HP Pavilion at San Jose Reviews

Saw tool for their 2020 tour. The sound was impressive from the 100's seats. I was really impressed. I've been to other arena concerts where the sound just does not work. SAP was great!

Thoroughly enjoyed my first Sharks game! This stadium was very alive and vibrant. I hope to return soon.

Pretty much every seat has a good view. Audio is good. Bathroom lines move very quickly. Lots of concession options at sharks games, but they are very pricey.

Don't stand up or lean forward in your seats, you'll block the view of the folks behind you.

The perfect place to enjoy a concert! Facility was very clean and security was great. The staff was so accommodating. We will be back.

The ratio of spots that serve beer / serve liquor really need to be improved (can only get liquor at a couple of places which causes insane lines), but for an old event arena/stadium its fairly clean. Food options are okay, but nothing as good or as varied as in a baseball stadium. Giving 4 stars only because of the general cleanliness.

SAP is a great venue whether you re seeing a Sharks game or a concert. Parking is ample and not terribly expensive (25 during a Sharks game). The venue itself is in downtown SJ and is walkable to several dinning choices as well as pubs and cocktail lounges.

Came here for Intel Extreme Masters. It's not what the venue is normally used for, so I'll say the bad screen viewing is not really their fault.

The place is clean and the staff are helpful, and the bathrooms are really big. The main downside as with most sports venues is the ridiculous food prices.

I originally gave 5 stars, the venue was clean we had a wonderful experience. The staff were pleasant and the ushers were very friendly. The show was fantastic and made memories to last. It truelly was an amazing experience. I dropped a star not because of the venue but because my children fell extremely ill following our visit. We dont get out much and this was our only outing so we traced it back to Disney on Ice. Parents, I know the tickets were pricey but its not worth spreading yours and your childs illness. A lot of parents give their kids motrin and think they are fine, no you are still contiguous. I'm writting this message from the E.R. with my 2 year old, and the purpose is to hopefully resonate with someone who is thinking of attending a high volume event with a sick child. SAP center, you were amazing once again.

The place is quite good, a low point is that there is no access for wheelchairs, if you are very vigilant it is safe and enough places to buy food, drinks and snacks.

GO SHARKS!!!!!! they always have great people working and I love that they're always happy to see me.

I love this arena! I've been here for many concerts and its always fun! I've been on the top and its still fun! This arena also has good hot dogs! Also try the Pretzels! YUM!

It's a small enough venue that you're not too far away from the action. Since we were in row 2, the action was right in front of us.

Took my family of 6 for disney on ice last week. Wonderful show and effects. Food wasn't bad.

An experience to remember. Friendly, with high security. Joyce Myers conference was great.

Was here for conference. Security was hit and miss, signs said we could bring in fruit but they rejected strawberries. Vendor food was expensive, glad there was a whole foods close by, same prices but way healthier.

We took our kids to Disney on Ice and overall it was a good experience. We have family that works there and we were supposed to be on the free parking list but they couldn't find our name so we had to pay. Also they only allow clear bags that are a specific size but we were allowed to take in our diaper bag. We just had to show that there were diapers in there. Food and drinks were overpriced but that's expected. All the drinks were bottled but they had to open it and take the cap away before they gave it to us. That's new to me but they were able to give me a plastic cup with a lid and straw. I had to ask several times and tell them I'm gonna end up spilling this on my baby but I got it. The show was very entertaining for a toddler and even my 5 month old wanted to watch.

Just saw luke combs!!!! Can't wait to see a sharks game!

Great facility for any event. Nice choice of concessions. Easy access.

Easy parking. Great sound system. Will go see concerts here again!

Great location near a Caltrain stop and near local eateries. I always enjoy events here.

I've been here a few times now for the Shark's game. I love the cleanliness and the convenience of the location. Go Sharks!

Clean and friendly staff. Great place to catch a game or concert.

