Save Mart Center Venue Information

Situated at 2650 East Shaw Avenue, Fresno, CA 93710, the Save Mart Center is a cornerstone of Fresno State’s campus. Built for over $100 million, funded largely by private donations and a $40 million naming rights deal with Save Mart Supermarkets, the arena opened with a concert by Andrea Bocelli in November 2003. Its 13-story Larry A. Shehadey Clock Tower and Elayne Shehadey Lobby honor key donors, adding a touch of local pride. Managed by ASM Global, the venue hosts over 100 events yearly, from NCAA tournaments to major tours.

The arena features three levels—event floor, main concourse, and upper concourse—plus a club-level mezzanine with 32 luxury suites and eight party suites. Amenities include concession stands with local farm-to-fork options, multiple restrooms, and family zones. Safety policies restrict bags to small clutches (4.5″ x 6.5″) or clear bags, and tailgating is prohibited. Parking is plentiful, with North lots off Matoian Street and East lots off Chestnut Avenue; premium parking costs $25 for non-athletic events. Rideshare drop-offs are near the main entrance, and public transit is limited, so plan accordingly. For inquiries, call 559-278-3400 or visit savemartcenter.com for event schedules and policies.
