The arena's technical infrastructure reflects its Silicon Valley context, with fan-facing technology that often exceeds what comparable venues elsewhere offer. San Jose's location at the centre of the world's most economically dynamic region means concert audiences here frequently contain the people who are building the technology that shapes how music is distributed and consumed globally.

SAP Center — San Jose Sharks

The shark-themed pregame show and lighting are among the most dramatic in the NHL.
