Military
Team of the Military:
Since 1995, the Padres have led the way in honoring our nation's military, pioneering the establishment of a dedicated Military Affairs department. Recognized as the 'Team of the Military' in professional sports, they've built a robust program, including non-profit partnerships, morale-boosting events, in-stadium recognition, and community engagement. Their traditions at Petco Park stand as a testament to their ongoing commitment to our service members, locally and worldwide.
Military Sundays
USAA Military Appreciation Zone
Before every Sunday home game, active-duty service members, veterans and their families, and USAA Members will receive access to the USAA Military Appreciation Zone, where they can enjoy food and drink specials from the time gates open until first pitch in an exclusive area.
Military Hero of the Game
During each Military Salute, the Padres shine a special spotlight on a military hero as a small token of appreciation for their courageous efforts. The heroes are honored with an in-ballpark ceremony, favorable seats, and an encased flag which was flown over Petco Park. While we hold the utmost respect for all military personnel and veterans as heroes, we select a specific Military Hero of the Game through our nomination process.
Military Scholarship Program
The Padres provide an annual $5,000 scholarship to Wings Over America, Tailhook Education Foundation, and the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation. These organizations, in turn, have the privilege of awarding this scholarship to a military-affiliated student of their choice, providing essential support for their college education. The scholarships are awarded to the recipients in a special on-field presentation featuring Trevor Hoffman, Randy Jones, and Maggie Coleman.
