Rent a Bus to PayPal Park: Earthquakes & Bay FC Group Guide

If you are moving a group of 15, 30, or 56 people to a match at PayPal Park, the question that decides whether your evening goes smoothly is deceptively simple: where does the bus actually drop your group off, and what happens to it while you are inside? Most sites skip right past that detail. This one answers it plainly, using the stadium's own published information, and then walks you through everything else a group trip needs: which vehicle fits your crew, what drives the price, how the LuxBus and BART shuttle fit into the picture, and what the tailgate rules say you can and cannot bring to the Ford Tailgate Lot.

Party Bus In San Jose coordinates group transportation to PayPal Park for Earthquakes and Bay FC matches all season long — fan groups, corporate outings, supporter sections traveling together, and out-of-town guests who land at SJC and need a direct transfer. The advice below comes from doing it, not from a brochure. By the end you will know the exact drop-off zone, which lot number oversized vehicles target, and how to plan the whole day so your group arrives together and leaves without chasing surge pricing across Coleman Avenue at midnight.

Why a San Jose Party Bus or Charter Bus Makes Sense for PayPal Park

PayPal Park sits just off Highway 101 in North San Jose, which sounds convenient until you arrive on match day. The De La Cruz Boulevard exit is the recommended approach — it lets you turn directly right into the parking lots rather than waiting for a left turn from I-880 and Coleman Avenue, which can back up for blocks. That detail matters when your group is in three separate cars and nobody wants to hold the tailgate while one vehicle circles the lot looking for the turn.

A San Jose charter bus rental removes that variable entirely: one vehicle, one approach, one turn, and the whole group arrives together.

There is also a garage height restriction that surprises first-timers. Parking Structures PS1, PS2, and PS4 all have a seven-foot maximum vehicle height — which means every SUV with a rooftop box and every rental van with a raised roof gets redirected. A full-size charter bus bypasses the garages and uses the designated charter drop-off zone instead, a far cleaner solution than watching half your group get turned away at a garage entrance.

The math is worth running. PS1, the closest lot to the main gate, costs $55 per vehicle. For a group that arrived in four cars, that is $220 in parking alone before the match even starts.

A single San Jose party bus rental splits one flat rate across the entire group — and nobody draws straws for who has to stay sober and navigate the post-match traffic out of the Coleman Avenue corridor.

Charter Bus Drop-Off at PayPal Park: Location #7 on Aviation Avenue

Here is the detail that separates an organized group arrival from a scramble. According to the stadium's own published transportation guidance, buses are not permitted to park on site at PayPal Park. Instead, charter and oversized vehicles use the designated pick-up and drop-off location #7, which sits at the south end of Aviation Avenue.

That is the same zone designated for rideshare pickups via Lyft (the official rideshare partner) and Uber — specifically the corner of Wondo Way and Aviation Avenue — so it is a well-marked, well-used zone that stadium staff knows how to direct groups toward.

Your group steps off at Location #7, walks to the main gate on Earthquakes Way, and the bus waits off-site until the match ends. Pre-arrange a clear post-match pickup window before the group splits up at the gate — Earthquakes Way fills quickly after the final whistle, and having a confirmed meeting spot and time means your group walks out to a waiting bus instead of competing with 18,000 other fans for a rideshare in the dark.

Confirm the Approach Route When You Book

The recommended vehicle approach is the De La Cruz Boulevard exit from Highway 101, not the Coleman Avenue route off I-880. Coming from De La Cruz, you turn right directly into the parking area without crossing oncoming traffic — a small thing in normal conditions, a meaningful difference when 18,000 people are converging on the same block. For a charter bus carrying 40 people, a missed turn means a long loop back through the surface-street grid around Guadalupe River Park and SJC's approach corridors.

Stadium-adjacent streets also shift on high-attendance matches and any night the Earthquakes sell out the place. We confirm the approach routing for your specific match date when you book, because a guide written once may not account for a road closure or a temporary traffic pattern the city implements for a playoff game. Call 415-796-8307 and our team will sort the route details before your group leaves the driveway.

PayPal Park Transportation: Every Option Compared

PayPal Park has more public transit connections than most Bay Area soccer venues, which is genuinely useful context. Here is the honest picture for a group making the decision between a private bus and the alternatives.

