HP Pavilion (7:30 p.m.): My dad and I went to the game on Saturday (San Jose played the Utah Blaze). It was at least the 6th SaberCats game that I've been to. As usual, we saved money by parking nearby (it's interesting how many houses are just across the street from HP Pavilion- a house a block away is now up for sale). When we arrived, my dad let himself be frisked. It was comical (he just walked over to one of the guys and raised his arms- I briefly wondered if he had done something in the past that I was unaware of). I had about as many items on me, but just walked right up to the doors. The edges of the main stairs currently feature some cool images of the San Jose Sharks (it's sad that they just got eliminated from the playoffs). We had great seats (we were 10 rows back, and were only blocked off from seeing kicks go through the left uprights), and our tickets were just $9 each (my dad took advantage of a promotion). The guy to my left was annoying (he went to the game with his dad too, and I wish his dad had been sitting next to me). He had some booming claps (he almost made me go deaf), and he was too wound up early on (he clapped over every little thing). Only 2 vendors were around (I'm glad that we weren't hungry- only a few kiosks were open too). One sold cotton candy, and the other sold Dippin' Dots (Banana; Chocolate; Rainbow). I was tempted to buy some, but didn't. The woman who sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" was pretty fine. She also had a beautiful voice (I actually noticed). T&A: "Stop teasing me!" (what a guy behind us kept saying to the young woman who goes out on the field to signal the beginning and end of commercial breaks). The woman is "too skinny" for my dad's taste, and I think the woman the current one replaced was hotter. It's cute, though, the way the new woman dances. You can tell that she has a lot of fun during games (the other woman was more serious). The SaberKittens were also standing very close to us, but I didn't actually look at them much. With a few exceptions, the women aren't that hot this year. The Kiss Cam action kind of sucked. Too many old couples were featured, and this one guy was clueless as to what he was supposed to do until the camera started to cut away. A ton of penalties were called. This guy and his sons couldn't make up their minds: "Hey refs! You suck!" "Hey refs! You're great!" o_O A Utah wide receiver made a "flying catch over the boards," and another one went over the boards a few minutes later. It was also memorable when San Jose defensive back Clevan Thomas made a 50-yard interception return for a touchdown in the 3rd quarter. The SaberCats normally draw over 10,000 fans (the attendance on Saturday was 8,438). Still, it often got very loud inside. Some fans also did some crazy dances. A few guys even took off their shirts ("No, no. Put your shirts back on. Please."). I kind of agree with another reviewer ("no more cowbell!"). I'm used to it, but some fans bring cowbells and ring them too fuc---- much. You might think that you're at a farm. Free!: The SaberCats have always treated their fans well. This is what was given away during the game: -3 footballs (fans get to keep balls that wind up in the stands). A guy at the end of our row caught the ball that was thrown away at the end of the game. -A whole row got Lillie Mae's "famous" BBQ sauce. -Another row got Buffalo Wild Wings (I think this occurred when a guy threw a football between the uprights- he had 2 tries, but was good in his 1st attempt). -Another row got Round Table Pizza. -Yet another got In-N-Out food (in most cases, vouchers are given out only). The crowd went crazy, by the way, when the logo was flashed. -As usual, some T-shirts were shot or launched into the stands. -5,000 fans got a Program/Green Night Reusable Shopping Bag (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/san-jose-sabercats-san-jose?select=1VBDoLhLt0EYFkHTGFJitQ#yAaOuPNkLRMGMNuEwLf6oQ). Some pictures from 3 fans that were posted online during the game were shown on the scoreboard. I think the last fan won a spa treatment. Halftime: 4 teams of 7-year-olds played flag football. The action was hard to follow (the announcer had to keep turning his attention from one side of the field to the other), but kind of exciting. Only 1 girl played, but she actually scored a touchdown. :) http://www.thesanjosesabercats.com/news_details.php?id=540: The SaberCats almost gave me a heart attack (the game was finally decided with 11 seconds left to play, and San Jose only scored on 4 of their 9 possessions- this is pitiful for an Arena Football team), but they beat the Blaze 35-34. My dad and I had a lot of fun. Win or lose, there's nothing like seeing the SaberCats play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98W9QuMq-2k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB2vMwvqIyk

He goes above and beyond every time, is always responsive, and makes sure all of your questions are answered. You can tell he genuinely cares about creating a great experience. Also want to recognize Nick in Section 114. He is always kind, welcoming, and brings great energy to the game. He does an awesome job getting fans hyped and makes the section even more fun.

