Very easy to go in and out, not as strict as large volume places like the Memorial or the pavilion. Sometimes games are paid some are not, bot sure what is determined by this. A basic ticket stand and a stand of some merch and food; give you the basics. There are bathrooms available inside. Enjoy the art-deco architecture. It opened in 1932. and named after a mathematician professor George C. Edwards. One can really sit anywhere as nothing is assigned but on a hot sunny day go for the top or the press seating. It's all wide open. The views are splendid with the campanile, the Big C, and southside; truly a 180-degree view. Food and drinks are permitted and nobody said anything even though the rules were posted. Love coming back as an alumnus to support my alma mater.

They shoot fire from the top of the basketball nets (and you really can feel the heat!). I didn't get any concessions, but workers do walk around with items so you don't need to leave your seat. They're still quite pricey based on what I overheard, so don't think you'll get cheap snacks/drinks just because you're at a college game.

This is my kind of theater…read more The seats are comfortable, it's pretty small, it shows independent films, the interior is pretty cool. You can get snacks, but of course they are expensive. Maybe opt for one of the restaurants within a stone's throw? There is no parking, but street parking is fine-I found a spot on the same block.

I'll give it to the Elmwood, achieving their tier of hypocrisy is no small accomplishment…read more We went to a National Theatre Live screening of Hamlet on Jan 22. Here are two of the preview videos that were run before the show: Preview #1: Rialto Cinemas promo featuring a clip of Sean Baker's Oscar speech in which he advocates for movie studios to continue producing and releasing films specifically for live cinema, because contemporary American society is heavily divided, and going to the movies in a theater alongside other people in one's community helps push back against that divide by bringing people together in a shared experience. Preview #2: Land acknowledgment showing the theater's own public affiliation to one hotly contested political extreme, making some audience members feel allied in tribal loyalty to the theater, while other audience members feel alienated and outraged before they even get to the main attraction. Which one is it, Rialto Cinemas? Are you trying to bring people together, or rip them apart? You're a private business, and you can do whichever one you like. Have the courage to pick.

Came here for 2026 Lewis Capaldi concert!…read more Rookie mistake, I had to dump water that was in my water mug during a bag check. Seats were first come first serve but its such an intimate setting that all seats are great in comparison to football stadium concerts. Bring some form of cushion for your butts! Saw Joy Crookes as the opener and she was great. There are a lot of food and drink options as well as portable restrooms beyond the lawn. Would recommend and come back for other events.

It is absolutely beautiful and not too big. Like everybody else says, there is not a bad seat in the house! ​The seats are all concrete, though, so yes--bring a cushion for your tushy. ​They are also very generous and relaxed about rules. You can bring a blanket, your own food, and even refillable water bottles since they have water stations inside. They also sell alcohol, non-alcoholic drinks, beverages, and food. It's just an amazing venue.

We have been going to the Telegraph Avenue Holiday Street Fair for decades. Today we drove into…read moreBerkeley and there was nothing there. SO disappointing! The website and the Facebook page STILL show that it was supposed to be open today. I couldn't find any notice anywhere of a cancellation. How are you supposed to know? After posting a question to another Berkeley Facebook page I was informed that it was canceled due to a weather prediction (the weather was just fine). In past years, it has rained, but the fair still went on. In any case, why no communication? This must be awfully disappointing to the vendors and the rest of Telegraph Avenue shops that benefit from the foot traffic, as well.

No, this is Telegraph Avenue where the hippy-dippy mood is not necessarily holiday-induced. It's really the same merchandise you see at most of the street fairs around here, but that's OK because it wouldn't be Berkeley otherwise. Where else could I get a flying pig wind catcher (photo: http://bit.ly/2EoxKDN)? They close Telegraph from Bancroft to Dwight and hold the fair from 11AM to 6PM on the three weekends before Christmas. It's worth checking out. RELATED - Hungry in Berkeley?

For a college baseball stadium it's alright. I would recommend to sit higher up on the bleachers…read morebecause the first handful of rows gives you no views unless you like to see the players backs and just see the baseball flying. Usually a nice crowd pops up from time to time. They got plenty of food insight and even some merchandise. Outside there's a ticket booth and security. Try not to bring too much but it's usually laid back but don't quote me too much. You can sit anywhere and there's ADA seating as well. A nice sundown and some baseball with a beer I would call it a nice little evening. I believe on Tuesdays the hot dogs are two dollars. I like the little grassy area to sit and picnic behind home plate. If you're a UC Berkeley student the games are free with your student ID.
