Parking at Petco Park is undergoing a significant price increase, with new street meter rates rising from $2.50 to $10 from two hours before events. This change affects both locals and visitors, as costs can reach $60 for a six-hour period. The Padres team expressed surprise at this policy shift initiated by the city without their input. The new variable policy allows for further increases, allowing charges up to $20 an hour. Comparatively, parking at Dodger Stadium has its own challenges and higher base rates.
City crews have installed about 400 signs in downtown San Diego to inform drivers about new street parking-meter rates, which will increase significantly during events at Petco Park.
The new variable parking rate policy approved by the San Diego City Council allows for charges up to $20 per hour, starting with an initial rate of $10 for events.
Padres officials expressed surprise at the parking price increase decision by the city, indicating it was made without adequate consultation with the team.
Parking at Dodger Stadium, in contrast, is pricier with general admission parking set at $35 prepay and $40 at the gate, making the distance to the seats a concern.
