The Save Mart Center is an incredible place in Fresno State, where you can enjoy variety of activities and sports with friends and family! The place is very tidy and well-structured! Best fit for the location on the busy road! Wonderful atmosphere! Highly recommend visiting Save Mart Center to everyone!

We had a great time for pitbull (rapper) concert. The doors open at 7pm by 6:20 there was already a line at the front doors. Parking was very easy since we arrived on time we paid $15 for parking just in front on the entrance. The staff is very organized & polite. Fast entrance to the center. There is a lot beer & cocktails stands. You can also get food like pizza, nachos, hot dogs, pretzels.

Excellent venue. Great location. Customer service is great and the prices arent bad either. Again I cant stress how well the customer service was. I recommend purchasing the suite. Although, towards the end of the show people try coming into the suite because there are no locks and there are no Ushers. Ticket checks are a must so please be on guard hopefully they Implement some type of room key soon. All in all five out of five stars.

Watched the Harlem Globetrotters here. Clean, nice facility in good condition with comfortable seats, clean bathrooms, ample snack bars. Neighborhood is right next to university. Variety of fast food restaurants nearby. Parking was reasonable ($15) and close. Awesomely nice security and ushers. They looked you in the eye and were warm in their greetings and wished us a good time several times over. They helped us get where we needed to be, ran everything on time. Only small problem was we never could find the flag during the Star Spangled banner.

Went here for the first time to see the Elton John concert. Not only did I have a blast, but the building was very easy to get around. The chairs were comfortable, and the service of the people working there was wonderful. Had a good experience all around! Cant wait till the next concert!

There was not a bad seat in the house for Metallica. They still play and sound amazing. Save Mart Center was a great venue. The drinks were a bit hefty in price but its seems they all are no matter where you see live entertainment. Sound was perfect. Never had a bad experience at the Save Mart Center.

KISS at Save Mart Center , terrific show,make sure you park in right spot or risk being towed,you will be screened by metal detector ,bring your own bottle,drinks are $10-$13 each.Eat before you come too.Stairs are very steep and seats are cramped.If you get stuck with upper bad seats keep your eyes open for vacant seats at lower levels then gradually work your way down to them.Nobody is really paying attention.If you smoke weed bring it,everybody else does.Pay attention to exits when parking,getting out first and knowing where you are going is important.If you get a chance to buy a t -shirt outside,buy it,they are up to $50 inside.Be prepared for smoke from band props,the ventilation at stadium sucks.Buying tickets from Ticketmaster is hella expensive but the most securest way.You must have a cell phone for downloading tickets.The stadium otherwise is roomy,good security and offers fairly fast service to restrooms,food and drink lines.

Went to see Monster Jam, facility was fine, just watch where u sit. I had a kid dribble or spill his drink on me from up top. But the place is cool if u can find parking where u dont have to pay $15

Great place to go to for events. I went to so many concerts and always been happy with how big the event gets and how packed with local Fresno people are rocking out to a concert or just jamming to anything music related. I can only speak on concert events. Had a blast Everytime.

The venue is nice but I really wish there was a way of having the food and drinks stalls inside had more variety and few more of them. It sucks to have to stand in line for 30+ minutes just to get a drink.

Its amazing to go there and see the performances. The place is huge and the view is amazing. With the chairs were just a lil bigger tho , kinda hurt my hips.

Nice venue well setup. Friendly staff the reason Im only leaving 2 stars is because they do not enforce their own no smoking indoors policy. Seen Korn and Breaking Benjamin today and lots of people were smoking weed and cigarettes.Huge turn off for a 250 mile drive and the money I spent on tickets. And security didnt seem interested in making it stop. I heard others complain and get the response what would you like us to do about it so I didnt bother making the same complaint.Would be nice if I was contacted by management to discuss.

I have seen several concerts here. I love that we have such a versatile venue so close to home. This months Metallica concert has to be one of my top ten favorite concerts of all time. Thank you, Save Mart Center, for bringing the music I want to hear.

The show was great, but the way the stadium is build doesnt lend its self to the best audio experience. Been there a few times for concerts and it just never sounds right but where else are you going to see be names in the valley.

Not happy with my recent purchase, Bought concert tickets for the worst section and row for 3 times the amount they are going for just a day after I purchased them. Due to Save Mart Center policies they are able to drop prices anytime. Going forward I will not be recommending this venue to anyone, and will not returning myself.

