This was my first visit to the Long Beach Terrace Theater to see Joe Satriani and Steve Vai touring…read moretogether as the SatchVai band. The venue has its own multi-story parking lot which is very easy to access, and only charges $15. We arrived thirty minutes before the show, and there was no line to enter the parking lot with many parking spaces available. After a very short walk across the garage and going up a one-story staircase (there is also an elevator), we were on the ground level with the theater. Unfortunately, you have to walk all the way around the large fountain area to reach the security checkpoint and entrance. There was no line and we passed through quickly. Luckily, after the show, you could walk directly to the garage without having to go around again. The theater seats around 3,000 people and has floor, loge, and balcony sections. It is very clean and has a modern feel. The main lobby is spacious and has high ceilings. There are bars on all levels, and some basic food items downstairs. There were also a few food and drink spots in front outside. The concert hall has very high ceilings and is also very modern. We sat on the floor in the second row. The seats were padded and comfortable, and the spacing between adjacent seats and between rows was good. The view of the performers was amazing. There was a large projection screen behind the stage, with various video playing throughout the show. There was some fog on the stage, and the lighting was good, but nothing exceptional. Sitting so close is great for pictures and videos, and you're oblivious to the other 2,900 people in the theater. It almost feels like you're getting a private performance. However, the sound can be hit or miss depending on the performers' preferences and venue's audio setup. The main speaker arrays here hang directly over the first few rows in front of the stage. For the opening band, we couldn't hear any of the guitars at all. Joe played almost completely through his on-stage amps only and the sound was perfect. Steve's mix was half through his amps and half through the main speaker arrays. We could hear his guitar, but not nearly as well as Joe's. It's not the venues fault, the sound is usually optimized for the majority of the theater, and the first few rows may suffer. The opening band was Animals As Leaders. I've seen them a few times over the years as an opener for Steve Vai. They are an instrumental guitar focused band with the unique characteristic that both guitarists use eight-string guitars which gives them a unique sound. Joe Satriani and Steve Vai started out the main show together. They are two of the greatest rock guitar legends to ever play. They played a few original songs together that they co-wrote, followed by both individual and joint performances of a dozen of their popular songs. Steve's unique three-neck Hydra guitar made an appearance. There was also an encore with cover versions of Rock and Roll and Born to be Wild. I've seen Joe 25 times and Steve seven times, and I'll continue to go to every show when they are in town. In between the opening band and the main show, we immediately went to use the ground level restrooms which are downstairs. The lines were already extremely long. On a whim, we went upstairs and the restrooms on both sides initially had very short lines. After only five minutes, the upstairs lines also started to get long. Go upstairs fast and you should have a much shorter wait. The show was great and I really liked the venue. It's modern, clean, and comfortable, with various amenities. The sound mix was a mixed bag sitting in front, but it wasn't the venue's fault. If you want the best chance of a good sound mix, don't sit up front. Parking was very convenient and very affordable. I would definitely come see a show here again. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5.

The thing that stood out was the nice courtyard decor of water fountains. The vibe radiated as the fountains were sparkling, giving the ambiance of a fresh cool entertainment settimg. The outside really looks cool at night because of the lighting structure. I have been here many times before. Experiencing both indoor and outdoor venue entertainment. Just to name a few.. Jokoy, air supply, 90s old school R&B funk jam , Franki Valli and the list goes on. Its not very big inside, in comparison to Crypto or the inglewood forum but it does its job. Stadium seating could use some work if they decide to remodel in the future. Its a clean place with great acoustics. The only negative thing I have to say is the sale of alcoholic beverages! The venue shuts down completely early. Like 9pmsh! Unacceptable for an entertainment venue. I recommend watching concerts or any type of events in this area. Plenty of parking in the parking structure and surrounding businesses nearby. Long Beach is beautiful.

