The San Diego Padres on Monday unveiled newly renovated Gallagher Square at Petco Park, which looks pretty close to the renderings.

Why it matters: The $20 million remodel has further transformed the park from a grassy hill to watch Padres games into an amphitheater-style concert venue and elevated baseball viewing party.

There are family-friendly attractions and concessions.

There's more standing room and a bigger built-in, tiered seating area on turf in front of the Sycuan stage.
The upgraded kids' ballpark looks more legit (though smaller) than many Little League fields, and there's a Padres-themed playground.
The Tony Gwynn statue is on a new elevated viewing deck with fans' engraved bricks.

On deck: Beyond baseball, several concerts are coming to Gallagher Square this spring and summer. Tickets range from $45 to $100+.
