They demanded I unzip my clear see through bag). The low score is: Restrooms not well maintained. Some of them didn't have soap in the soap dispenser. Some didn't have paper towels. And this was on Saturday right around opening of Stockton con. Food. Decided to get food Sunday (2 day event) at 1pm. How do you already run out of pork slider. Pizza not ready for 20+ minutes. A picture of chicken tenders but it's not on the menu. I got pretzel cheese and fries. Stale and have been sitting there for a bit. And the cheese sauce. They almost didn't have any. The staff opened up the machine and squeezed out the cheese. Really really disappointing. How does your food taste worse than those hot dog people outside who are as unsanitary as they come? Better off just using a microwave. I would've been happier.

This place is located on the downtown waterfront of Stockton. As of November 1st 2023, the arena…read morenow operates under its new name, Adventist Health Arena. I came on a Saturday afternoon to watch my good friend's daughter compete in her Jiu Jitsu World League tournament. For a 13 year old, she is pretty BAD*SS!! She only had 2 matches that day, and she won gold in both! I never had any doubts! They had A LOT of matches going on at the same time. It was a sight to see! The Adventist Health Arena hosts many sporting events and live performances throughout the year. You may want to stay at the hotel right across the street if you come for an event and are not from the area. Parking here is nuts, especially during special events, so I'd suggest carpooling or catching an Uber or Lyft. They have the usual food counters spread out for you to get some goodies. Overall, it's a clean facility that's very bright due to all of the windows in this circular building. I wouldn't mind coming again to watch another event. =)

My travel companions are national park people first but baseball aficionados second and they're on a quest to visit as many ballparks as possible. I happily tagged along for this Single-A game, and to my surprise, I absolutely loved it!!! This ballpark is tiny and cute with a cozy feel that makes you feel close to the action no matter where you sit. We even found free street parking just steps away which I would consider a small miracle compared to bigger stadiums. Since we arrived early, one of my friends and I ended up participating in not one but two of the in-between-innings promos and competitions. Did I want to be on the Jumbotron? Not exactly... but when in Stockton, right? I even won a trivia contest and walked away with an adorable little bear which I brought home to give to my friend's son. To top it off, one of my friends got me a baseball for my travel collection and he also gave me the t-shirt he got after winning a blackjack promo, beating the dealer. It was all so fun and silly in the best way. This is definitely a small-town baseball magic that made the whole experience memorable. I think the Ports ended up losing, but oh well! Between the friendly crowd, the quirky promos, and the charm of such a small, intimate ballpark, it was a delightful day. I'm genuinely glad I went and I'd happily come back for another game here!

I was shocked to see Spanos Center receive 2 stars, by two different reviewers, until I noticed it…read morewas by bay area people who wouldn't approve of ANYTHING Stockton, no matter the case. First Review was a two based on the fact that Beer was not served at the Arena, i don't know of many college venues that do serve beer. his second objection was to the quality of the food at the concession stand. Had he checked he would have found that the dogs and polish are the same as served at most bay area sports venues, and not at 5 or 6 bucks like most bay area venues. Second reviewer problem was with a the size of the arena, and b, the price of food at the concessions. On the first point, look at the cracker jack boxes some of the bay area college teams play in. On the second point, if you want a Costco hot dog, go to Costco. If you go to a sports event, expect to pay sports arena prices, which Spanos compares pretty well on. The facility is a first class place to enjoy a game at, with excellent sight lines, easy access, and reasonable parking for proximity to the center. Add the fact that most events are free to kids under twelve with an adult and it makes it a pretty sweet deal.

My daughter who is 6 six years in ballet training has now moved to pointe technique level this year and was amaze with the Swan Lake production. Theater location is in the heart of downtown Stockton. Plenty of street paid parking but I chose to have a little more security/surveillance parking 1 block away from the venue that cost $20. The parking lot is very small, and the attendants were very friendly but limited parking spaces. I suggest getting there early as the good parking fills up. The people working at the theater were very professional and welcoming. The ushers helped walk you to your seats. They sell drinks but I'm not sure if they sell a variety of food. I see people only with popcorn and candy treats. They also have an adult beverage bar. Con: While the show is going on, please do not allow people to come and be seated. Allow for production breaks in between, I know they have them. Everyone is standing up every 5 minutes allowing people to be seated through-out the show. Patrons please be on time it's not the movies or ball game! Lol Awesome venue will be back!

The inadequate fencing/netting means softballs are often escaping the fields and hitting onlookers...sometimes from behind of the field they are watching (blindsiding). Consequently, a steady cry of "heads up" is heard frequently. The snack bar is woefully inadequate in both items served and hours of operation. So are the restrooms. Ladies only has 3 stalls with 1 or 2 either broken or lacking paper. Seating is ample for each diamond. Playground for tots as well as small picnic area scattered amongst parking spaces.

