The things we do for our kids. We got the very last row of discounted seats and they were actually not bad. I like the fact no one was behind me. See pictures. Concerts especially with a pit = Approximately 19k people. Basketball games = 17,608 people Ambiance - A crazy busy venue. Well, it was sold out. Concerts especially with a pit = Approximately 19k people which still does NOT feel fire safe. Basketball games = 17,608 people. Almost 780k sq ft. Sacramento Kings home court. Parking = $20-100 for events. Plenty of street metered parking for $25, only 2 blocks away. If you preorder your parking, you can get it for $22. Decent amounts of food and drink options. Service - Security was smooth. Long lines but quick. Ushers were friendly. The men's room had an attendant, so clean. But mostly everything is self service. Glad someone opened the emergency exits, because thousands of people waiting to go down an escalator would have taken us over an hour! Price - Depending on your seats. My daughter waited until the last second and got discounted seats + parking, dinner, gas, toll, etc. totalled $200 for our father daughter date. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 2016. Even after 10 years of success, your arena still looks new.

Went 2x recently, for the Sacramento Kings Draft Party, and day 1 of the Summer League…read more Located downtown Sacramento, there are plenty of options for parking, most are parking garages within short walking distance, or there is some metered parking that may require a little longer and more adventurous walk to stadium. There is a strict bag policy so be sure to read up on it if you are taking in an event so as not to delay your entry. Going through security is easy enough, voth security. And the ticket scanner/door workers are always pleasant and efficient in processing you into the arena. Both the draft party, and summer league were informal, so most tickets were general admission and your were free to sit almost anywhere(barring the first 3 or 4 rows). (The draft party initially only had 5-7 sections open , but as the crowd grew closer to draft, more sections were opened . There were a few basic concessions open, for water, beer, hot dogs, chicken fingers, pizza, and a few of the other stands. Not all concessions that are normally open for concerts or regular season games were open, but was able to get chicken strips that were pretty good in quantity, and quality with fries and a beer. All in all, was a fun time, and a nice arena.

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.

There is also a large parking garage next to the arena that I believe is theirs and the walk from the garage to the arena is a pretty short walk. The seats are standard, with plenty of room in the aisles and I liked our seats at the Jo Koy show, which were in the last row of our lower-level section but had a big space at the end of the row next to the wall, where you can set down bags or extra stuff. The food is decent, standard arena food and gets the job done. Thanks!

Walked around and it was weird they had folding tables out along the corridor downstairs and upstairs selling drinks. I guess it helps alleviate long lines, but give them a booth or something. Before the concert is over, if you've stopped selling drinks, put the folding tables away so there's more room for people to walk and exit. I did like how the parking was right next to the venue, but $25 is pretty steep. Won't be coming back here for a concert.

Lots of roaming security and cameras, so all good. Parking was $20. I booked through the Oldymeyer recreation program and got dropped off and picked up, by the recreation van. Thank you, Roman! We paid $20 for the adventure. I heard, there were end of season and other discounts, but all good here. Lots of young families and children, in attendance. Very cute to see the fans. Our second row, middle field seats, were perfect to watch the game. Food like loaded bake potatoes, bags of popcorn, and deep fried snacks were all available, at the many concession stands. Beer and beverages are available, too: but all items must be purchased on site. You are not allowed, to bring any such items in with you. Dress in layers, because the fog came in and was damp. The 2 hour game was fabulous, even though our team lost. The big screen monitor did replays, on goal shots and such. My first, but not last, visit here! Enjoy!

