      I got tickets to see Peso Pluma I was super excited I had not been to a concert in a while . I don't really go to Stockton that much I did not even know what to expect. I was super surprised how big this arena was . Parking could be a hassle big lines but we got guided to a nice parking area for 25 bucks we parked really close . Luckily we showed up early enough my friend did not get so lucky they struggled to find parking. It's normal in every concert since it's so packed so many people. So get there early lol !

      So we walked across the street and the arena was literally right there so convenient . Walking to the arena there was a lot of vendors selling food . They were still there when we got out even more vendors showed up . I was tempted to get that 10 dollar hotdog hehe but went to In N Out instead . If you get there a little too early to enter the venue and you have to use the restroom the nearest one is in the hotel across from the arena, they also have a nice bar where you could buy drinks . I wish I had known about that bar earlier I would of hung out there longer while waiting for my friends .

      All the staff was super friendly so kind . After seeing bad reviews about this I was very surprised it was the opposite for me . Thanks Stockton Arena staff I know it was a sold out concert and hectic, but they were still very nice and professional to everyone. The arena takes a lot of precautions to make sure the concert was safe. There was no purses allowed at this event of any kind so all I had was my cell phone in hand, and my husband was holding my ID ect . Overall we had a amazing concert with amazing floor seats a night I will always remember. I would definitely be back to this Arena good times .

      Here for a cheer comp. nothing bad, the only complaint I have is the food areas. They're spread around the arena, however they SUCK! We paid nearly 8$ for a pretzel just for it to be cold. I don't know if their warmer doesn't work or what. The people working also have horrible customer service, they stare at you while you order with no thought behind their eyes, no smile. Sucks how pricey it is and for how rude the employees are and crappy the food they sell is‍

      The stadium is alright and decent. Nothing really special to be honest, but it's a good place to watch Stockton Kings games. There aren't really many venues inside the stadium plus the food here is much cheaper, which is good. The stadium is much smaller when I got through and doesn't seem to be crowded here. Not much hype here, but it's okay

      Had a great time out at the Stockton arena supporting the Sacramento/Stockton Kings G league basketball team. This was a playoff game that the City of Lathrop sponsored, collaboration with the NBA Jr. basketball league. Yes, I have my son started off early in his future NBA endeavors where they also was able to play there games here early during the day and got to meet and greet some the of the G league players, coaches, trainers and parents. Stockton arena staff rolled out the red carpet with a VIP room upstairs (Record Press Club room) for the kids, parents and coach for the City of Lathrop!

      What a great 2023 season for the Stockton Kings and coach Bobby Jackson!

      Two in One reviews since my photos have popped up! LOL

      I guess, I did not write about the Disney on Ice (Frozen) for my daughter and Circus de Soleil with the family. All great events held by the Stockton arena. Parking is located in the front of the building for $20 and parking in the garage for $15. Thank You Stockton arena for having such events where the community can enjoy these activities locally instead of spending our tax dollars in other cities.

      I decided to surprise my daughter with Disney On Ice tickets! It was her and my first time. My mom and younger brother also accompanied us. Disney on ice gets 5 stars overall. The show was great! So cute and nostalgic for me. My daughter loved it.

      I give 3 stars to the arena mainly just for cleanliness and staff being so nice and helpful. From guiding traffic to parking, questions about the line & just inside trying to find our seats as it was our first time at the arena!

      I knock 3 stars off because their prices, bag policy & don't get me started on the seats! They have a strict no bag policy. Which is okay.. we followed it, we left our bags at home and just made sure we had some cash and our debit cards we didn't want to be like the endless amount of dummies we seen trynna walk in with purses and backpacks. Soooo many people were sent back to their cars it was funny. I don't see why.. a few days and a day before the viewing I received an email stating NO BAGS ALLOWED. But I just feel like seriously? I would've liked to bring my own snacks and maybe a water bottle in.

      To the prices... ridiculous! $8.50 for a slice of pepperoni, $7 Dasani 16oz water bottle, $20 for a bag of popcorn LITERALLY. It was in a lil Mickey Mouse bucket but that bucket I can find at the dollar store. Knowing me though... I told the concession lady, c'mon I'll slide you $10 just give me the popcorn without the bucket. I don't need the bucket my mom just wants some popcorn.. she said "slide it under the table and it's yours" I said what, okay, thanks!!! So I saved $10! They still got me inside though walking around with icee's in Olaf cups & lemonade in Minnie Mouse reusable cups! My poor kid wanted the Olaf icee.. $20! I tried to get her to give it to me for $10 too but she was not having it. She took her job seriously. I still bought it for my babygirl.

