PETCO Park has established itself within the sports industry as not just a great venue for baseball, but a fantastic venue for entertainment. On Mon. September 22, the class had the opportunity to discuss its design and construction with three of the most important individuals involved.
During our morning class, with Coach Dennis Green, Erik Judson stopped by to discuss not only his experience with PETCO Park, but also analyze the current stadium issue which the Chargers are facing. Erik is currently working with JMI Sports, but was with the Padres front office during the stadium development and construction. Erik remains very close to the Padres organization as JMI Sports is owned by John Moores, who also owns the Padres.
During our afternoon class with Richard Andersen, Hadrian Predock, and Alan Petrasek not only spent some time talking with the class, but also sat in and offered feedback on a class presentation. The presentation was on stadium architecture and design and what the future holds for that segment of the industry. Hadrian was one of the lead designers of PETCO Park and the insight he was able to offer on the design elements put into PETCO Park was literally something no one else could offer. Alan, who works with Clark Construction, was able to offer a ton of insight on the factors that influence a project of this size, along with the struggles which this unique project had to overcome.
Not only does the program have tremendous access to a top tier facility, but the information and discussion with these three individuals offered a great understanding of the years of work that goes into making a project like this be successful.
