Located in San Diego, California, the Valley View Casino Center (Formerly San Diego Sports Arena) is convenient for both public and private transportation. Watch going to your car at the end since parking lot lighting is not so good. This state of the art venue has a large seating capacity and offers a wonderful viewpoint regardless of the seat location. Glad the tickets were cheap because I dropped a small fortune on food. Okay food fare but expect to pay stadium prices ($12.50 for a premium beer!). Imagine that a full concert, like the Garth Brooks one, made things interesting. We had a large crowed last night and honestly getting out of the stadium and back onto I5 was pretty easy compared to other sports traffic that I have been part of or witnessed. Tickets are a little pricey especially those on the glass.
Stadium itself is dated, but is pretty clean including the bathooms. Pay lots around the stadium are about $10 and that walk is probably okay. Expect to pay between $15 to $20 for parking which really isn't all that bad. The 'neighborhood' surrounding the arena is beyond eclectic (strip bars and massage parlors among other businesses). Not sure about public transportation, and I sure has heck wouldn't walk there.