The honest read: for one or two people, the LuxBus from downtown or the BART shuttle from Berryessa is often the cleanest, cheapest call — there is no reason to charter a bus for a pair. But the moment your party grows past what fits in two cars, the coordination cost of public transit — herding a group of 20 onto the same LuxBus run when capacity is explicitly limited, or managing a caravan of families with strollers through the Berryessa BART connection — tips toward one bus. That is the group the rest of this guide is written for.

The LuxBus and BART Shuttle, Explained

LuxBus (Earthquakes matches only). The Earthquakes run a complimentary shuttle that picks up fans from the corner of Market Street and St. John Street, near San Pedro Square in downtown San Jose. Two buses alternate the route.

The schedule varies by kickoff time: for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff, buses depart every 30 minutes starting at 5:30 p.m. and run until kickoff; post-match service runs from 9:30 to 10:45 p.m. For a 4:00 p.m. match, pregame service starts at 2:00 p.m. The bus drops at Coleman Avenue pregame and picks up outside the Main Gate on Earthquakes Way postgame.

One important note: space is explicitly limited per bus, and the LuxBus is not available for Bay FC matches — only Earthquakes fixtures. If your group is attending a Bay FC match, this option simply does not exist. Check the official LuxBus page for your specific match date and departure times before counting on it.

BART complimentary shuttle (all matches). A free shuttle runs between the Berryessa/North San Jose BART Station and PayPal Park for both Earthquakes and Bay FC matches. Shuttles to the stadium begin two hours before kickoff; return service starts 15 minutes after the final whistle and runs approximately one hour.

Upon exiting the Berryessa station, look for the LuxBus vehicles in the marked pickup zone on the northbound side of Berryessa Station Way. The shuttle drops at the corner of Earthquakes Way and Coleman Avenue. For a group catching BART from Fremont, Oakland, or San Francisco, this is a legitimate connection — but you still need everyone on the same train, and post-match BART platforms get crowded fast.

Review the current shuttle schedule on the Bay FC getting-here page before your match day.

VTA Route 60. VTA's Route 60 runs directly to Coleman Avenue and Earthquakes Way, stopping in front of the stadium. It connects to Caltrain at the Santa Clara station and to BART at the Berryessa Transit Center.

For groups arriving by Caltrain, the Santa Clara station puts you roughly 15–20 minutes on foot from the stadium, or a quick Route 60 hop. Useful context, but for a group with tailgate gear, strollers, or anyone who wants a drink on the way there, a private bus is the simpler answer. Check schedules on VTA's website before travel day.

What Size Bus Does Your Group Need?

The right vehicle comes down to your headcount and how much you are bringing. PayPal Park's tailgate rules limit setups to the area directly in front of or behind your vehicle in the Ford Tailgate Lot, so a group arriving by charter bus with a cooler in the undercarriage bay and a folding table is working within the rules — the gear rides to the lot and your group tailgates out of the bus's storage.

For fan groups wanting the energy to start before the stadium gates open, a San Jose party bus rental gives you a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, and a sound system to build from the pickup point all the way to Location #7 on Aviation Avenue. For larger outings — a company that buys a group sales block, a supporters section traveling together from the South Bay — a full-size charter bus handles the whole crew in one coordinated move and gives you undercarriage bays deep enough for a cooler, folding chairs, and the team scarves without anyone holding anything on their lap. ADA-accessible vehicles are available — let us know before your match date and we will have the right vehicle ready.

Parking Lots, Tailgating Rules & What to Know Before You Arrive

PayPal Park's lots are color-coded by proximity and price. Parking Structure 1 (PS1) is the premium option at $55 — closest to the main gate but also the fastest to fill. PS2 runs $36, Structure 4 and the Ford Tailgate Lot each run $30, and ADA parking is $30 in the Audi Lot off Newhall Drive (valid ADA placard required).

All structures have a maximum vehicle height of seven feet, which eliminates most vans, SUVs with raised profiles, and anything with roof-mounted cargo. Cash is not accepted anywhere on site — credit card, debit card, or mobile payment only. Pre-purchase through Tixr (the Earthquakes' official ticketing partner) or on the Bay FC site before you arrive; lots can sell out for high-demand matches, and the De La Cruz approach gets backed up when everyone arrives at the same time looking for a day-of space.

