HP Pavilion History and Information
As the cornerstone of a revitalized downtown area, the Arena is continually building excitement and civic pride for the City of San Jose and quickly establishing itself as the place to be in the Bay Area.
HP Pavillion (formerly called the San Jose Arena) has been called "the biggest success in the city's rebuilt downtown." Not only is the Arena the permanent home to four professional sports teams, but also a main reason that San Jose is quickly becoming a mecca for amatuer sporting events as varied as fencing, volleyball and Sumo wrestling.
The National Hockey League's San Jose Sharks headline the Arena's entertaining major- league sports lineup. The Arena also houses the Rhinos of Roller Hockey International and the Arena's newest tenant -- the Arena Football League's SaberCats, who entered their inaugural season in 1995.
Other major events that have come to San Jose include the 1996 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, the 1997 NCAA Men's Basketball West Regional Finals and the 1997 NHL All-Star Game. In July, HP Pavillion was chosen as the site of the 1999 NCAA women's basketball Final Four championships. In addition, the Arena plays regular host to the Cable Car Classic (college basketball), Sybase Open (the first stop on the Association of Tennis Professionals Tour) and other major sporting events.
Managed by San Jose Arena Management since opening in September 1993, spectacular HP Pavillion has hosted more than 275 events with nearly 3-million people passing through its doors.
In 1990, the City Council established the San Jose Arena Authority to oversee the operation of the Arena facility and to act as the Arena's liaison to the San Jose community. The Arena Authority reports to a 12-member board of directors, comprised of many of the same dedicated people who contributed to the Arena's development -- including representatives from the City Council, City Administration, the Redevelopment Agency (the developers of the Arena), the neighborhoods, the downtown merchants and members of the community at large.
As capital of Silicon Valley, San Jose is synonomous with high technology and San Jose Arena fits right in as a perfect showcase for architectural excellence and technological innovation. Outside, a shining stainless-steel facade supports a magnificent glass pyramid entry soaring 10 stories above the ground. Inside, state-of-the-art acoustics and leading-edge seismic engineering contribute to the Arena's reputation as one of the finest single-concourse facilities in the United States .
In 1988, San Jose voters laid the foundation for the new Arena, electing to build a downtown multi-purpose sports and entertainment facility that would create jobs, attract the regional community to a revitalized city center and provide a venue for major league sports, family attractions and various community events.
From the beginning, the City of San Jose has involved neighborhood groups, downtown merchants, and civic and business leaders in the study of parking, traffic, and a host of other vital issues. Everybody had a say in their Arena project.
The completion and success of HP Pavillion is an important milestone in San Jose 's emergence as a destination city, and its convenient downtown location allows guests to take full advantage of an urban setting -- complete with fine dining, bustling cafes and clubs, and a host of transportation alternatives.
The world's greatest names in sports and entertainment have already found the way to San Jose with many more on the horizon. Performers and entertainers as varied as Placido Domingo, Andre Agassi, James Taylor, Van Halen, Kenny G, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Elton John, Luciano Pavarotti, Big Bird, Elton John and Jimmy Connors have thrilled Arena audiences of all ages.
Welcome to the exciting, new world created by spectacular HP Pavillion.
