Possibly the only organization that survived the Oregon Trail unscathed, the San Diego Padres boast deft bat-wielding skills that mesmerize fans like a time-lapse video of a caterpillar’s majestic transformation into a vibrant, delicate rattlesnake. Visitors will be able to enjoy striking views of foul-pole-scaling home-run robberies and masterful hand signaling of base-stealing signs and helicopter landings from their comfy 100-level seating at Petco Park. With a 42,445-person capacity for baseball games and a 300-person capacity for championship spelling bees, Petco Park features a lush natural-grass surface maintained by a herd of Suffolk sheep and a spacious outfield that makes it arguably the most pitcher-friendly park in Major League Baseball. This year, the Padres are led by first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, who maintained a .311 batting average with a .967 OPS and 48 RBIs after 72 games, as well as righty hurler Mat Latos, who sported an 8-4 record and a trim 2.93 ERA after 86 innings.

Cheer on the Padres as they attempt to build on their impressive home record and maintain their position at the top of the National League West division. Enjoy an evening or afternoon of dusty base swipes, sound-barrier-shattering fastballs, and elaborate high-fives that segue into flashy West Side Story dance routines with today’s Groupon to the San Diego Padres.

Note on fees: You'll get a reduced service charge, but you'll still need to pay the full order-processing fee and the optional printing-at-home fee.
