During spring training, it is the home stadium of both the San Diego Padres and the Seattle Mariners, who play in the spring training Cactus League. Both teams are leased to hold spring training there until 2034.[4] The Mariners moved to the facility in 1993, prior to the completion of the stadium.[3]
The complex has been a site of the Vans Warped Tour every summer since 2002. It also hosts a number of other events, including youth baseball tournaments and city events.[5]
