Padres Hispanic Heritage Weekend — Los Tucanes de Tijuana Postgame Concert
The accordion does not wait for the ninth inning. Somewhere between the last out and the walk to the parking structure, the same grass you just watched a ballgame on turns into something your grandfather would recognize — the opening bars of a corrido drifting over the outfield, thousands of people who came for baseball singing words they learned before they learned English.
That is how the Sunday of Hispanic Heritage Weekend ends at Petco. Los Tucanes de Tijuana, the band that turned the sound of the border into stadium music, playing free in Gallagher Square after the Padres and the Diamondbacks finish in the afternoon. For families who have always lived in two countries at once, this is not a ballpark promotion. It is a homecoming with a box score.
One catch worth knowing: the concert runs on the Sunday theme package. A regular seat will not get you in, and neither will the Friday or Saturday version.
Send it to your tío. He already knows every word.