Tailgating is permitted in the Ford Tailgate Lot only. The rules are specific: you must stay in the area directly in front of or behind your vehicle, and your setup cannot impede vehicle or foot traffic. No wandering setups, no reserving space for friends who have not arrived yet.

The Ford Tailgate Lot opens three hours before kickoff for MLS matches; weeknight Bay FC matches may vary. For a group arriving by charter bus, the practical approach is to drop at Location #7, walk to the tailgate lot, set up in the assigned area, and have the bus wait off-site. Check the official parking and directions page before your match day to confirm current tailgate hours and any match-specific restrictions.

Clear Bag Policy

Every guest entering PayPal Park must comply with the clear bag policy. Approved bags: one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12” x 12” x 6”, or a one-gallon clear zip-lock bag. Small clutches or non-clear fanny packs up to 4.5” x 6.5” are also permitted.

Diaper bags are allowed when accompanying children. Non-compliant bags can be stored for free at the bag check trailer outside the Main Gate on Earthquakes Way — but storing a bag for 20 people in a group adds time at entry, so brief your crew before the bus arrives at Location #7. Read the PayPal Park A-Z Guide for the full list of policies before your visit.

Food, Drink & Re-Entry

One factory-sealed, 32 oz or smaller plastic water bottle per person is permitted inside; outside food and coolers are not. The no re-entry policy is strict — once your group is inside, anyone who steps out needs supervisor authorization to return. Brief the group before they go through the gate, not after.

Gates open 90 minutes before weeknight kickoffs and two hours before weekend matches — the box office opens roughly 2.5 hours before kickoff. Free Wi-Fi is available on the GoQuakes network. No smoking anywhere on the grounds.

What a San Jose Bus Rental to PayPal Park Costs

Party Bus In San Jose provides all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you will know the exact number before you ever book. Your quote depends on vehicle size, how many hours the bus is reserved (including any pre-match staging or post-match wait), the specific match date, and your pickup location. A weeknight Earthquakes fixture on a Tuesday prices differently than a Bay FC weekend sellout or a high-demand playoff match.

For real ranges to anchor your budget: 14-passenger Sprinter limos and vans run $170–$344 per hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378 per hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414 per hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490 per hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300 per hour. Pricing depends on mileage, time of year, and vehicle type, and you will never be surprised by hidden costs.

Here is the per-person math that settles the debate. A group of 30 in a mid-size party bus at $300/hour for a four-hour block works out to roughly $40 per person — compared to $55 in PS1 parking per car, plus gas from the South Bay, plus the return surge fare if anyone splits off into a rideshare after the match. Once your group clears ten or twelve people, the private bus is typically simpler and often cheaper per head than the caravan-and-park approach.

A Real Match-Day Example

Here is what a typical Earthquakes match run looks like for a group. Twenty-four coworkers from a Sunnyvale tech company booked a 25-passenger party bus for a Saturday evening Earthquakes match. Pickup was at 5:00 PM from a central Sunnyvale office, at Location #7 on Aviation Avenue by 5:45 PM — two and a half hours before kickoff.

The group walked to the Ford Tailgate Lot with a cooler and a folding table stored in the undercarriage bay, set up in the space behind the drop-off zone, and tailgated through 7:00 PM. After the match, the bus waited on Aviation Avenue for a 9:45 PM pickup. The 5.5-hour all-inclusive rental came to roughly $55 per person — about the same as PS1 parking per car, but everyone rode together, nobody drove after the match, and the group kept the energy going the whole way home.

Getting There: Routes, Traffic & Timing From Across Silicon Valley

PayPal Park's North San Jose location makes it genuinely accessible from across the South Bay — but accessible does not mean easy on match nights. Highway 101's De La Cruz exit is the recommended approach, and for good reason: southbound 101 traffic from San Francisco and the Peninsula backs up toward the Guadalupe Parkway interchange on busy evenings, and the Coleman Avenue corridor sees its own congestion once fans start funneling toward the lot entrances. Approximate drive times from common pickup points before match-day traffic:

Those numbers stretch quickly on Friday evening matches and any Saturday when Highway 101 is carrying both commuter overflow and stadium-bound traffic from the Peninsula. The upside of a charter bus rental is that we handle the route for you: we build the De La Cruz routing into the plan, account for the lot layout, and factor in your post-match pickup window so the bus is ready and waiting when your group exits — while everyone who drove is still waiting for the Coleman Avenue traffic to move. Build in extra time for travel during the Earthquakes' early-season February and March home matches, when rain can slow the 101/87 interchange well beyond normal ranges.

