The Candy Factory in its post-move location behind the Right Field grandstand. The light-colored dirt in the foreground at left is where the building stood for seventy-nine years.

Looking into Palm Court Plaza. It is here that hundreds of bricks with personalized messages from fans will be set into the ground. The black area at center is the grand staircase into the Western Metal Supply Company building, with an escalator to the right.

Mini-scoreboard, and a great view of the field, as seen from the Field Level concourse.

This image demonstrates that, even while walking around the concourse, one can “stay in the game.”

Suspension bridge catwalk between the Field Level concourse and the Omni Hotel is an example of great design.

The Park at the Park. Note old location of the Candy Factory (see ground-level shot above).

View to the pit (between the Omni Hotel and the Clarion Hotel) from whence will rise a parking structure with retail space. Note catwalk bridge running across bottom of image.

Although it was a hazy day, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to record the view from the top of the Omni Hotel. This panorama looking south shows the railyard and Trolley barn, and the Tenth Avenue Terminal, with the bay and the Coronado Bridge in the background. Coronado island is at the extreme upper right.

Speaking of the trolley…

In this western vista The San Diego Convention Center overlooks a marina, with bayfront hotels and condominum towers at right.
