Snapdragon Visitors Guide
Snapdragon Stadium sits where Qualcomm Stadium used to (if a local says "the Murph," same spot). It's home to SDSU Aztecs football, San Diego FC (MLS) and the San Diego Wave (NWSL), plus concerts and big events like Monster Jam. In 2028 it's an Olympic venue, under the name "San Diego Stadium."
Going for the first time? Here's what actually matters. Everything else is in the FAQ, including accessibility.
BEFORE YOU GO
Mind the sun.
There's no roof, so day games get hot. Pick your seats with shade in mind, and bring a water bottle to refill inside.

Pack a clear bag.
The size limit is smaller than most people think, and the stadium is cashless.
Bag policy · What you can bring
Prepay parking.
It's cheaper, and Fenton Marketplace is off-limits for event parking. Better yet? Take the trolley, which stops right at the stadium.
