What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's January 25th for the San Jose Sharks. Let's get into it. Follow and subscribe for more team news every day. The San Jose Sharks are set to transform SAP Center into a literal shark tank. Last August, the team in the city of San Jose agreed on $425 million in funding to bring the arena up to NHL standards. Major upgrades to the building structure and concourse will roll out over the next five to seven years, putting the Sharks theme front and center. A new website launches by the end of next week with early preview images of the changes, all approved by the city.
What major changes are planned for SAP Center's revamp?
Expect monthly updates there for the next two or three years as plans get finalized. Plus, a puck drop event in March will reveal even more visuals of the future arena. SAP Center started as a multi-purpose venue, but now they want every corner to scream San Jose Sharks. Picture an oceanic theme everywhere, with layers inspired by the deep sea, different sharks, and lighting to match. No actual water, though, just the immersive vibe. Crowded concourses are a big issue when 13,000 or 14,000 fans pack in, so they're adding space by shifting 4,000 to 5,000 people to extra levels.
Modern arenas use two or three concourses instead of one, and they'll better tap the bottom arena level and top penthouse with outdoor-indoor spots too. Enjoy San Jose's sunny weather.
Officials call it a full revamp, keeping the building alive for Sharks games and the 100 other events it hosts each year. Soon, the Shark Tank nickname won't just be talk. It will feel real for every visitor. The Daily News Now is powered by our sponsor. When I need calm, I press play on a Sully pillow.
