SAP Center at San Jose

SAP Center opened in 1993 and quickly earned the Shark Tank nickname from the hockey crowd, but it has always doubled as Silicon Valley’s major indoor concert room. Its greatest practical advantage is location: the arena sits beside one of the Bay Area’s busiest regional rail hubs.

Diridon Station is next to SAP Center, with Caltrain, VTA and bus service converging there. Check the final Caltrain departure before the show if you are returning up the Peninsula. Drivers have downtown lots, but transit is unusually convenient for an arena of this size.

Diridon Station is next door, with Caltrain, VTA and regional bus connections. San Pedro Square is a good pre-show area within walking distance. Check the final Caltrain departure before a late encore because the last train matters more than the arena exit.
