We still aren't sure when or if baseball will be played at Petco Park in 2020 but now we know the jewel in Downtown San Diego's East Village is going to start hosting big events again. The Padres are joining several other public spots in starting to re-open in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic with a unique way to have fun while still staying socially distant.

In this week's OnFriar Podcast, NBC 7's Darnay Tripp and Derek Togerson talk with Padres President of Business Operations Erik Greupner, who gives us a sneak peek at some of the fun events the Friars are planning. There will be music, Hall of Famers ... and the real Ron Burgundy?