My husband lives and breathes this team ( he has missed a couple family functions/parties to watch home games). The stadium is absolutely beautiful. We get beautiful and chilly sunsets bring blankets or a jacket or better yet buy some of the swag at the store. There is no bad seat in the house. This stadium is family friendly which I love. We welcome our visiting opponents with open arms and smiles. Super Fan is a staple of our club. Just look for his smiley face greeting all the passerby's. The chants are catchy and we are making more as we get situated. We welcome suggestions from all. The club owners Frank Yallop, Ray Beshoff and their leadership team has listened and addressed the concerns of the supports/fans and visitors. The upscale portapotties and live music are amazing. The stadium is open 2 hours before each game since tailgating is prohibited. If there is a band or live music it opens 3 hours before. Stadium food has stadium prices. Try the churros, nachos, potatoes and Tri tip sandwiches. Those are my favorites but all is good. The hot chocolate/coffee and tea stand outside is nice but a warning if you buy during half time go before the buzzer, I waited literally 30 minutes and missed most of the second half waiting in line and for my order. Alvarado brewery sells hot chit chocolate but not during that one game which I was sad. On a cold day.. a cold beer just does not cut it. Alvarado brewery has some good beer great selections try the mai tai if you like sours. To all that is visiting or just interested in soccer check out this stadium. You won't regret it!

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!

Thank you for your honesty and kindness. God bless you all. We need more people like y'all in this world!

Levi's Stadium is the latest stadium in the Bay Area. I've watched the 49ers play, the San Jose…read moreEarthquakes' first game, and several concerts. In the beginning, the security and parking were awful, but during my most recent visits for concerts, it was a breeze going through security (of course ensuring that all guidelines were met) and scanning my tickets. The staff were friendly and wished my group a good time and that the concert was about to start and we didn't miss anything. There is a variety of food stands to choose from; however, it would be better if they offered a few other types rather than the standard hot dog/fries/tenders booths. Pricing is okay, not great, but it's within the "new normal" range in the Bay Area. The bathrooms are relatively clean and toilets have automatic flushing. While there may be a long line out the door, just know that there are a lot of stalls inside the restroom and it actually goes by pretty quickly. If you're planning to visit Levi's for an event, make sure you know where to park and plan your travel accordingly as freeways and streets get congested and slow. Overall, Santa Clara does a decent job of handling the traffic on the streets than when they first opened so the flow moves pretty well. If you can park further away and walk, that will save you a lot of money. Lastly, if you are attending a concert in the evening or watching a game, bring a light jacket or sweatshirt as it can get windy/breezy within the stadium seats.

REVIEWER # 2 Want to…read morefill like a big kid again? If so, you have to check out Circus Vargas! This was my first time at Circus Vargas and I have to say I would definitely go again if I could! I was totally amazed at this performance! If you haven't been, you truly do not know what you are missing. Parking was free which was a great plus! I found tickets off Groupon and paid $16 for bleacher seating. It was $22 for arena seating but to be honest I was as close as I wanted to be. There were some incredible performances such as the motorcycle in cage, juggling and the acts like the illusions. The performance was totally age appropriate. I heard a family near me state that they thought there was going to be animals and I was surprised not to see any as well but the performance definitely made up for it. I could definitely tell that the performers and entertainers really worked their butts off to make this a great entertaining show. I didn't see any mistakes or mess ups. The entertainers are VERY talented and you can truly see that they love their job and take pride in their performances. FOOD: They do serve popcorn and cotton candy. The prices seemed a little steep for me but I expected that. Cotton Candy was $5 and the small popcorn is $6 and Hot Dogs for $6. They also have pictures that you can take with the performers which cost $15 and although this didn't seem like a big hit, I thought it was a great idea. The show started at 7:30PM and ended at 9PM with a 15 minute break at 8:20PM. I personally had a great time and would definitely do this again if I had the opportunity. If you have children this is perfect for you and the family. However, even going as a big kid, I had a great time! GREAT JOB CIRCUS VARGAS!!! REVIEWER 141/196

It is on the bigger side so if you are sitting at the top (200 section) unless the artist has 360 views, no obstruction, most often you will have obstructed views. One thing I wish would change was how knowledgeable workers are on where things are located, guiding people and also exiting the venue tends to be a problem often due to traffic jamming since there's one main exit point. Overall I do like coming here for events, I prefer it over going to San Jose for sure.