For me ther is NOTHING bad about this place. I just love the fact the scoreboard is actually in the middle of the ice unlike the Islanders

Tool was amazing! SAP sounds and effects we're awesome.

Concerts, hockey, political events, hockey, Olympic trials, hockey.

Nice large venue. Somewhat problematic sound system

Impressive arena, perfectly organized and a treat for a presentation like the one Andrea Bocelli did... it was a delightful moment. (No photos as requested by the event organizer)

I have never left this venue disappointed whether it be concerts or #sharksterritory, turn up the tank! This place has fantastic seats no matter what ticket you have.

Love the environment parking is easy my business event ACN international Convention

Good easily accessible vernier for both concerts and spring events, Go Sharks!

Had an amazing time!! Even had guy bring us from the parking lot on a bicycle

Great place to watch any event, concerts,sporting events.

Went to a hockey game. Easy to find from train station. Truly, you can't miss it. Plenty of food options and bathrooms. Seats were typical from side to side, but I felt they were very tight from waist to knee - and I'm 5'3". Employees were friendly. We had a great time. Go Sharks!

One of the best hockey arena venues anywhere. Food is great, site lines excellent.....oh. and a pretty good hockey product on the ice

Employees very helpful and cheerful, that overlooked the bad seats and seating. My granddaughter got a backache from seats and didn't have unobstructed view,

Good acoustics for concerts, good view of the stage from the loge area, TV monitors spaced well around the area for alternative viewing, excellent venue in general.

Literally eat during the whole game. Best sports event food in the bay area sorry at&t

Atmosphere is great. This building is aging but it's still holding up well to the community and all it's venues it supports. I've seen all kinds of events here take place since I was a kid. I even use to help my mom decorate and do balloon drops/party events when they first had the Sharks, Rhinos, and eventually the Sabercats. Having seen behind all the scenes and up from above in the rafters, it's a great place for all sights and sounds.

Sometimes you'll have a crummy seat blocked by big heads or bar railings. Perhaps you'll get stuck in an unfortunate section that only has enough leg room for someone under 5'7.

The only true wrongdoing here is the always insane cost for food and drinks. But as anyone can tell you at any sporting event, never eat there, never come hungry. Food selection is okay, but it's more worthwhile to spend your money on overpriced memorabilia.

If you're lucky enough to get to stay in a company box office though with everything paid for, go nuts.

Still, prices can be found for all events at a fair cost without breaking the bank. Which is nice that they haven't let themselves get a large head like the Giants, thinking they're finally catching up in total world series wins so let's make it stupid costly. Go A's and LET'S GO SHARKS!

Attended a Kpop concert. Purchased ADA seats as sis is in a wheelchair. We got to enter immediately after VIP, and were able to get guidance to elevator to get to our seats (213). (For reference, you enter on the 3rd floor, go up to 4th for the ADA boxes, which are next to the suites.) It was nosebleed status, but we could see the whole stage and it was a great show. The bathrooms were clean. Snacks were typical arena food, but worth it. Sound was amazing.

Great place and fun to be with friends and family. Go sharks.

On site parking is about $15 but with little one is worth it.

Easy parking close to the entrance. Good food options. Seating rows are spaced far enough apart for good leg room.

For an older arena, it's in pretty good shape!! I really enjoyed my time watching the Sharks vs the Oilers! Great food choices and drinks! Nice atmosphere!

Super good place for shows, now they will have many Mexican artists who will sing at the SAP

Easy parking, good arena, lots of restrooms, many exits, etc

the sharks are the best, but they werent doing good this season, but like always they are still doing better than the ducks

Good seating,awesome concert.i saw adamlbert,queen ,awesome show.
Thanks sj 4 hosting queen

It's awesome, except I bought a soda for over $5 after I paid they took the cap , it wasn't cold , got flat quickly and charged over $5 for a cup of ice... Really?! Very poor customer service. Don't much like being ripped off..

Great place to see the Sharks and the occasional Warriors play. Not a bad seat in the house.
