text: Ok, I have to be honest. I wanted to give this place 3 stars. It's a nice enough stadium to see a ballgame- but it's pretty cavernous. The stairs are really steep in the upper deck- and for a relatively new ballpark, it has a lot of nosebleeds. The inside is clean enough, but I got the distinct feeling I was in a mall. There isn't a lot of signage to direct you to your seat if you go inside in the wrong area. Permanent-looking beer stands that don't take credit cards, and don't have a sign saying so until you try and pay. Also, the surrounding neighborhood is surprisingly bland and boring, with little post game imbibing possible. Whatever. I went August 7th- driving from San Diego to Phoenix on a whim. Got to the box office just as the game was starting, only to find out that the game was sold out, and the only tickets left were $130 seats. EEK! So as my boyfriend and I were standing there trying to figure out what to do, and all seemed lost, the ticket takers called us over and gave us tickets that some dude had dropped off. That's what earns this place a 4th star. My Padres lost, but I had a blast!
