August 25, 2006 iPay One Center at the Sports Arena 3500 Sports Arena Blvd San Diego, CA 92110 (619) 225-0176 SEATING CAPACITY: 14,800 ![]() iPAY ONE CENTER AT THE SPORTS ARENA : ![]() The San Diego Sports Arena (formerly iPayOne Center) is an indoor arena located on Sports Arena Blvd in Point Loma, San Diego, California off of Interstate . The arena was built in 1966 by Robert Breitbard, a local football hero who played for Hoover High School and San Diego State, for "a modest" $6.4 million dollars. The arena opened on 17 November 1967 when more than 11,000 pro hockey fans watched the San Diego Gulls (then a member of the Western Hockey League) win their season opener 4-to-1 against the Seattle Totems. The arena seats 12,000 for arena football, 12,920 for ice hockey, 14,500 for basketball and tennis, 5,450 for amphitheater concerts and stage shows, between 8,900 and 14,800 for arena concerts, 13,000 for ice shows and the circus, and 16,100 for boxing and wrestling. In 2003 Amusement Business/Billboard Magazine listed the arena as the "#5" facility in the nation for venues seating 10,001 to 15,000 seats. The same magazine ranked the arena as #2 in 2002. The venue continues to host occasional concerts, although other San Diego venues, like Coors Amphitheater in Chula Vista, Cox Arena at San Diego State University (on the eastern edge of the city) and SOMA (which is next door to the arena), are becoming more popular for musical events. The San Diego Sports Arena remains the only ice arena facility in San Diego County, and hosts annual skating events such as the Stars on Ice and Champions on Ice shows, and the Disney holiday ice shows. The property continues to derive the majority of income from the Kobey's Swap Meet, held every weekend in the west end of the parking lot. SETLIST: "Jailhouse Rock" (Entrance) ( Elvis Presley ) "Hollywood Nights" ( Bob Seger ) "Livin' For The City" ( Stevie Wonder ) "Don't Let Me Down" ( The Beatles ) "Do I Make You Proud" "Takin' It To The Streets" (Encore) ( The Doobie Brothers MEDIA AND REVIEWS: SOUL PATROL MEMORIES: 1 vernon 26 My first concert was the AI5 concert, August 25, 2006 - San Diego, CA I missed most of the concert, because I was outside waiting to meet him. Which i did and i couldn't stop crying. I finally did get into the arena and saw him perform and here is my reaction - taken from my concert recap. Then Taylor. Taylor Taylor Taylor. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. I couldn't stop screaming. I was standing up the whole time. Had an aisle seat, so that was great. Was able to dance and just scream my lungs out. When he brought out the harmonica and started up on that thing I truly almost passed out. (I had barely eating anything, had maybe two bottles of water and had screaming so much) I just went to my knees for second and just tried to recover and then back at it. I cried when he sang DIMYP. Not only because he dedicated it to the troops and all the armed services (my dad was in the navy,a lot of my friends are or have parents in ,the military; and San Diego is a Military Town/City), but also because he did make me proud. I was a mess. A happy mess. The entire set was awesome. I could not believe I was there, listening to him and seeing him perform. It was pure joy. ![]() courtesy of jeterarodfan213
