All three Trolley lines take you directly to the doorstep of Petco Park
San Diego – The iconic Foo Fighters take the stage at Petco Park Wednesday, August 7, and the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) will be increasing Trolley service to accommodate the expected 40,000+ concertgoers.
With the show set to kick off at 5 p.m., concertgoers are encouraged to take the Trolley to the stadium and not let traffic and high parking costs throw a “Monkey Wrench” to their “Rock and Roll”-filled evening.
