"Over the last decade, Sharks team owner Hasso Plattner has invested more than $100 million to maintain and upgrade the city-owned facility, despite having no obligation to do so. Notable improvements include a new center hung scoreboard and 360-degree LED ribbon board, a new ice-making plant, enhanced security systems, improved air flow ventilation and circulation, multiple updates to the food and beverage experience to ensure quicker transactions and shorter lines, a new premium experience dubbed the NetApp Celly Lounge, and many more."
"Since opening its doors in September 1993, SAP Center has proudly welcomed more than 50 million guests through its doors to more than 5,000 events, generating nearly $10 billion of economic benefit to downtown San Jose by filling hotel rooms and downtown restaurants and businesses. Annually, the Sharks, SAP Center, and Sharks Ice at San Jose (@sharksice) average approximately 2.5 million visitors to its venues, supporting 2,740 jobs and contributing nearly $300M million in economic impact to the City of San Jose."
