In 1995, the Padres were the first professional sports team to have a Military Affairs department, and since have been recognized as 'The Team of the Military' throughout professional sports. For more than two decades, the Padres have looked for ways to recognize and honor the men and women who serve. The Padres efforts in recent years have expanded to include First Responders under a broader 'Those Who Serve' initiative, paying respect to the sacrifices made by Americans who provide us the freedom and safety we enjoy.
Support for 'Those Who Serve' has become one of the signature identities for the Padres, continuously striving to deliver a best-in-class program.
The Padres and USAA thank the military and their families for their service and offer special pricing on Padres tickets with verification through GovX.