Out-of-Town Groups: SJC Airport Transfers & Hotel Pickups

San José Mineta International Airport (SJC) sits roughly two miles from PayPal Park — a five-to-ten minute bus ride under normal conditions. For Bay FC and Earthquakes watch parties where guests are flying in from Los Angeles, Portland, or Seattle, a direct SJC-to-PayPal Park transfer is one of the cleanest group arrival options in Bay Area sports. One bus collects the entire traveling party at the SJC ground transportation curb, swings two miles up Coleman Avenue, and drops at Location #7 — no connection, no consolidation point, no waiting for multiple rideshares to show up from the cell phone lot.

For groups staying in downtown San Jose — near the Convention Center, Fairmont, or the San Pedro Square Market district — the pickup is equally simple. The Earthquakes' own LuxBus actually departs from the Market/St. John intersection near San Pedro Square, which tells you exactly where fan traffic naturally converges before a match. A private charter bus picks your hotel block up at that same corner on a schedule that works for your group, instead of hoping everyone reaches the LuxBus stop before the limited-capacity shuttle fills up.

Groups traveling from the Peninsula — Palo Alto, Redwood City, or the Caltrain corridor — can consolidate at a central pickup point and ride down 101 together. That is a better option than the Caltrain-to-Santa-Clara-station route, which puts you 15–20 minutes on foot from the main gate or dependent on Route 60 bus timing that does not account for your group's schedule.

2026 Earthquakes & Bay FC: What to Know Before You Plan

Both teams share PayPal Park, which means the stadium is in use across a very long window — Bay FC opens NWSL play in March and the Earthquakes run their MLS home slate from February through the playoff window in November. That overlap creates some of the best group outing opportunities in the Bay Area sports calendar, but it also means demand for group transportation clusters around specific high-interest dates.

San Jose Earthquakes 2026. The Earthquakes open their 2026 home slate on February 21 against Sporting Kansas City and play through October before the MLS Cup Playoffs. Two matches are exceptions to the PayPal Park home schedule: the California Clásico against the LA Galaxy moves to Stanford Stadium in July, and the Mexican Heritage Night match against LAFC goes to Levi’s Stadium in September.

Every other home fixture runs at PayPal Park. The Earthquakes have also announced early high-profile home matchups against Seattle Sounders and San Diego FC — these are the dates where PS1 fills first and the De La Cruz exit gets congested an hour before the lots even open. Check the official Earthquakes events page for the current match calendar.

Bay FC 2026. Bay FC opens their third NWSL campaign with back-to-back PayPal Park home matches, hosting expansion side Denver Summit FC on March 14 and Angel City FC on March 21. The 2026 NWSL season expands to 30 matches per team to accommodate two new expansion clubs, which means more home matches than prior seasons and a longer window of PayPal Park action through fall.

Bay FC home matches routinely generate strong attendance among women’s soccer supporters across the Bay Area, and the Berryessa BART shuttle is available for these matches (unlike the LuxBus, which is Earthquakes-only). Visit the Bay FC schedule for the full 2026 home calendar.

Playoff and championship matches. PayPal Park hosted the 2025 NWSL Championship in November, a sold-out final between Gotham FC and the Washington Spirit. Championship-level matches at PayPal Park attract out-of-town fans who need coordinated group transfers from SJC, downtown San Jose hotels, or BART connections — and they are the dates where LuxBus capacity fills fastest and rideshare surge pricing spikes hardest after the final whistle.

If your group is planning around a playoff match, do not assume the LuxBus is your fallback. Book early. For any fixture that could sell out or draw elevated attendance, vehicles go fast.

