Editorial Review for HP Pavilion at San Jose – by Jim Harrington
In Short
With concerts and sporting events, the arena is busy about 180 days of the year. It's known as the Shark Tank, home of the San Jose Sharks professional hockey team, and the men in teal play at home about 40 times a year--including, hopefully, playoff games. When it comes to music events, the arena has hosted lots of big names, including Garth Brooks, Bob Dylan, U2, Dave Matthews, Black Sabbath and the Judds.

The San Jose arena is far away a much better venue than the "new" arena in Oakland -- the former Oakland Coliseum Arena. San Jose has big, wide walkways and plenty of food choices. The design is nothing out of the ordinary, but makes for a loud scene at Sharks game (which is exactly the way it should be). Plenty of parking is available if you want to walk 4-5 blocks.
Pros: Great for Sharks
Cons: Walk after parking
