I was exceptionally underwhelmed by Petco when I went there last month.
I heard all these things about how great the park was. Instead I was greeted with long lines for everything (because they don't have beer vendors in the crowd), an exceptionally 'raw' park with bad seats all over the place and an industrial/half-finished (read: half-assed) look. The only real charm was the facade of the building in LF and the flames coming from the top of the scoreboard.
Oh yeah, and any game you watch that takes place there is likely going to be 1-0 or 2-1. Not because of great pitching, but because the damn ballpark kills anything hit with any authority because of weather, wind patterns and dimensions. It makes the games pretty boring when you don't even have to see great pitching and defense to get a low scoring ballgame. Mostly you just throw pitches high and down the middle so they'll hit the ball into CF where they'll never be able to get one out.
The atmosphere on a Friday night for a first place club was stale and the most energy I saw was when the cheerleaders and mascot started shooting t-shirts and hot dogs into the RF seats (though the cannons were quite impressive).
Honestly, I couldn't have been more disappointed.