Trip Types We Cover to PayPal Park

Different groups, same destination. A few of the most common runs:

• Supporter section travel. The Earthquakes' San Jose Ultras (north end) and Seismic Union, plus Bay FC's Bridge Brigade and Big Poppies in Sections 117 and 118 — organized supporter groups traveling together from all over the South Bay. One charter bus or party bus keeps the pre-match energy contained and the post-match exit coordinated.
• Corporate group sales blocks. Tech companies in Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino regularly buy group sales blocks at PayPal Park as team outings. A shuttle from the office park to Location #7 and back covers the whole event without anyone managing designated drivers or parking reimbursements.
• Out-of-town fan groups. Groups flying into SJC for a rival team's Bay Area visit — LAFC supporters, Seattle Sounders away fans, Portland fans making the trip south — who need a direct SJC-to-stadium transfer.
• Birthday and celebration groups. A match tied to a milestone celebration, with the party bus doing the work on the way there and back. Sixty-LED-fixture party bus plus two hours of Bay FC soccer is a match-day fave for the 25–40 crowd in the South Bay.
• School and youth sports groups. Youth soccer programs taking their players and parents to a pro match for inspiration. A 35-passenger minibus handles a team and their families in one coordinated pickup from a Santa Clara or Milpitas training ground.

If your group spans multiple hotels, office locations, or neighborhoods across the South Bay, we coordinate multi-stop pickups into a single route before the bus ever reaches Coleman Avenue. Call 415-796-8307 and we will build the itinerary around your group’s geography.

Leaving PayPal Park After the Match

Post-match is where a charter bus earns its keep most decisively at PayPal Park. When 18,000 fans exit at once, the Coleman Avenue corridor gets backed up well past the Guadalupe River, the Lyft and Uber zones on Aviation Avenue and Wondo Way fill with waiting fans, and rideshare surge pricing kicks in hard — matches that end after 10 p.m. on weeknights are particularly brutal for anyone who did not pre-arrange their ride home.

With a private bus, you skip all of it. You agree on a pickup window and meeting point on Aviation Avenue before your group passes through the gate, the bus waits off-site during the match, and it is right there when your group walks out — no surge fare, no 20-minute wait, no half the group deciding to walk to a different pickup zone. Post-match service on the LuxBus ends approximately 75 minutes after the final whistle, and the BART shuttle from Earthquakes Way runs approximately one hour post-match before service stops.

A private bus leaves when your group is ready, not when a public schedule decides you should.

Tips for Visiting PayPal Park

• Pre-purchase parking before you leave home. Parking lots open three hours before kickoff and high-demand matches fill PS1 and PS2 well before gates open. Buy through Tixr or the Bay FC site in advance; there is no guarantee of day-of availability in the close lots.
• Use De La Cruz Boulevard, not Coleman from I-880. The right turn off De La Cruz directly into the lot complex is faster and avoids the left-turn backup that forms on Coleman Avenue when traffic coming off I-880 backs up toward the Guadalupe. Build this into your charter bus routing from the start.
• Brief your group on the clear bag policy before arrival. Bag check at the Main Gate trailer is free but adds time at entry for a large group. Groups of 20+ who each need to check a bag create a backlog that chews into your pre-match time. Tell the group what is allowed before the bus leaves the pickup point.
• Remind everyone: no re-entry. Once your group is inside, anyone who steps out for any reason needs supervisor authorization to return. If someone needs to get something from the bus, they need to plan for it before they go through the gate.
• Bring only one sealed water per person. Coolers and outside beverages are not permitted inside. The Ford Tailgate Lot is the place for outside food and drinks; once you go through the gate, you are buying inside.
• Accessible parking is in the Audi Lot off Newhall Drive. ADA parking requires a valid placard and registration at entry. If anyone in your group needs accessible drop-off, Location #7 on Aviation Avenue is a short, flat walk to the Main Gate and accessible entry points, including the Audi Gate near Section 113.

Booking Your PayPal Park Bus

Booking a San Jose bus rental to PayPal Park is straightforward, and a little lead time makes the whole day cleaner:

1. Request a quote with your group size, pickup location(s), the match date, and whether you want pre-match staging time at the Ford Tailgate Lot or a direct drop at Location #7.
2. Confirm the vehicle and drop-off routing. We verify the current approach route and confirm the Aviation Avenue drop zone for your specific match date.
3. Set your post-match pickup window. Agree on a meeting spot and a time before the group separates at the gate — the bus waits off-site and comes back on schedule, so your group exits to a waiting vehicle instead of a 20-minute rideshare queue.

