	PETCO Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The stadium is named after the pet food retailer PETCO, which is based in San Diego and paid for the naming rights (since the retailer spells its name in all capital letters, the spelling "Petco Park" is not correct).
		The construction cost of over $450 million was partially funded by the Centre City Development Corporation, the San Diego Redevlopment Agency, and the stadium is intended to be part of a comprehensive plan to revitalize San Diego's aging downtown, particularly the East Village area east of the Gaslamp Quarter.
		When the Padres announced that PETCO (which is based in San Diego) had obtained naming rights to PETCO Park, PETA was unable to pursuade the Padres to terminate the agreement.

		The other feature of Petco Park I like is the incorporation of the Western Metal Supply Co. building.
