Pechanga Arena San Diego

Pechanga Arena opened in 1966 and still feels like a surviving piece of an earlier arena era. Generations of San Diego fans have seen hockey, boxing and major rock tours here, and the building’s age is now part of its character rather than something a renovation can hide.

Pechanga Arena sits in the Midway district, where Sports Arena Boulevard carries most event traffic. Old Town is the closest major transit hub, but you still need a final bus or rideshare connection. Drivers should arrive early enough to get parked before the peak rush.