For most weeknight Earthquakes and Bay FC matches, two to three weeks of lead time is workable. For playoff matches, any fixture expected to sell out, or high-profile rivalry nights, book as soon as your tickets are confirmed. The South Bay party bus and charter bus supply gets thin on marquee dates — and unlike the parking structures, you cannot buy a same-day spot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does a charter bus drop off at PayPal Park?

Charter and oversized buses drop at Location #7 on the south end of Aviation Avenue, which is also the stadium's designated rideshare zone at the corner of Wondo Way and Aviation Avenue. Buses are not permitted to park on site, so pre-arranging your post-match pickup time with our team before the match is essential — the bus waits off-site and returns to Location #7 at the agreed window.

Can a charter bus park at PayPal Park?

No. The parking structures at PayPal Park have a maximum vehicle height of seven feet, and charter buses are directed to the designated drop-off zone at Location #7 rather than any on-site lot. The bus drops your group, waits off-site during the match, and returns for pickup at a pre-arranged time.

Is the LuxBus available for Bay FC matches?

No. The complimentary LuxBus shuttle from downtown San Jose (Market Street and St. John Street, near San Pedro Square) runs only for San Jose Earthquakes MLS matches. For Bay FC matches, the BART shuttle from Berryessa/North San Jose station is available, along with VTA Route 60, rideshare at Aviation Avenue, and private charter transportation. If your group is attending a Bay FC match, do not plan around the LuxBus.

How much does it cost to park at PayPal Park?

Parking prices run from $30 in Structure 4 and the Ford Tailgate Lot to $36 in PS2 and $55 in PS1 (the closest structure to the main gate). ADA parking in the Audi Lot off Newhall Drive is $30. All parking must be pre-purchased through Tixr or the Bay FC site — cash is not accepted.

Structures have a seven-foot maximum vehicle height. For a group that drove separately, that is $55 per car in PS1 before any other costs; a private bus splits one flat rental rate across the entire group.

How much does it cost to rent a bus to PayPal Park?

Pricing depends on vehicle size, the number of hours reserved (including staging or post-match wait time), the match date, and your pickup location. Ranges: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; small party buses (15–20 passengers) run $204–$378/hour; mid-size (20–30) run $244–$414/hour; large party buses and minibuses (35–50) run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour. Call 415-796-8307 or use the online tool for an all-inclusive quote in under 30 seconds — no hidden costs, no surprises.

Where is the tailgate area at PayPal Park?

Tailgating is permitted in the Ford Tailgate Lot only. You must stay within the area directly in front of or behind your vehicle and cannot impede foot or vehicle traffic. The lot opens three hours before kickoff for MLS matches.

Outside food and coolers brought to the tailgate lot are fine — but none of it can be brought inside the stadium. Check the official parking and directions page before your match for current tailgate hours.

What is the bag policy at PayPal Park?

One clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12” x 12” x 6”, or a one-gallon clear zip-lock bag, is permitted. Small clutches or non-clear fanny packs up to 4.5” x 6.5” are allowed. Non-compliant bags can be stored free at the bag check trailer outside the Main Gate on Earthquakes Way.

Brief your group before the bus pulls up to Location #7 — a large group sorting out bag issues at the gate entry point adds time for everyone. See the full PayPal Park A-Z guide.

How far is PayPal Park from SJC airport?

About two miles — a five-to-ten minute charter bus ride from the SJC ground transportation curb to the drop-off zone on Aviation Avenue. For groups flying in for a match, a direct SJC-to-PayPal Park transfer is one of the cleanest sports group arrival options in the Bay Area. No connections, no consolidation, and no one navigating the Route 60 bus schedule with carry-ons in hand.

When should I book a bus for a Bay FC or Earthquakes playoff match?

As early as your tickets are confirmed. Playoff matches, the NWSL championship (PayPal Park hosted the 2025 final), and high-profile rivalry fixtures draw out-of-town fans and compress South Bay transportation supply quickly. For regular-season weeknight fixtures with moderate attendance, two to three weeks of lead time is generally workable.

For anything that could sell out — early season home openers, the California Clásico context matches, or any NWSL knockout round — book when you have your tickets in hand. Call 415-796-8307 today to lock in your date.