Had a chance to see my first Long Beach baseball game on a Wednesday night celebrating Filipino…read moreheritage night. It was a lot of fun, and our group of four had a great time. Blair Field was built in 1956, and has been the home of the Long Beach State 'Dirtbags' baseball team since 1993. The field was named after the sports editor of the local paper, who was a champion for the field to be built. After a significant contribution from a longtime supporter, the infield was named Bohl Diamond at Blair Field in 2017. The 'Dirtbags' are a college Division I baseball team, with some alumni that have done very well at the MLB level. Two of them have had parts of the stadium named after them (Tulowitzki Batting Facility and Weaver Bullpen). It has also been the home of the new professional Pioneer League baseball team, the Long Beach Coast (aka Regulators) since 2026 (this game was part of the inaugural season). The Pioneer League is an independent league (not directly tied to MLB team), but is an official MLB partner league, and consists of 12 teams across the Western U.S. The opponent tonight were the Missoula Paddleheads, coming all the way from Missoula, Montana. The stadium seats 3,238 fans, with some distinct sections. The most expensive are the Backstop Club, 6 boxes of 2 rows of 3, right behind home plate, costing $48.36. Behind those are HomePlate Reserved, $27.20. The field box seats consist of 2 rows of 3, closest to the field on both the first and third base lines, and cost $43.07. Behind those are Baseline Reserved for $19.79. All of these have individual, numbered chairs. The rest are bleachers (metal seats with no dividers between seats). The Bleacher Reserved are just behind the HomePlate Reserved, with metal benches as seats (bringing seat cushions isn't a bad idea), but having seatbacks. They were 50% off this Tuesday (normally $20.54 but $10.27 tonight), and those were the 4 that I purchased via their dedicated website. Tickets were delivered via an email, and were easy to transfer to my Apple Wallet for easy scanning. General Admission seats behind the Baseline Reserved were just $2 tonight (normally $16.62). This is the way to go. Season ticket holders have some advantages in that they gain entry to the stadium parking lot (single game have to park on the street around the area), and are allowed to enter the stadium early (others have to wait till 1 hour before game time). Thus we waited till 5:35, at which point they let us in. First was a security check (no backpacks allowed), a metal detector. Then a scan of your ticket. Once entered, we noticed a lot of Filipino themed food vendors. Foodologie, Gemmae, and Teofilo Coffee were all there. The smell of fried Shanghai-style lumpia was pretty prevalent throughout the night. It made us happy to see this Filipino staple being shared by baseball fans while watching the game. Before the start of the game, there were two performances of traditional Filipino dances, the presentation of Filipino beauty queens, the throwing out of the first pitch by a prominent Filipino community leader, and the singing of the national anthems (Filipino and United States), both by two different Filipino singers. As one can imagine, the three Filipinas sitting next to me were very happy. As for the game itself, the Coast lost 1-3 this night, with the game lasting about 2.5 hours. It definitely exceeded my expectations. Plus our neighbor made it big by appearing on the "jumbotron" TWICE, with her dancing (that's when I understood why she wanted to be sitting on the aisle). She was chosen 'fan of the game' and got two complementary tickets for a future ball game. Some negatives were the poor announcing of what was happening during the game by the PA, and with the really, really small display of the current balls/strikes/outs on the jumbotron. There was a long delay (seemed like 10 minutes, though probably shorter) at the bottom of the 8th inning, when the game just stopped for apparently no reason...the players stayed on the field, but the umpiring crew of three just wouldn't let the game continue. The PA system started time filling events as if it was between innings to keep the fans pre-occupied, so they must have known what was going on. But the baseball fans didn't...finally, we got irritated enough to start chanting 'Let's play ball...Let's play ball'. That got the umpires attention, as if it was the first time he noticed that there were fans waiting. Baseball is a game of hand signals, and I had no clue what the crew chief signaled to the press box when the game restarted. I was expecting an explanation from the PA, but nada...the game continued as if the delay was normal. But the views and atmosphere was good enough for all four of us to want to stay for the entire game. Plus got to see a 95 mph fastball from behind home plate. It wasn't too difficult to leave the parking lot, and we got home in under 30 minutes.

Our game had a drone show for the 4th and the team won by a ton

There is a grass field adjacent that you can also run on as well as some good bleachers to do steps.

There were a few bits of litter ... and guess what? I picked them up so I don't have to see them again! Respect the place your using for free or it will disappear. You could jog past a piece of litter for laps/miles and then go home write negative reviews on yelp for 15 minutes whining about it, or you could pick it up in 5 seconds and do your part, jeez. No poop when I was there, but I'd pick that up too. No potholes either but you could fill those yourself too, the track is wide.

