Prepare to enter Snapdragon Stadium...

First time visitor? Start with our FAQ.

BEFORE YOUR EVENT — Figure out how to get here. The Trolley drops you at the door, or check our rideshare guide. Driving? Read up on parking and whether to buy a pass in advance (you probably should). Check the seat map and for daytime events, which sections are in the sun. Here's the weather. Know which items are allowed, the bag policy, and that the venue is cashless — cards and mobile pay only. You can bring an empty water bottle to refill inside. You can also take a stadium tour on non-event days.

AT THE STADIUM — Know the entrance gates and have your mobile tickets loaded to your wallet before you arrive (cell service can be spotty). Scope out where to eat and drink — local favorites like Hodad's, The Taco Stand, and Cali BBQ are all inside. Don't miss the Team Store. Be sure to download the stadium app for mobile ordering and wayfinding.

AFTER THE EVENT — Getting out is the hardest part. Our exit guide has strategies for beating rideshare surge pricing and avoiding the parking lot gridlock. The Trolley runs every 15 minutes post-event — it's often the fastest way home.