      Now seats! I know people shouldn't be so big it's not healthy. I fit in my seat... I'm tiny! My poor mom, it's the Puerto Rican in her has a coke bottle shaped body.. she's been blessed in THAT area if you know what I mean.. she couldn't fit in the seat! I mean the seats are like made for twigs! We noticed a lot of other people on the bigger side with the same problem.. they were so narrow and small! Even just sitting next to my brother we were shoulder to shoulder. They didn't think that through! That's the only reason I wouldn't return to Disney on ice at this location.

      It's crazy how expensive everything is inside! They are making so much money just on tickets and they wanna kill us with the food prices. Next time, i'm just making sure we stop for food before we go. Thankfully I bought my daughters whole outfit and accessories on Amazon before hand because the light up wands they were selling were $30! Inside & outside the arena. I got my baby a 2 pack blue & pink for $11.99 on Amazon don't play with me lol.

      Bathrooms and arena were clean. We got good seats viewing wise. Staff was friendly. Shoutout the lady who gave me the popcorn half off you're a real one!

      I'd recommend Disney On Ice just not at this location, unless you wanna be crammed in a seat hella close to your neighbor for 2 hours.

      No bag policy. Not able to handle the parking capacity for the arena. Left my bag in a bush. Was able to recover after. Bert was great but really no purses? Masoginistic at the very least. Fuck this place. Never again: come to golden 1 next time Bert.

      Went to see Gabriel Iglesias on 11/16 at the arena in Stockton

      There was a no purse policy . I have been to multiple other venues where that has not been an issue
      When we came out the venue , as we had to park a block away since there wasn't adequate parking lot space, we found that all the cars in a 1 block radius had there windows smashed out. Presumably a thief knew there was a no purse policyand proceeded to smash out rear windows looking for purses.

      Both myself and a family member hd our windows smashed out, which prompted a call to the insurance company ahead of a rainstorm.

      I will no longer attend any performances at this venue as it proven to unsafe with inadequate venue parking.


      It is a shame !!!

      This was our first time at the Stockton Arena. The line was blocks long. I would suggest to arrive 2 hours early and find parking. The doors didn't open early so by the time we got inside ToTo was already performing. There is a waterfront hotel right next to the arena. Maybe next time we'll consider staying the night before. This arena is also home to the Stockton Kings.. the G-team of the Sacramento Kings. When we were in line, we were told by fellow Journey fans that purses or bags were not allowed inside the arena: luckily I had a wristlet wallet in my purse and Chris had to walk back to the car. While in line there were multiple push cart vendors selling hot dogs. The arena was beautiful.. and the whole experience was wonderful. I'm still trying to post some videos but have posted many pictures. Toto was incredible.. throughout their performances, the group truly let you feel how grateful they were for the opportunity to be performing after all these years. Journey always brings back fond memories. It was incredible to hear the music. Arnel Pineda's voice brought Steve Perry back to life. I'm proud of Arnel Pineda and happy for his success! JOURNEY had several solo performances: the pianist/guitarist, the drummer and the lead guitarist. I loved all the music but I could feel
      there was something going on within the group. There was an energy I couldn't put my finger on.. there's something going on.. something not quite right. I pray they work it out. Overall I was just happy to hear their music. We bought a sweatshirt for $60 and a t-shirt for $50. Possibly expensive but we felt it was worth it and we bought it from legit vendors. Thank you Stockton Arena for a smooth and safe experience!!

      Came here for the first time ever to attend AEW Dynamite this past Wednesday. The show was great. The employees were pretty nice. Everything else needs work though. The seats were small, uncomfortable and had little to no legroom. The seating chart was confusing. My section was in the 100s but when you walked to that section you're actually in the 200s. You have to walk down after climbing some stairs to get to the 100s sections. Parking was a bit steep at $20 but I guess it's for the peace of mind and not risking your car getting broken into or stolen which would probably happen in a city like Stockton. Unless another major event comes here that interests me, I probably won't drive 40+ minutes to come here again.

      It's been a while since I been to the arena. Went to AEW and had a great time. Parking was easy, and the line to get in was smooth and moved quickly. There was a no bag/purse policy, which was the only downfall. Should at least allow clear bags. Luckily, I saw no bags allowed prior, so I came prepared, but I saw some females were turned away. The price for drinks was through the roof, but unfortunately, that is expected for any venue. Wish they would allow people to bring water with a sealed cap. We already go through metal detectors. I didn't purchase food but can imagine the high cost. Lines were way too long anyway. I suggest coming early and park in the garage, not on the street. Better safe than sorry. Exiting the arena was also smooth. The traffic control attendants did a great job with that.