It was my first time here and I had a terrible time. I drove 300 miles to see my favorite band and it was the worst time I have ever had. I was standing in line when a guy on his phone said out loud very loud that he had dope and blow with him for this concert. When I finally got passed security I waited to see if he would be let in. shockingly the security did not surch him at all and let him in the door. When you have you clearly state no smoking the facility then there shouldnt be. I mean no disrespect to people who smoke but it should have been kept outside. I hope that the people who run that venue realize whats goin on and change things. Im sure I wasnt the only one who was bothered by the illegal drug use in their facility.

Saw Like Bryan. Save Mart Center is a great venue. Got in and out fast. Parking needs some help though. And I think they could charge a little less for parking too. Also, they really gouge you on the prices at the vending stands. But I guess that happens at any stadium...

This is my own review of the Save Mart Center in Fresno California. As you can see in my posted photos the venu can seat alot of people,A LOT. That was kinda a problem as we were pretty much packed in there, so tightly that instead of making your way from your seat to the isle (say to use the restroom or to get a beer) saying excuse me pardon me etc. People would just climb over the chairs to make the way out eaiser for them and since the seats were indiv. folding chairs it was a tricky wicket to not have the chair fold up on you while doing so. The seating had great views of the stage but getting to and from the seats really sucked. The sound was very tame, like playing a home stereo loud, so at the end of the concert you walked away without the total concert experiance.A small venu. I am glad i went but would not go to the Save Mart Center for a rock concert again. Maybe a basketball game.

Great venue. Visited last week to see the Harlem Globetrotters. Access is pretty easy and locating our seats took just a couple of minutes. The biggest hang up was the very tight security screening required to get in. A must these days I guess. The game was fun. Except at the far end of the court there really is not a bad seat in the house. Visibility is good. Its just a matter of how close to the action do you want to be.

Was at my brother’s high school graduation back in the summer, people saved the entire rows for their family while there were no reservations. Its first come first serve. Event staff did not help and simply stated “my supervisor is working on it.” Yet they just talked to them and actually did nothing. We had to find seats all the way across the venue which was very frustrating to say the least. How can you have one person save an entire row for their friends/family without any reservations and not do anything about it? Such a bad experience, my parents just wanted to see my brother graduate from his section.. This was a let down by the staff!

Love every time we come here for concerts, my husband was in car accident 5 years ago cant stand for long we get handicap parking with his placqer, they ask if anyone needs accommodations, wheel chair, canes walkers, I asked the gentlemen my husband cant stand long period of time or else his titanium rods, plates and screws he has in his legs get tight and he cant walk. I asked to just let him go inside I could stay in the line and wait. The gentleman took us both. I will be forever grateful. We have came to Savemart Center for Pink, Carrie Underwood. Pitbull and we have always been treated atmost respect. Thank you so much.

Very nice facility. Exiting the parking lot could be handled much better. The congestion while trying to leave was awful. If the had a plan on how to handle the traffic during exit it would be a much better experience. The strawberry lemonade bought during the event was delicious. The restroom was well kept and stocked with soap and paper.

Had excellent seats for bullriding. Paid extra for the chutes to see them blow out up close. Only problem was drunk Uncle Bubba throwing F bombs in front of everyones kids. Thats not the reason for the low score though. Scored low because they stopped selling beer around 9 PM and stopped selling food at 10.

Monster Jam! Loved our seats and the personnel at the Save Mart Center took great care of us. This was the first time I took my grandson and he Did Not like the noise. So the staff directed us to a quiet room which I never knew about. Fabulous. We eventually got back to our seats with my headphones on his ears (I forgot the Monster Jam noise blockers) and he really enjoyed his first time. Hes still talking about it. Personally I just dont like the Trucks being inside. I think there is less noise and more room for tricks outside. So 4 stars instead of 5.

The arena here has three tiers. At the upper tier they no longer have up holders. The premium seats are slightly larger and spaced just a wee bit further apart. Consessions are available on two tiers but, depending on the event, the amount of them that are open, varies.

Its an okay place , but it could be better . The only downside to this place is wen say an artist comest to perform the hallways are pretty crowded and have to zig zag around . Also, the SEATS are way to close to each other to the point where your practically arm to arm with the person sitting next to you .I suggest buying the tickets that have the numbers 1 and 2 on any row to ensure that your on the edge and not stuck between anyone else .
