I visited Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, CA [4900 Marie P DeBartolo Way] on Tuesday, 09/01/26. I…read morecame here because of the R&B Tour, to see Chris Brown and Usher perform in concert. Of course, the entire event was unforgettable and will forever be in the book of memories. To prepare for this concert, I followed the suggested advisory of arriving early to the premises. Since parking lots started to open up to the public at 4pm, I showed up at that time and it was not congested getting a parking space whatsoever. I paid for parking in advance on Ticketmaster, which was a whopping $94. Even though my space was close and in front of the stadium, it was a VERY steep price point. This is the most I ever paid for parking at a concert to date. I just kept thinking about the positive, which was the convenience and close proximity. I patiently waited in the vehicle until 5:30pm, when it was ideal to line up in front of the stadium (opened to the public at 6pm). At the security checkpoint, protocol needed to be followed, including the clear bag policy! Thankfully, I brought my clear tote bag to include of my belongings inside. After walking inside successfully, I had to ask event staff several times to direct me to my seat because of how gigantic the stadium was. They were very friendly and kind, which was nice. Food, of course, was astronomically high and limited in options. I proceeded to go with a total of two small beef hotdogs ($10 each). The condiment station was readily available near food counters, including ketchup, mustard, relish, etc. The hot dog quality wasn't the greatest, however, it was still edible enough to consume. There were moments where it did feel super windy and cold, especially with the stadium being all in open air. Be sure to bring a sweater/coat/jacket, just in case. I made the decision to leave the concert a little early to beat all of the outgoing traffic. I was able to go in a breeze. I don't normally visit Levi's Stadium due to the overwhelmingly large attendance. However, I know that it's best to avoid congestion and delays when arriving extremely early and leaving the event early, too. I'll only come back to this venue if this is my ONLY option; not exactly my top choice for events due to the massive crowd and significant expenses incurred.

We bought tickets for something we had waited over 10 years to see. It was a special night to come together as a couple. Something that life hadn't allowed us the last 6 years due to care giving and hardships. It was a VERY IMPORTANT night for us. When we got to our seating, there was only 1 seat for the 2 of us. We were shuffled around trying to get an answer as to WHERE our seats were, they had forgotten to put the second chair.... and then the concert started. We missed the first song and we were starting to stress. Wendy stepped in and calmly, confidently, took us to 2 wonderful seats with a GREAT VIEW while she worked to fix the seating. She promised she would come back for us, and true to her word, she came back. But we were happy as a bug in a rug where she had placed us so she let us stay. Wendy, I just want you to know... you made 2 very exhausted, drained people VERY HAPPY. Thank you SOOOOOOOO MUCH for your knowledge and compassion on 2 old, worn out people. You are VERY VALUABLE

Located in San Jose, California, I came here for a work event and had such a great time with my son. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. One of the highlights was when they caught a ball from the outfield and handed it to my son--it was such a special moment and something he'll remember! The ballpark is a great place to bring children, with affordable tickets and fun activities for kids before the game even starts. The churros were also amazing, fresh, and definitely worth trying! I also tried the BBQ tri-tip, but unfortunately it was very dry and wasn't my favorite. Overall, the atmosphere, friendly staff, kid-friendly activities, and affordable tickets make this a great family outing. Highly recommend checking it out!

We got searched and tickets scanned. For a few dollars, you can practice pitching and hang out in the bounce house. Concession are standard except for the garlic fries and the churros. My goodness, the churro is FRESHLY FRIED! None of that frozen stuff heated in the toaster. These churros were fried! The best part? It was only $5!!! The stadium experience was great! Friendly crowds. The firework show are at the end of the night? Impressive! It blew my expectations away! Definitely worth it if you like baseball and want a fireworks show! We were really happy with our 4th of July experience here!

Some of my favorite memories at the Event Center include watching Zedd, David Guetta, Kelly Clarkson and even Onerepublic. Pretty much every event I have been to at the Event Center has been really great and so memorable. I love how intimate the Event Center is and it's easy to go from seats to the floor, effortlessly.

