Parking Lot Entry Gates

Four main gates lead into the parking lots, plus a fifth that opens only for San Diego FC matches. This can be confusing on gameday, but there are ample signs to follow as you get close to the stadium. Try to be nice and even consider yielding to the clown who appears to be trying to cut you off.

Each lot has its own entry route. Show up at the wrong gate and you’ll be turned around, so check your parking pass before you leave home.
