Are there home run fireworks at Petco?

Just a quick question, are there fireworks when you hit a home run at Petco (San Diego - Padres)?

I am thinking about starting a franchise and just wanted to make sure Petco had them.

Also, is it still not a home run friendly ballpark or is it on par with the other parks?

Not sure about the fireworks but as far as the home run friendliness, unless I am mistaken I read something that said in real life that stadium is one of the most pitcher friendly ballparks in the league. If that is true then that is how it will play in the game also.

It is still the most extreme pitchers park in the league and I don't think there are fireworks on home runs, but I could be wrong. I remember fireworks causing the field to be filled up with smoke because the wind blew everything back towards the park.

PETCO is by far the friendliest pitchers park in the league. For every 1 run scored in other parks only .741 runs are scored at PETCO. For every MLB home run only .721 are hit at PETCO.

I gave up a home run to the CPU and there were definitely fireworks.
