This arena, and surrounding neighborhood to the north needs to be demolished. I have absolutely no desire to go to the Valley View Casino, ever again. Note: There is a Chick Fil-A across the parking lot to the south. Given the substandard facilities, any price is too much.) The food and beverage at the concessions is not surprisingly, over priced.(A previous response by the management maintained that their pricing is consistent with other venues. Then there is the usual security screening at the entrance which adds to the aggravation factor. To add insult to injury they charge $20.00. The parking lot is not well marked and is disintegrating. Not a place I would want to visit day or night.) (Adult books stores, massage parlors,etc. The arena is located next to what appears to be San Diego's red light district. The traffic going in was terrible with cars backing up on to the 5 Freeway.Ģ.As an alternate I would suggest getting off a Sea World Drive, going down to Midway (towards the ocean), turning left on to Midway, over the canal, then a another left onto Sports Arena Blvd.

This is the type of nonsense that make people think twice about going to a family sporting event. Security's attitude was heightened for no reason. I'm not sure what they were hoping to find. I can see if it was a concert then I'd be a little more understanding of the measures practiced. Gross!!! It was very extreme of security to post that type of restriction at a family event. I don't know how he kept it straight because the bags were just sitting at the floor of the Uhaul bad. For $10, I begrudgingly left my purse with this strange man. Who carries an evening purse size purse to the Gulls game? Since the other women decided to leave their bags, so do I. At first we said heck with the game lets just leave! How unprofessional!!! This is a family event. Theres a Uhaul truck parked at the back of the stadium, rollup door is up and a guy by himself is collecting bags, handbags, purses. Hell no, not throwing away my purse!!! Smh.

Said we couldn't bring the purse in but we could throw it away or check it. We thought ok then we'll empty everything into a friends clear bag. The container was so small an evening bag might fit in it.

Security had a container that your purse should fit inside. We weren't prepared but i had a small purse so didn't think I had a problem. Select folks were prepared and brought clear bags for their stuff. Upon entry the usual search of bags, purses, etc was taking place.