HP Pavilion (7:30 p.m.): My dad and I went to the game on Saturday (San Jose played the Utah Blaze). It was at least the 6th SaberCats game that I've been to. As usual, we saved money by parking nearby (it's interesting how many houses are just across the street from HP Pavilion- a house a block away is now up for sale). When we arrived, my dad let himself be frisked. It was comical (he just walked over to one of the guys and raised his arms- I briefly wondered if he had done something in the past that I was unaware of). I had about as many items on me, but just walked right up to the doors. The edges of the main stairs currently feature some cool images of the San Jose Sharks (it's sad that they just got eliminated from the playoffs). We had great seats (we were 10 rows back, and were only blocked off from seeing kicks go through the left uprights), and our tickets were just $9 each (my dad took advantage of a promotion). The guy to my left was annoying (he went to the game with his dad too, and I wish his dad had been sitting next to me). He had some booming claps (he almost made me go deaf), and he was too wound up early on (he clapped over every little thing). Only 2 vendors were around (I'm glad that we weren't hungry- only a few kiosks were open too). One sold cotton candy, and the other sold Dippin' Dots (Banana; Chocolate; Rainbow). I was tempted to buy some, but didn't. The woman who sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" was pretty fine. She also had a beautiful voice (I actually noticed). T&A: "Stop teasing me!" (what a guy behind us kept saying to the young woman who goes out on the field to signal the beginning and end of commercial breaks). The woman is "too skinny" for my dad's taste, and I think the woman the current one replaced was hotter. It's cute, though, the way the new woman dances. You can tell that she has a lot of fun during games (the other woman was more serious). The SaberKittens were also standing very close to us, but I didn't actually look at them much. With a few exceptions, the women aren't that hot this year. The Kiss Cam action kind of sucked. Too many old couples were featured, and this one guy was clueless as to what he was supposed to do until the camera started to cut away. A ton of penalties were called. This guy and his sons couldn't make up their minds: "Hey refs! You suck!" "Hey refs! You're great!" o_O A Utah wide receiver made a "flying catch over the boards," and another one went over the boards a few minutes later. It was also memorable when San Jose defensive back Clevan Thomas made a 50-yard interception return for a touchdown in the 3rd quarter. The SaberCats normally draw over 10,000 fans (the attendance on Saturday was 8,438). Still, it often got very loud inside. Some fans also did some crazy dances. A few guys even took off their shirts ("No, no. Put your shirts back on. Please."). I kind of agree with another reviewer ("no more cowbell!"). I'm used to it, but some fans bring cowbells and ring them too fuc---- much. You might think that you're at a farm. Free!: The SaberCats have always treated their fans well. This is what was given away during the game: -3 footballs (fans get to keep balls that wind up in the stands). A guy at the end of our row caught the ball that was thrown away at the end of the game. -A whole row got Lillie Mae's "famous" BBQ sauce. -Another row got Buffalo Wild Wings (I think this occurred when a guy threw a football between the uprights- he had 2 tries, but was good in his 1st attempt). -Another row got Round Table Pizza. -Yet another got In-N-Out food (in most cases, vouchers are given out only). The crowd went crazy, by the way, when the logo was flashed. -As usual, some T-shirts were shot or launched into the stands. -5,000 fans got a Program/Green Night Reusable Shopping Bag (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/san-jose-sabercats-san-jose?select=1VBDoLhLt0EYFkHTGFJitQ#yAaOuPNkLRMGMNuEwLf6oQ). Some pictures from 3 fans that were posted online during the game were shown on the scoreboard. I think the last fan won a spa treatment. Halftime: 4 teams of 7-year-olds played flag football. The action was hard to follow (the announcer had to keep turning his attention from one side of the field to the other), but kind of exciting. Only 1 girl played, but she actually scored a touchdown. :) http://www.thesanjosesabercats.com/news_details.php?id=540: The SaberCats almost gave me a heart attack (the game was finally decided with 11 seconds left to play, and San Jose only scored on 4 of their 9 possessions- this is pitiful for an Arena Football team), but they beat the Blaze 35-34.

Also the San Jose earthquakes ii don't have signs posted at street, you follow San Jose state sings . it is not until you find canopy at gate where you realize that you are at right place. The vendor also doesn't sell coffee hope we are allowed to bring our own? My friend is sober so we didn't buy beer. Good to know it is offered tho. Game wasn't empty but it wasn't full either. Now if the quakes want more people attending their reserves team here it would perhaps be nice to offer promos at your local libraries, grocery stores or schools. I have seen the San Jose giants (the neighbors) do this in the past. Cool to watch soccer from this perspective, still needs attention to detail 4.2/5

They are one of the original mls teams from the beginning in the 90s. Chris Wondolowski is the legendary local player. The stadium is open and modern with food trucks, open air bar and a great atmosphere. The fans are passionate and make the environment fun. It's a family friendly environment. Tickets are reasonable for sports games. The reason I give 3 stars is because the owners and management have turned this team into one of the worst in the league. The owners refuse to keep up with investment in players like other teams. It makes being a supportive fan very difficult. The good news is that they recently fired the awful general manager and things will hopefully improve.

The San Jose Earthquakes are one of the original nine MLS members that began play in 1996. Over…read morethat time, the Quakes have qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs nine times and won two of them (2001 and 2003). In addition to those two championships, the team was very successful in the early 2000s, making the playoffs five straight years from 2001 to 2005. Probably the most well-known person to play for the Quakes is retired American soccer star Landon Donovan. The MLS MVP award is named after him after all. Donovan won a record six MLS Cups during his playing career. He was a member of both the 2001 and 2003 San Jose championship teams. While he was the team's top goalscorer in 2003 (12 goals), Salvadoran striker Ronald Cerritos was actually the team's top scorer in 2001 (11 goals). In 2001, Quakes coach Frank Yallop was named MLS Coach of the Year and players Jeff Agoos and Troy Dayak won the Defender of the Year and Comeback Player of the Year awards, respectively. In 2003, Quakes goalkeeper Pat Onstad was the league's Goalkeeper of the Year. Due to a combination of stadium, ownership, trademark, and other related issues, the San Jose Earthquakes were inactive for the 2006 and 2007 seasons. The team really hasn't been the same since, failing to qualify for the playoffs most years. Over the past decade, San Jose has routinely finished sixth or worst in the Western Conference. On the bright side, the Earthquakes are one of only a handful of MLS teams to win the MLS Cup multiple times. They've also won the Supporters' Shield twice for having the best regular season record in 2005 and 2012. San Jose is currently led by All-Star veteran forward Chris Wondolowski whose present stint with the team began in 2009. Wondolowski led the league in scoring two times (2010, 2012) and was MVP in 2012. He is, by far, the franchise's all-time leader in games played and goals scored. His records would be even greater if his stats from his time with the Houston Dynamo (2006-2009) somehow counted, but that is another story.
