San Jose Sharks tout benefits to city as lease set to expire
Since opening in Sept. 1993, SAP Center at San Jose has been a gathering place for the community, providing more than thirty glorious years of entertainment for the city of San Jose and its residents. Over the last three decades, Arena events have included countless thrilling Sharks games, nearly every major music entertainment act, family shows, cultural entertainment festivities, and a variety of world-class sporting events – to just scratch the surface. The wide-range of events unifies residents and the memories made will last forever but like any multi-purpose facility, the upkeep is relentless. SAP Center has proudly welcomed more than 50 million guests through its doors, the most of any South Bay facility, and we look forward to serving the next generation of Bay Area fans. To ensure that can take place, local leaders will need to invest in the city-owned facility to ensure it remains modern and vibrant. This website has been created to ensure that our guests can remain informed on the latest developments on how SAP Center can serve another generation and beyond.
