Yes, some outside food is allowed, with conditions

The Padres' ballpark guide says guests may bring food into Petco Park for individual consumption, with no bulk packaging, pans or pizza boxes. Food must be individually wrapped, bagged or in a single-serve soft-sided container that meets the bag policy, and fruit that could be thrown must be sliced. Outside food cannot go into any ballpark restaurant, club lounge or suite. One factory-sealed still water bottle of 1 liter or less and empty reusable 1-liter bottles (no glass) are allowed.
