massive, jagged hunk of artificial hail. It shattered near Petco Park and sent pieces that hit most every fan in San Diego.
With the NFL gone, the Padres have a tight grip on San Diego’s major sporting neck. We may be a one-horse town, but it’s one helluva pony. And the team was really good, no worse than third-best in baseball. The Padres were fun, and people enjoy fun. But by last year, the team already was one of the sport’s great draws, aided by its venue and downtown location. A gathering spot.
I suppose some people have gotten jumpy since the NFL Team That Used To Be Here bailed for L.A. in 2017. But this isn’t close to being the same thing.
