San Jose Sharks Los Angeles reviews
Sharks hockey + Star Wars = fantastic evening!
I knew the Star Wars/Sharks hockey mashup would be fun, but I didn't expect the pairing to work so well together. Every detail was top-notch, from the cosplayers in the concourse to the (extremely clever) video segments. (The giveaway T-shirt, featuring Thornton, Couture, and Pavelski as Rebel Alliance pilots, was much appreciated and quite cool-looking.) Of course, the game itself is always the most important thing, and this was the most exciting yet well-executed defensive game I've seen the Sharks play in all my years of fandom. (Jones absolutely deserved first star, but Martin and the bravely shot-blocking Schlemko were unsung heroes in my book.) Can't wait for next year's version!
The Tank Rocks
The SAP center is a great place to catch a hockey game. It is small enough to have a great view from any seat, yet big enough to not feel crowded. It has large open walkways and a really refreshing assortment of foods to chose from. The only downsides are they have blocked off the entrances into the stadium so the aesthetic look shabby now and inside the lines for food venues can work their way out into the foot traffic around the concourse.
The night I was at the game it wasn’t sold out so it wasn’t as loud as I am sure it could be. At times it was downright quiet. The activities director (a blond guy with lots of hair) was flat and not very enthusiastic. I get that everyone has an off night... I guess I caught his. He did come across as a surfer dude with a laid back attitude though. Parking at the stadium is expensive. I recommend parking anywhere else and using a scooter or walking in. Before the game, be sure to hit the San Pedro Market Square to grab some tasty food and drinks and then you can walk from there!
Overall... the Tank is a great place to catch just about anything!
We couldn't see the action!
I bought three tickets for about $600 in section 101, first row, as a Christmas gift for my son and his fiance. We were so excited with what we thought would be a great experience. There was no indication on your website or seating chart that these expensive seats have almost no visibility. But when we got there we could not see the ice because the opposing team's (Canucks) bench was right in front of us, with players blocking nearly our entire view. We were only a few feet from our live heroes, but we had to watch them remotely on the overhead screen. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!