They are one of the original mls teams from the beginning in the 90s. Chris Wondolowski is the legendary local player. The stadium is open and modern with food trucks, open air bar and a great atmosphere. The fans are passionate and make the environment fun. It's a family friendly environment. Tickets are reasonable for sports games. The reason I give 3 stars is because the owners and management have turned this team into one of the worst in the league. The owners refuse to keep up with investment in players like other teams. It makes being a supportive fan very difficult. The good news is that they recently fired the awful general manager and things will hopefully improve.

The San Jose Earthquakes are one of the original nine MLS members that began play in 1996. Over…read morethat time, the Quakes have qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs nine times and won two of them (2001 and 2003). In addition to those two championships, the team was very successful in the early 2000s, making the playoffs five straight years from 2001 to 2005. Probably the most well-known person to play for the Quakes is retired American soccer star Landon Donovan. The MLS MVP award is named after him after all. Donovan won a record six MLS Cups during his playing career. He was a member of both the 2001 and 2003 San Jose championship teams. While he was the team's top goalscorer in 2003 (12 goals), Salvadoran striker Ronald Cerritos was actually the team's top scorer in 2001 (11 goals). In 2001, Quakes coach Frank Yallop was named MLS Coach of the Year and players Jeff Agoos and Troy Dayak won the Defender of the Year and Comeback Player of the Year awards, respectively. In 2003, Quakes goalkeeper Pat Onstad was the league's Goalkeeper of the Year. Due to a combination of stadium, ownership, trademark, and other related issues, the San Jose Earthquakes were inactive for the 2006 and 2007 seasons. The team really hasn't been the same since, failing to qualify for the playoffs most years. Over the past decade, San Jose has routinely finished sixth or worst in the Western Conference. On the bright side, the Earthquakes are one of only a handful of MLS teams to win the MLS Cup multiple times. They've also won the Supporters' Shield twice for having the best regular season record in 2005 and 2012. San Jose is currently led by All-Star veteran forward Chris Wondolowski whose present stint with the team began in 2009. Wondolowski led the league in scoring two times (2010, 2012) and was MVP in 2012. He is, by far, the franchise's all-time leader in games played and goals scored. His records would be even greater if his stats from his time with the Houston Dynamo (2006-2009) somehow counted, but that is another story.

If you enjoy watching desperate men - and sometimes women - beat one another to a bloody vegetative…read morestate, you need not look further than your local boxing event. Fight Night at the Tank is largely a showcase of new local professional boxing talent getting their first big break in a big event setting. There are usually 5 or 6 bouts, mostly the lighter weights (fly, feather, welter, junior middle, middle), and they go between 4 and 10 rounds each. There is plenty of room to spread out since only about 3,000 are in attendance on any given night in the comfy confines of HP Pavilion. The mood inside HP on fight night is always one of electricity and excitement, as there is always the chance that someone will die. On this particular night (November 16), all the goombahs, bookies, pimps, tuffies and skinny white boys eagerly awaited Andre Ward, Olympic middleweight gold medalist, Greece '04, who beat the crap out of some unknown from Gary, Indiana. But it went all six rounds at least. Bout 5, the main event, matched a couple of washed up old school veterans against each other, for whatever reason. One was a tall lanky hispanic dude. The other was a scrappy scrawny cracker from Miami named Vitali Popitko who was balding and had a nice rose color to him. Although I worried that a strong wind would blow him over, I had to put my money on the Great White Hope, clearly the underdog. Well it just so happens that we would get our money's worth on this very special night as the two would pummel and beat each other merciless. The hispanic guy had blood gushing from his left eye and the Great White Hope must've had a busted rib or two cuz he went down on one knee in obvious pain five or six times. Great White battled courageously as the hispanic guy sucker punched him over and over working those busted ribs. In the end, the two old-timers battled Jake LaMotta style through 3 rounds of the 10 round bout, but Popitko succumbed to the agonizing pain of the busted ribs. Either that or he was a real big pussy cuz I didn't see him absorb that many square shots. In any case, Fight Night is just good, clean, wholesome, bloody, violent, fun for the whole family! Bring all the little goombahs!