Checking out this newer venue for a concert. Started off with parking in the large structure…read moreacross the street that was pretty easy to get in/out of. The rate was $70 per car. The lot had a walkway over the street to the venue enterance. As we were walking over the bridge, we had a nice full view of the dome all lit up. It's a nice looking venue. The outside is beautiful and the inside is equally well designed. We were there for a concert, sitting in the top section. For a large stadium venue, the acoustics were great! I also really liked the lights on the seat arm rests that lit up and changed colors with the music. As great as the concert was, the venue logistics were a mess. There were multiple lines to get inside, yet no line was marked and they all blended together. After standing in a line for over 25 minutes, an employee came by making us get in a single file line. Of course, my toes were getting stepped on as people were squeezing in. Then we get to the front of the line to be notified it was the intuit clearance line which you use the app for. None of us had the app, so we had to move to another line where we could enter by scanning our tickets. Another 15+ plus mins in line 2. No one directing us, no signs, no ropes to mark different lines, but yet tons of employees standing around talking. Once inside, we were hoping to get food, but it was so complicated. Apps needed, you can only enter turn styles once food was paid for to pick up order. So, we took the easy way out and just spent way to much money on drinks, water and super salty popcorn since we could order at the counter. Nice venue, but everything else felt complicated. I would like to attend a sporting event here, but won't be in a huge rush to return. Plan extra time for all the confusion.

I had a blast and was filled with joy and gratitude to be surrounded by such a beautiful crowd, all sharing the same love for Kehlani's music and her bonus surprises. We poured our hearts out...it was healing. I was also very appreciative of my view from my seat level. A reward to keep forevaaa! The lighting, sounds levels and energy from the crowd created the perfect thrill. An acknowledgement for the production and operations staff for working hard behind the scenes. The navigating wasn't hectic. The staff were helpful in guiding me as it was my first time at this venue. Im so looking forward to more experiences here...concerts, sports, live events, you name it.

I could only imagine how it is during peak periods. Food was good as expected. Pricing was high. Ordered 3 pretzel strips the size of an Iphone Pro Max at $18 with cheese sauce at $3 extra. Also, ordered regular fries. Total was $38. Complimentary water to drink. I did notice a water refill station on 2nd level so this begs the question, can we bring an empty water bottle? My seats for the "It" experience were perfect. However, my neck felt a tad stiff after 2 hours. While seats are comfortable. I wish they reclined for better comfort. For viewing and feeling immersed in movie, these seats are perfect. Seats 9 & 10 would put you smack in middle. I'd aim for those, but this arrangement was perfect and right next to middle. My partner and I sat in: Section: Dome Sub Sec: Left Level: 2 Row: B Booth: 2D Seats: 7 & 8 At first it was hard to not compare it to the Sphere which I've gone and saw Wizard of Oz but quickly learned this is anything like the Sphere in Vegas and possibly better, honestly.

Be prepared to spend some money because it isnt cheap. $17.50 per person for seats in the happ because I couldnt see myself paying the about $150 to see the game in the dome.its a great view but the price is crazy. Speaking of crazy I was considering getting a burger but it was $24 and that the burger alone. Fries were $14, thats unheard of. It was bad enough my beer was $18, thats high. I smacked on some nachos, i think they were $12. You know you can get a whole bag for like 4 or 5 bucks right? I didnt like the dj, he just literally played songs. I had a decent time. I missed my regular bar. If i drink the same beer at my regular bar it is $11. Here that same beer $18 and I had 3 of them. Maybe when I hit the lottery ill come back.

Sound is great, security check is an easy process, and sections are simple to find. But I noticed that the restrooms inside are cleaner than the ones outside before the entrance. A big downside is parking. It's ridiculously expensive and leaving after an event is a total clusterfuck. We use SpotHero to reserve a parking few blocks away which has worked better for us. Food and drinks are also overpriced and mid, so we always eat beforehand.

Whether it's team training, classes, individual sessions, or one-on-ones with pitching and hitting coaches, the experience has always been exceptional.

They go beyond mechanics to teach the mental side of the game, helping players build focus, confidence, and resilience. That mental edge is just as important as skill, and it's something they truly prioritize. Customer service is always top-notch, and I can count on timely follow-up and clear communication whenever I have questions.
