Padres News: Skydivers On Opening Day

The San Diego Padres official twitter posted pics today of some skydivers practicing landing on Petco Park.

Yeah I know, this isn’t really NEWS, but I love this kind of stuff. I’ve never been skydiving because of my instinctual fear of falling to my death, but I do get a kick out of watching professionals land on fields before games. I’m still a big kid that way.

A few minutes later, Wayne Partello posted this great shot of the new jumbo Petco Park scoreboard during some testing conducted today as well.

So, who is going to be at Opening Day at Petco Park next month? I won’t be there on Opening Day but I will be Saturday that weekend.
