From the moment we walked in, security, vendors, volunteers, staff are friendly and helpful and just a joy to chat with! I had lost my Jameson hat in night one, reached out just in case it had been found and shortly after I emailes I received a reply back that they would keep an eye out for it. While getting ready for night two I received another email that they had found my hat! The fact that they even got back to me to begin with meant a lot but that the response time was so quick, just plain great customer service! I got a chance to talk with quite a few of the staff and they were all personable and it was a pleasure chatting with them The venue itself is great too. Not a bad seat in the house and the sound is really good. Think a smaller scale Hollywood Bowl style theater. Lots of fun events coming so make sure you check them out. Whether a date night or family outing you'll have fun! I worked at UCSD for 16 years (been gone for 9 years now) and bummed the theater wasn't there then but happy to go back now and see some awesome shows, movies, and live music!

Their meals are designed with the goal of being under 595 calories per dish, and they offer a very strong wine selection. THE FOOD & WINE * Filet & Flight Special ($52): We opted for the 8 oz filet mignon upgrade, which was tender and well-prepared, served alongside creamy mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and asparagus. This paired smoothly with a flight of Joe Wagner red wines (Pinot Noir, Red Blend, and Cabernet Sauvignon) and finished with one of their signature mini indulgence desserts. * Sesame Grilled Salmon Salad: The salmon was juicy with a balanced glaze that was not too sweet, allowing the fresh taste of the fish to stand out. The fresh greens, crunchy jicama, and grilled pineapple were excellent, textural complements to the fish. * Caymus Wine Flight: We also ordered the Caymus flight, which featured a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, a Pinot Noir, and their signature Cabernet Sauvignon. THE SERVICE & AMBIANCE Our server, Sarah, was friendly and attentive. She was professional and provided solid food and dessert recommendations. This Seasons 52 location offers a large bar and an indoor dining area accented by rich woods.

There is a ticket fee for all non students. The small arena has a large screen scoreboard that is paired up with a loud sound system for music. It's very entertaining and fun during the breaks. They have a "block party" for every UCSD block and the staff throws free t shirts into the stands. There is one small snack stand for sodas, nachos, pretzels and typical sports food. It was staffed with two people. There is no beer or wine served here so get ready for Gatorade. The arena is a nice volleyball venue where 200-300 spectators watched the game very comfortably. It was fun with music and the great announcer.

Eh. I've never…read morereally been a fan of seeing shows at Rimac Arena. I mean, when you wanna check out a hot show and you're REALLY excited about it... it's hard to get upset about the venue. You just wanna catch the performance. This was the case last night for the big Flight of the Conchords show at UCSD. Been wanting to see those cats for years, and finally, they brought their tour through San Diego. The show could have been at the Miramar Landfill for all I cared... I just wanted to see the best musical comedy duo since Tenacious D up close and personal, and it happened to be on this particular college campus. The show was great, but I despise the layout of Rimac. It's primarily used to house the UCSD basketball teams (both men and women), and it doubles as a large concert venue for bands and artists with a big draw. Unfortunately, the space yields some terrible acoustics. I don't think shows were necessarily top of mind during construction of this venue, and it's apparent by the vast amount of metal pillars and various other adornments that cause the sound to bounce all over the place. I think they could spend some of that trust fund loot to throw some egg crates on the walls to absorb the sound, but that's just me. You know when you see a show in a gymnasium, and for a moment, you totally forget that you're in some sweaty sports venue? Well, that's not the case here. You're well aware that you're in a basketball arena, for sure. You really have to commend the staff at UCSD for doing so many great things for the students enrolled here, though. Seems like they have a different music festival going on every month (Sungod, for example). However, I just wish they could warm up the arena somehow. It'd be like doing yoga in the middle of Time's Square. Sure, the yoga would awesome... but it'd be really tough to get the full experience because you're in the middle of a bustling intersection. Like that yoga comparison, it's hard to fully get into 'show mode' here. But coming full circle, sometimes you have to make sacrifices to see some of your favorite bands. It's unfortunate that our city doesn't have more 'real' music venues in town for an act of this caliber. Uncomfortable bench seating in a college sports hall hardly does the trick for me.
