    Fun first experience

    by Fun first experience on 12/30/23Petco Park - San Diego

    I bought tickets to the Holiday Bowl well before I knew who would be playing the game. I wanted to experience the Holiday Bowl and take my girlfriend. We had a blast and will definitely do it again in the future. Might become a new tradition for us. Looking forward to next year.

    Very pleasant experience except for the concessions

    by Al4USC on 12/30/23Petco Park - San Diego

    The game was great and the field view appeared to be excellent from all parts of the park. The field layout was very well done despite the fact that Petco is a baseball stadium. Entry and exit were very smooth and there were no delays. Unfortunately the concessions were another matter. Most concession stands ran out of food by halftime and those that didn’t had very limited selections. I was able to find one that still had hot dogs available but there were no condiments for them. This reflects very poor planning since the attendance was nowhere near a sellout. I would definitely go to another Holiday Bowl game if I could be assured that these deficiencies were addressed.

    Great game

    by Tanner on 12/30/23Petco Park - San Diego

    The game was great, it’s Miller Moss’ time! Caleb Williams was great, but it was time for a change.

    Terrible

    by Steve V on 12/30/23Petco Park - San Diego

    Terrible! Absolutely terrible!! I bought the tickets thinking I got great seats close to the action. When I got the ticket’s delivered to my app the tickets said “obstructed view” well, what the heck?! It didn’t say that when or before I bought them. When we got to our seats they were at field level, which would have been awesome if it was a baseball game, but this was a football game and all the players stand along the sidelines and block the view. We saw absolutely nothing! We had to watch it all on the damn jumbo screen. This was an absolutely disgusting experience. We could have just stayed home and watched it on tv and got a better view. Next time I’ll use a different vendor to buy my tickets. Shameful Ticketmaster!!

    great game - great venue

    by dan on 12/30/23Petco Park - San Diego

    The weather was perfect, the staff was helpful, a nice place to sit outside and watch a very good football game. I was worried that a football game in a baseball stadium would be bad views but it worked out very well.

    10/10

    by Jose on 12/30/23Petco Park - San Diego

    Everything was great, but I believe the food and drink service to your seat should be available as it was during last year's Holiday Bowl.

    Game was great.

    by SD Native on 1/4/23Petco Park - San Diego

    Skyshow sucked. Can't expect the Sky Shows to be as good the the first couple i went to, #7 and 8 back in the day when there were concerts before, but not being at the Murph or Qualcomm it sucked, ive set off more fireworks in my backyard before.

    Great game, disappointing Sky Show

    by Richard on 1/4/23Petco Park - San Diego

    I had two friends from UK join me for the game since it was their first time seeing a college football game and a bowl game at that! Now after telling them they are going to see a highly offensive game and a INFAMOUS Sky Show, the teams decided to play more of a running game until the fourth quarter which ended in a very exciting finish. After waiting for over a half hour for the Sky Show to start, it was was a huge disappointment. It was introduced as Sky Show 2.0, but it had no lasers or light show as promised, just the usual fireworks of previous Sky Show’s but on a smaller scale. I felt they could have emptied the field a little more quickly to get the show started. I apologized to my guests for the let down, but they kindly understood. The pregame and halftime shows were GREAT.

    Holiday Bowl

    by Spiderlegs on 1/1/23Petco Park - San Diego

    Had a wonderful day. Started by riding the Green Line to downtown. Then a walk up the Gaslamp District before picking out a restaurant for lunch. We got to the park at 3 and had a great time visiting the booths and getting free merchandise. The game was great and the stadium was a great place to watch from. Loved it all.

    Love Petco, but not for football

    by Liz in SD on 12/31/22Petco Park - San Diego

    Having the Holiday at Petco is great as a temporary fix. And its always a great party downtown! But for the game itself I hope it returns to the new Snapdragon Stadium next year. And the KGB 101 Sky Show 2.0 was pretty much a bust. For several minutes the music was blasting but not the fireworks.

    Great game. Petco definitely works for football.

    by j. m. on 12/31/22Petco Park - San Diego

    The only negative was a less than average SKYSHOW‼️

    San Diego is awesome!

    by Arthurd54 on 12/31/22Petco Park - San Diego

    The start time of 5pm was excellent. One big reason is because the MTS busses are still running after the game. They really need to extend their operating hours. The game was fantastic! Having the Holiday Bowl in Petco Park gives the Gaslamp Quarter businesses a big shot at fruitfull tourist dollars. Even though Petco is not well suited for a football field, it adapted very well. The staff and thise who organized the event did a wonderful job!!

    All around it was a great experiece.

    by jsebsal on 12/31/22Petco Park - San Diego

    I attended with my daughter and son and his six and eight old boys who had a blast. The only negative part was the delay after the game with the fireworks. There also appeared to have been some breakdown with part of the fireworks and apparently did not materialize. Otherwise, it was good and we, as a family, with my neighbors,, have enjoyed the Holiday Bowl every year since 1998when Arizona played Nebraska. I am a U of A graduate and my neighbor is a Nebraska grad.

    Great game except for the fireworks

    by Rick on 12/31/22Petco Park - San Diego

    Everything was great with the exception of the fireworks. We waited over half an hour for the start, and then the sky show was a very amateur production. Don’t do that again.

    holiday bowl at last

    by Linda on 12/31/22Petco Park - San Diego

    Digital parking and event tickets worked perfectly. Our seats were great, but a bit further from concourse area than I expected. The game was fun and the pregame events lived up to expectations. My only negative comment was that the fireworks were underwhelming compared to old Qualcomm days. Think the smaller venue got smokey and generated delays in between to let the smoke dissipate. Overall it was very festive.