Since then, my son has attended both camp and several Parents' Night events, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kids World. The entire team is exceptional. I have experience with other children's camps, and Dasha Nonkin, the Kids Club Manager, really stood out. She was thorough, kind, organized, and very detail-oriented. It is clear that she takes tremendous pride in the camp program and in creating a meaningful experience for the children. My son was treated like gold. He did incredibly well, learned so much, and came away with stronger social skills, a better understanding of teamwork, and so much enthusiasm for the arts and crafts, projects, and activities. He genuinely raved about his experience and wants to continue to join future camps! I am extremely grateful to Dasha and the entire Kids World team for creating such a positive, enriching, and caring environment for him.

I believe this organization pay Yelp to suppress negative reviews! I highly DO NOT recommend to take your son to this organization. Please read my story below to prevent your family from a lots of problems brought by three individuals ( the owner Brooks, Ulysses and a guy by the name of Johnny. We were recommended by one of neighbors to join this Tunderbird club. My son was in 5th grade and when I called Brooks and told him what I expected from the basketball he agreed to have a tryout for my son the next day. His tryout was so ridiculous that even I could play basketball. He told my son that he is very good and came over to give me the cost of program. I did paid him fully and started his awful so called practices in a old dark church buildings with no air conditioning at all. After several practices I noticed that he is mixing 8th and 9th graders with 5th graders. Obviously a 5th grader can not even compete nor even practice with the older kids. When I brought this to Brooks attention he said "Oh well, do not worry my kid will be better as a result". This was his first big LIE! The very first game he did not even played my son at all and played his favorite people including Johnny's son in which his son did not even made one shot. when I talked to him as to why my son was not played at all he told me that he will soon... This was his second big LIE! Game after game he only played hie own favorite people and not my son. Overall with 22-24 games my son only played total of only 20 minutes TOTAL!!!! Game after game my son was either sat down or when he would go the court he would be pulled from the game with if few MINUTES!!!! Again when I asked him why I was given a promise but an empty one. Until today we do not know why my son benched all the games. Brooks, is a serial LIER only! After we pulled him out of this awful club and when I confront Brooks with it he told me "he does not want to go there". We PAID his fees, we attended all the games and practices but my son was abused by the so called coach and his assistance coach (Ulysses). As for the Ulysses ( Asswipe), he is a terrible example for kids. Just his look tells you that he does not come from a good family and his up bringing is not to normal standard of people from the bay area. I am not sure where did Brooks found this man. Not only he does NOT know anything about basketball but his team looses all the time when he is so called coaching! I firmly believe that the only reason he is coaching is because of his 2nd grader son in which he mixed with my son team and he played this little guy all the time. He is such a stupid person to put his little boy to play with tall 8th graders in which it is just a matter of time to get hurt physically at the game. If he has no regards for his kid then you can imagine what he will do to your kids! As for the so called assistant (johnny) he seems to be from a "Ghetto". He always is backing Brooks no matter wrong or right and only is concern with his own kid. He put ALL parents and team mates aside so hi own kid plays ALL the games all the time even though his own son fails to make a basket or plays correctly. As a matter in fact his son bullied my son all the time and when I brought this to Brooks attention I was told "survival of the fittest". So did not even talked to Johnny's son to stop bulling my son and others! Please if you care about your son in any bit, do not take him to this organization. These people run this club like a "Gangsters" and only interested in your money! Do not believe hie website and his garbage so called mission statement either because non of it is true. Sorry for the long review but you as the parents needed to hear our family experience with these people were. Note: It has been my experience that there are many awful so called AAU's in this area but I have found a team by the name of "roadrunner" is a decent one.
