Jewish Community Day 

YAD, The Clusters and The San Diego Padres have collaborated to bring you Jewish Community Day at Petco Park on Sunday, May 20th (San Diego Padres vs. Anaheim Angels). If you only attend one game a season, make sure it's this one! Why? Because before the game you will schmooze with old and new friends, while enjoying a free hotdog, soda, live music and a custom Padres ballcap within our private space (in The Park at the Park) just for the Jewish Community! Then we all sit together for the game in Field Pavilion seats. Finally, the Post-Game Party will be held at Altitude Sky Lounge. You get all this for only $22, but you must register by Friday, May 4th to guarantee your sitting with YAD. This is a Sunday game against American League West favorite Anaheim Angels (90 minutes north) with the best player over the last 10 years (Albert Pujols)...this will likely be a sell out...get your tickets NOW! Here are more details: 

Affordability - $22/ticket (everything described below is included in this price) 

Seats - YAD has a block of seats just for us in the Field Pavillion (at field level, 3rd base line). Let’s cheer on the Padres together! 

Private Tailgate in Petco (Park at the Park) – Only Jewish Community ticket holders have access to this space in Petco Park’s…Park at the Park.
