HP Pavilion at San Jose Reviews

Place was awesome, easy to enter and exit and friendly staff

Good venue, however the croud control on the floor was lacking.

It's always good to go see the Sharks play or an evening listening to a concert

We had a blast at the sap center seeing Snoop and friend

Stopped at sharks store to get something Sharky and loved it thank you go sharks

Great venue, easy to get in with short lines, seating is ideal, everyone gets a good view. Food and drinks are expensive $12 for a beer but that's what you get to charge a captive audience.

Great place to watch the Bruins beat the Sharks! Friendly people working at the bars, (remember to tip your bartender), easy access into downtown.
Tip, buy a nosebleed seat and move down into the high rent district, there's plenty of seats especially mid week games. Or find a scalper and bargain them down. I bought the $125 ticket for $30 five minutes before game time.

Best arena in town with the best hockey team! Go sharks!!!

Seats are really small so if you are a tall or large person seats are really uncomfortable

Great social sean. And sports venue, if your a sharks fan it is like a second home.
GO SHARKS!!

Super big, super fun and $3 beer and hotdog when the minor league team plays!

The acoustics are good and the space is huge. But on the other hand, if you travel there by public transport and have to go back to San Francisco for example, then you're going to have a problem.
I went to a concert and if you were driving and you wanted parking they would charge you $ 20. Take a good look at how to return. Although if you want to avoid problems, rent a car.
I myself checked American forums and they all said the same transportation problem.

Great experience with Monster Jam, Thanks Grave Digger for the amazing driving skills

We saw great figure skating over the last five days.

Contemporary design, well designed spaces with interesting nooks.

Went to see the sharks game and my husband and I love it.

It's always a good time when your watching a game or concert

Decent food options here. The stadium is small and the hallways get congested easily. However, there was a secret bar and food area under the first level of seats that was an epic find.

Huge closed auditorium with seating capacity up to 16k...woohoo!!

1st time experience wss ok. I was impressed. Good fans..

Home of the Sharks, the Tank is a great place to take in a hockey game. This isn't the biggest arena in the league, but it gets loud. Amenities are pretty good, with relatively clean bathrooms and a ton of food choices. You can get wine, mixed drinks, macrobrews, macrobrews, and soft drinks. There aren't any obstructed views and most of the seats have a great view.

Concerts are always well organized and staff very helpful. But I STRONGLY DISAGREE no extra staff inside arena monitoring for the use of cigarettes OF ANY KIND. Not all people smoke or are ok with it, also some families take their kids which are inhaling all that stuff. A well thought outside smoking area outside the arena will work wonders.

Clean stadium, security goes quick, not any bad seats. Food is super expensive.

Love this venue. So well organized everyone has an answer to your questions

No matter what the event is at this place, IT IS ALWAYS A GREAT PLACE!

The higher the level the more steep the seats are..so if youre someone that doesnt like heights or have anxiety because of it I would recommend you getting a lower level seat.

Really big and really cool
Looks like a hickey stadium (which it might be just it's the first time I'm here)
But overall good experience

The best looking concourse of all arenas I've been to.

Parking price is affordable. Easy access
Sound quality was not that great

Great place to go. Love watching a Sharks Game at the Tank

I have been there for the Sharks games concerts and even to see the Harlem Globetrotters with my son. Great seats No matter where they are.

Love the SAP center. It's so easy and manageable to go to events here!

Nice staff, nice place, the seats are very confortable. Go sharks go!

It was fun to watch Roger play here for a charity match with Bill Gates.

Decent venue, went for a concert, had a great time...
No one was around to tell people what line to get into, and it wasn't obvious as lines wrapped the building and back.
Probably great for sharks games, and don't forget that Caltrain stops right there so no need to drive

The worst hockey arena with the worst fans in hockey.

Cool arena (especially of course by the Shark motto). Not the most modern but with charm. Priced the hammer. Rarely seen as cheap a game of the NHL (parking tickets were more expensive).

I did not want to go to ice hockey because I did not care, but when I was going to experience this, it is huge and the people are huge. I walked from the Fairmont Hotel. There were so many events, so it was fun without any boredom.
I was selling beer, tacos, pizza, souvenirs, clothes, and I had a huge jam. The facility is good, too.

Beers were scares. And my seating was confusing. What made my night was MaNA.. and the great people in the blue uniforms.

Excellent arena. Went for a sharks game and the facilities are beautiful.

Great place to see a concert.
It's a smart move to sneak in your own booze because it's way over priced.

Got to play on professional ice for our league. They allowed guests and we were playing on the real deal. Don't know of any other professional sport that allows that.

Main event wasn't even on and they stopped selling alcohol, very disappointing. But good venue

Attended a sharks game. Amazing venue. Lots of employees on hand to keep things running smoothly. Lots of parking nearby.
