Padres announce Celebration of Life for Peter Seidler

The Padres announced details for Peter Seidler's Celebration of Life on Thursday morning. The ceremony will take place on Saturday, March 23rd at 1 pm at Petco Park. The Padres will also wear a "PS" patch on their jerseys for the entire regular season.

Current and former Padres, team and league executives, local dignitaries, family members and special guest speakers will be in attendance for the celebration of life with Padres broadcaster Don Orsillo serving as Master of Ceremonies. Admission is free, with fans required to claim digital tickets beginning Thursday, February 29th. Gates will open at 12:00 p.m. for all those attending. Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.  Parking is free of charge and will be available in neighboring Padres-controlled lots, including the Lexus Premier Lot, Tailgate Lot and Padres Parkade.  Please visit www.padres.com/Events for additional details and the most up-to-date information.

The jersey patch design idea, with Peter’s initials inside a heart, came from Seidler’s children and will be worn by the Padres over their hearts this season on each of their uniform combinations.

The first 10,000 fans at the celebration of life will receive a complimentary jersey patch, and the patch will be available for sale at the Padres Team Store at Petco Park this season with the net proceeds benefiting the Padres Foundation. Funds raised will be used to support the newly formed Peter Seidler Legacy Projects, which will include significant impact grants in the greater San Diego community and northern Baja.
