It won’t be cheap for Sharks/shark fans. Mercury News is reporting seats at the BMW Lounge will run between $300 and $500 a game – upwards of $13,000 for the season.
Designed by Acrylic Tank Manufacturing, the subject of popular Animal Planet TV show “Tanked,” SAP Center’s aquarium will be featured on an upcoming episode of the show, according to NBC Bay Area.
The team is already having fun with its new attraction. On their website, the Sharks posted a special “Fish are Friends” edition of power rankings on Friday, ranking the six best creatures in the tank. Spoiler alert: No. 1 is a shark.
