In no certain order, the stadium grounds over the years hosted more than five dozen major concerts (not including when the Beach Boys played after Padres games), Supercrosses, off-road truck races, ESPN’s X Games, sports car racing, two forms of drag racing, Monster Trucks and the local Soap Box Derby championships. On its busiest weekends, the stadium parking lots simultaneously hosted up to four different events - although the dedicated road racing circuit was used just once for a major race with grandstands brought in to line sections of the 1.9-mile circuit.
