The…read moretickets were affordable, and I was able to sit close enough to take close-up shots, but not close enough to smell their sweat. The skaters delivered a spectacular performance, with Alyssa Lui as the main star of the show. My favorite performances include Alyssa reenacting her Olympic performances; Glenn, Levito, and Alyssa dancing to "Golden" from Demon Hunters; and Illia dancing to Eminem's "8-Mile". The bathrooms were clean, and the audience was respectful and mindful of others. I'm sad that they didn't perform a second show in Northern California. 10/10!!!!!!

This arena and I have a pretty long term relationship.Ive been to so many events here over the…read moreyears since they opened in 1993-I am pretty sure I went to a San Jose Sharks game that inaugural season back in 93 when I was a young 20 years old. Over the years I've seen multiple Sharks games-many concerts here,I've been to March Madness multiple times at this arena but my favorite events at this arena is probably the multiple times I watched UFC live at SAP Center,followed closely by the now defunct StrikeForce MMA fights that used to have shows at this great venue. Of course being that I live in the Sacramento area now as opposed when I lived in the East Bay,the trips take a bit more planning and usually involve an overnight stay at one of the many great hotels in the area but that doesn't actually make the events at this event any less fun,in fact it enhances them. One of the true beauties of this arena is the way the city has built up the area around the arena-just a short walk away there are a plethora of incredible restaurants and bars that are great to enjoy either before or after events depending on the day of the week-I will admit I may have had to carry the wifey out of the Old Wagon Saloon after indulging a bit too much after a great event at the Sap Center-my point being-so many great options in the area for entertainment both post and pre events at this arena. As with every arena,traffic and parking are quite the challenge here-there is onsite parking but it is extremely pricey-I always find using light rail to get in and out of events at this arena is still the best value in the game. Inside the arena,it's been very well maintained and is very modern for an arena that is almost 33 years old-bathrooms are super convenient and generally always clean. The staff have always been extremely helpful and were definitely helpful when I first learned about hockey etiquette-I will always appreciate them for that. Food at this stadium is plentiful-though there is still stadium pricing so that's to be expected-Beer pricing is nothing unique-very standard but they do have some cool options,my last trip I picked up a hockey stick that I could drink my beer out of-I love that thing. In closing-If you ever find yourself with an event that is going to take place at this arena-I would not hesitate to go to this arena and enjoy yourself-it's a world class venue and I'm sure you will have a great time.....even if the Sharks lose

Amazing stadium!…read more Great views from every seat ... large bar in the middle.. and plenty of food options. There are plenty of restrooms so hardly any wait... which is great for more drinking!! Lots of parking - but getting in and out can be very cumbersome. ALSO, if using ride share... there are ZERO signs on where to go, we had to keep asking the staff. They were very friendly in directing us to the pick up spot... but I think proper signage would be most helpful. Would I go back? Yes... go Earthquakes!!!

By the way we won the game!

Apparently the BBQ ribs were tasty, albeit a gigantic portion perfect for sharing. There is assigned seating although most people seemed to have opted to spread out.

It was surprisingly easy to find our section and seats, which made the whole experience even smoother. Once we got to our seats, the views were awesome -- definitely one of those moments where you just stop and take it all in. The drinks were a little pricey, but that's pretty expected at a huge event like the Super Bowl. On the plus side, the food was actually really good, which made up for it. Overall, it was such a fun experience and an unforgettable atmosphere. Definitely a game I'll never forget!

From the outside, the place looks like a modern fortress built for football royalty steel, glass, banners snapping in the wind. Fans in scarlet jerseys circle the stadium like prospectors chasing gold, laughing, grilling, chanting "Niners! Niners!" It's part tailgate, part carnival, part time machine back to Montana, Rice, and the glory days history humming in every step, rhyme in every chime, red and gold bold. Step inside and BOOM the lights hit you like a halftime drumline to the chest. The field glows emerald bright while the stands explode in waves of red, the crowd roaring like a coastal storm. The sound system pounds, the Faithful get loud, and everywhere you turn there's something cooking: garlic fries sizzling, barbecue smoking, craft beer flowing like a victory parade. It's lights, bites, and fight-night vibes the kind of place where every cheer rhymes with "touchdown time," and every play makes the whole stadium shake like an earthquake highlight. And man, when the game kicks off, nostalgia hits like a blitz. The chants rise, the lights flash, and the crowd moves as one roaring sea of red and gold energy. It's football theater, comedy, chaos the kind of electric madness that would make even a stand-up comic shout, "THIS IS INSANE!" You don't just watch a game here... you ride the wave, you shout till you're hoarse, you leave smiling like you struck gold in the end zone. Bang Bang Niner Gang. Five stars, no doubt.

I am quite surprised there's barely any reviews for the San Jose State Event Center. I have been…read moregoing to the San Jose Event Center for so many events for many years now including my own graduation there. 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. But the downsides are the bathrooms which is not enough, dirty and the food options are terrible. I don't even remember what kind of food they offer there and the lines are always too long. I can't wait for my next event at the San Jose State Event Center.

San Jose State University versus Boise State University. We were lucky to get tickets from my friend's son. There were 21K+ people at the game. It was freezing cold. I am thankful I had a beanie and my Ugg boots and jacket to keep me warm. I also remembered to bring a seat cushion for my seat on the bleachers. Overall, I had a good experience watching a college football game for the first time. The only down side was the parking was full. My friend told me in time so I end up taking uber there instead so I don't have to worry about parking. Then finding the will call ticket was a challenge. I didn't know the will call tickets were right where the ticket booth was. They should add Will Call to the Ticket Booth sign. Just took some time to find the will call to get my ticket. Overall, if you come during the winter, make sure to dress warm and bring transparent bag. It's a good stadium to watch a football game.

I've been to many earthquakes games over the last ten years. I also watch almost every game on tv…read more It's the local professional soccer team in the Bay Area. 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.

Before the show started, people in reserved seating were given colored papers to put over our phone flashlights as part of the opening moment, and everyone around me was participating. Despite this, a woman sitting in the row in front of me (not even directly in front) snapped at me to turn my light off, even though it was clearly part of the show and everyone had their lights on. It was unnecessary and made the experience uncomfortable for no reason. I wish staff or ushers were more proactive in setting expectations or stepping in when guests are rude over things that are clearly allowed. The venue itself is great and has some good food options, but moments like that can really take you out of the experience.
