You Know You’re From San Diego When…

You Still Call It The Sports Arena

We only know it is as The Sports Arena since we were born here, and to us, it will always be. No matter who buys it out or takes it over, the now Valley View Casino Center will always be the Sports Arena to locals.

Housing the Gulls hockey games now and back in the day, and some pretty epic concerts with massive mosh pits- the Sports Arena is home. Only real locals know that the Sports Arena was actually used as the concert venue in the iconic film Almost Famous. (Many don’t realize it, even though it looks exactly the same! We will never give in to calling it anything but this, so don’t ask!