First time coming to lower level ball park to watch a game. And by lower I just mean not the MLB or…read morethe big leagues. I'm not big on baseball so I'm not sure technically what you'd call them. D league? G league? The Minors? In any case it's my first time at a ball park of that level. It's pretty small compared to the MLB ones I've been to. But that's to be expected. Keeping that in mind, they still had a fair number of food stalls open considering how not packed it was. They had everything from dogs, nacho and tacos to the usual pizza and beer. They had a cute little team shop at one end of the park as well. I can't believe the prices at the team shop though. They were comparable to that of the MLB teams. That was just wild to me. But maybe they don't control the pricing and it's more of a supplier issue? Anyways I liked that that had a bunch of fun little activities and stuff in between innings like races and such. Safety seems to be good priority for them as well. When a foul ball came over into our section someone immediately came over to make sure no one got hit or was hurt. That was definitely a nice touch. One down side was that it was pickleball paddle giveaway night and from what we could tell it didn't look like 1000 people had shown up before us but somehow they ran out. There were supposed to be 1000 from what we were told. Not a huge deal just kind of disappointed for my friend who really wanted one. So this is a benefit of the doubt kind of review as I haven't been to other ball parks of this level for a game. Maybe others are better and some are worse. But to me this wasn't a bad park at all. Maybe didn't blow my mind sure but it defied wasn't bad by my standing.

I spent a recent spring Sunday afternoon at the Banner Island ball park watching the minor league…read moreteam Stockton Ports. They are affiliated with the Oakland As. The weather was great, the stadium is modern, staff was helpful, and the vibe and crowd is family friendly. Just a classic day at the ball park. Memory making day. The Ports had a winning day against the Rancho Cucamonga (RC) Quakes. The RC Quakes are affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers. To think that these players may one day play in the Majors, that is pretty cool. Actually there have been many Ports ball players that moved on into the MLB. There is a stadium wall listing the players that achieved that feat. The ball park was built in 2005. Modern design, beautiful minor ball park. It is next to the arena (where the Stockton Kings basketball team plays), the marina is right next to both. The ball park seats 5,000. There are box suites and a connected VIP bar seating that is not open to the general public. All but two concessions closed by the top of the 5th inning. But those two followed suit by bottom of the 7th. The good BBQ was in the VIP section, and that section is locked down. The burgers, dogs, and pretzels at the concession tasted like Costco food court. The stadium is cashless. Tickets range $8- 22 with weekend pricing starting at $16. Parking is $10-15. There is a multistory parking lot between the two stadiums. In addition there were two additional lots, those were surface lots. The mascot, Splash, was present and super eager to take photos with everyone and anyone. He might photobomb your shot. I learned on Sundays, the Ports home game celebrate the Copa de La Diversion identity and they transform into the Stockton Cheladas. What does that mean? They wear a different uniform and colors in partnership with major league soccer to celebrate and connect teams to the local Latino/Hispanic communities. Did you know Stockton is one of the most racially and ethnically diverse large city in the U.S.? It is! 45% of its population identify as Latino.

They play their games at the Stockton Arena in downtown with a large parking garage attached to the arena for easy access. This place is just fun. I am a hockey fan, so I enjoy the action on the ice. You can get really close to the action at a fairly low price here, although I prefer sitting a bit higher to see the whole rink. Tickets are fairly reasonable here, especially if you get packages. I can often walk up to the window right before a game and get good seats. Fan experiences here are really great. They have many theme nights including the famous Teddy Bear Toss and other fun promotions. The place is family friendly with lots of children in attendance and a good atmosphere, although fights on the ice are common and encouraged by the fans. Concessions can get a little pricy though. The Stockton Heat manage to create a great product year after year independent of the team's ability. I have seen them in bad years and in good, and minor league teams always suffer since the good players move up fast. Fortunately, I nearly always have a great time, and even a loss is somehow a win.

Told us he wouldn't ask us to move since we were in the seats our ticket indicated. He made sure to give us a good experience following a nasty incident with the fellow Heat guest.

Shoutout to Stockton, CA…read more Stockton is home to one of the oldest universities in the United States, the University of the Pacific (UOP) . The baseball team plays in the NCAA Division I, West Coast Conference. Klein Family Field is UOP's baseball stadium. The stadium is less than 8 minute drive off Interstate 5, West Alpine. The games are open to the public to attend. I try to attend a game or two each season. Other schools in their conference includes Gonzaga, Saint Mary's, and CSU Sacramento. Occasionally they play demo games against the Pac 12 schools such as UC Berkeley and Stanford. The Klein Family Field is a 2500 seat baseball stadium. The stadium has foldable individual seats which surprisingly are comfy. The admission is all general admission, first come first serve seating. Tickets can be bought online or at the box office on game day. Ticket pricing increased from last year by a third. Children (ages 5-12) is $10, seniors (60+ years) /staff/faculty $13, and adults $15. Parking on the weekends is free. But check before you go, as things may change. The field is beautifully maintained. Natural grass, looks full and green. But by golly, they do have to do more to maintain the entire infrastructure. The public women's restroom was in bad state from the start of the game. The toilets smelled of stale urine. The floors and stalls were dirty, and two of the three sinks automated water dispensers were broken. Hubs stated the men's restroom also smelled awful like backed up sewage.
