Disappointment: They only carry canned wine so we ended up getting very pricy vodka. It is a nice venue... just pricey - eat & grab beverages before going in... Would I go back?

Everything about it felt modern and clean, food & drinks however were a slight miss due to quality and of course nonsurprisngly, the cost was overpriced. Seating had ample shade as I sat in the mid section and had a great time watching the game. I would definitely come back here for other events if they hosted any like Enchanted.

I love attending events at PayPal Park. I've attended soccer games, Christmas light events and also…read moreother random events. I love how everything is so easy to navigate and also every viewpoint from the stadium is an unobstructed View. The staff works very hard to get people in and out of the stadium and they are very friendly as well. The bathrooms are very clean and there's plenty of them all around the stadium. I also love how there are food trucks on some days, so if you are not feeling the food at the stadium, it's great to try some of the food from the food trucks or the vendors at the grassy area. My biggest gripe though is the parking. It is absolutely expensive and not even convenient. I would suggest parking a little bit further out and then taking public transit there so you don't have to worry about parking. I also love the big screen which allows you to see all the action much much easier

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.

An old venue that's long in the tooth. Bathrooms are far too few. This was at a sports event that…read morewas sparsely attended. I can see how it might be nice as a smaller concert venue. The folks at the box office and the ticket gate were super friendly and helpful. The security staff seemed lost and just shuffled around the venue with no apparent purpose. The food was limited to one little concession cart. It did the job but it's nothing of note.

Great Family-Friendly Ballpark!…read more I highly recommend this stadium if you're looking for a fun experience not too far from the Bay Area. Located in San Jose, California, I came here for a work event and had such a great time with my son. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. One of the highlights was when they caught a ball from the outfield and handed it to my son--it was such a special moment and something he'll remember! The ballpark is a great place to bring children, with affordable tickets and fun activities for kids before the game even starts. The churros were also amazing, fresh, and definitely worth trying! I also tried the BBQ tri-tip, but unfortunately it was very dry and wasn't my favorite. Overall, the atmosphere, friendly staff, kid-friendly activities, and affordable tickets make this a great family outing. Highly recommend checking it out!

Parking is easy. Paid $15 to park in the structure next to the stadium. Getting out of the lot was a bit slow as everyone was leaving but there were guides and moved quickly after a while. We got searched and tickets scanned. For a few dollars, you can practice pitching and hang out in the bounce house. Concession are standard except for the garlic fries and the churros. My goodness, the churro is FRESHLY FRIED! None of that frozen stuff heated in the toaster. These churros were fried! The best part? It was only $5!!! The stadium experience was great! Friendly crowds. The firework show are at the end of the night? Impressive! It blew my expectations away! Definitely worth it if you like baseball and want a fireworks show! We were really happy with our 4th of July experience here!

Lot is only across the street. Easy access from 280. The evening games will be cold at the upper deck. Beer and food prices are better than NFL games.

So when we purchased the tickets the label and social media sites say CEFCU stadium. However the game was AT THE SOCCER FIELD NEXT TO ACTUAL STADIUM. Perhaps ticket or email should say that before anyone gets lost? I almost got lost, because I was looking for the in to the actual stadium. Also the San Jose earthquakes ii don't have signs posted at street, you follow San Jose state sings . it is not until you find canopy at gate where you realize that you are at right place. The vendor also doesn't sell coffee hope we are allowed to bring our own? My friend is sober so we didn't buy beer. Good to know it is offered tho. Game wasn't empty but it wasn't full either. Now if the quakes want more people attending their reserves team here it would perhaps be nice to offer promos at your local libraries, grocery stores or schools. I have seen the San Jose giants (the neighbors) do this in the past. Cool to watch soccer from this perspective, still needs attention to detail 4.2/5

What a gorgeous stadium. Everything looks new and modern, and the field is immaculately kept…read more It's a ball player's dream and a fan's dream! The field is part grass, part dirt, and part turf. The outfield is grass, grass that is kept trimmed perfectly even and watered so well that from afar you might believe it is actually turf. The infield is the same, perfect grass, except for the base paths and areas where shortstop and second base play, and the areas surrounding each base and home plate where the batter's box is. Typically what you'd expect for a baseball field. Then the area behind the batter's box and the catcher, and in the foul area between the field and the dugouts, is turf. There is a deep 402 foot fence and a nice scoreboard in left field. The stands are great - folding seats closer to the field, on the ground level under the sun. The upper level is beneath the overhang, and is made up of bleacher style benches. Bathrooms are clean, modern, spacious, and well kept. The entire stadium is professional and gorgeous. A perfect place to play or watch a great ballgame!

I wish the Sharks would communicate better regarding how they coordinate and lay out player autographs during both the early Sharks365 sessions and the subsequent General Admission autograph session. It helps with a game plan to help your kids get as many autographs as possible. The coordination of all three on-ice photo opportunities are very organized - a necessity when it's so crowded! All in all, so much to do! It was a blast! It was nice to see so many alumni at the Legends game, too!

Great price, even going to the movies with 4 people costs more than that! How could we say no??? Parking was well managed even with Santa Clara street being blocked off for an event. NOTE! SAP center changed their bag policy so we had to leave our purses/mini backpacks in the car. Their website is updated with what is acceptable. SAP center staff is always great at helping everyone and I love how personable they are. A pleasure to deal with! In the morning we were able to watch the players practice on the ice for about an hour. My son caught one of the practice pucks that flew over the glass which instantly made the ticket purchase worth it! There was a section to take a photo booth picture, pictures with sharkie, pictures on the ice, get your face painted, kids athletic area, and of course the meet the players/autographs. I wish that there was a published program that we could take that showed the times of all the events. Lines got long pretty quickly without us knowing what it was for. Prior to the event I guess there was an email that was sent out where you could reserve your time to take photos on the ice otherwise you wouldn't be able to do it. Kind of a bummer as the line didn't seem so long. My daughter had a stamp from doing the kids work out and a staff member let her line up to take a picture with the shark head but since the rest of our family didn't have a stamp we went back up to get one then found out we couldn't take a picture........ yet my daughter had no reservation and was able to line up so?? Aside from that (which wasn't a big deal) I think this was a great event to go to and definitely worth the price especially if you are a sharks fan. We were able to get super close to the players and it really was a great fan experience to be able to walk the SAP center so freely. If they could publish a schedule and maybe be more organized with the timing of things then that would improve it a bit. We will likely be back for the next one :).
