A ballpark co-headline with Luke Bryan that starts at four in the afternoon — not the evening show most people are expecting.
Petco Park on 16 August is a Double Down Tour date, which makes it a fundamentally different night from the amphitheater shows that make up most of this run. Two headliners share the bill, and the listed start is 4:00 PM — more than three hours earlier than a typical date on this tour.
People get caught out by this constantly. Turn up at seven expecting an opener and you will have missed a substantial share of what you paid for. Plan the day around an afternoon start, not an evening one.
An open ballpark in Southern California in mid-August means you will be sitting in direct afternoon sun for the first part of the night. Shade arrives late and unevenly depending on where you sit, which is worth factoring into your section choice rather than treating it as a pure price decision.
Sun protection matters more here than at any other date on the schedule. The bill starts at 4:00 PM in an uncovered stadium and the sun does not drop meaningfully for hours.

Good to know
The show is listed for a 4:00 PM start, but that is the start of the bill rather than Aldean's set. On a co-headline stadium date the running order is not published far in advance and can alternate between cities, so the venue's own listing closer to the date is the reliable source.
No. It is an open-air ballpark, so the whole event is exposed to weather and, at a 4:00 PM August start, to direct sun for a considerable stretch of the evening.
Neither is opening. This is a co-headline Double Down Tour date where both artists play substantial sets, which is also why the night starts so much earlier than a normal show.
