Fans in the Central Valley Support Arena Football
Stockton and the Central Valley have a positive history with Arena Pro Football. From 2006-09, the Stockton Lightning averaged over 5,000 fans per home game. The 2015 Arena Bowl Championship was played at Stockton Arena in front of 9,115 fans and the SJ Sabercats defeated the Jacksonville Sharks.
Now, a new era of Arena Pro Football begins in the Central Valley that has a population of more than 7 Million people and growing in a Top 20 market. In fact, the number of people living in the Central Valley is greater than that of more than 30 states in America, respectfully. We greatly appreciate the good people of Stockton and the Central Valley.
Millions of people in the region are welcoming, proud, humble, fun and family-focused, and their hard work does not go unnoticed. Rest assured we are going to provide the fans with a dynamic product and great value - featuring an affordable, family-friendly and exciting Arena Pro Football experience to remember. Best of all, after every home game, our pro football players will be signing autographs and meeting with the fans to show their sincere appreciation, regardless of the outcome of the game.
There is not a bad seat in the house inside the beautiful confines of Adventist Health Arena, and it holds nearly 10,000 fans for an Arena Pro Football game. Go Crusaders!
