The Orange Lot is east of Snapdragon Stadium and a go-to lot for tailgating. See the tailgating guide for the rules.

Enter at Gate 1 (Mission Village Drive), Gate 2 (San Diego Mission Road) or Gate 3 (Rancho Mission Road). For San Diego FC matches, Orange Lot access narrows to Gate 1 or Gate 3.

A standard or general admission parking pass is good in either the Orange Lot or the Yellow Lot, subject to availability.

Note: The lot surface is unpaved gravel. Keep this in mind if you are planning on tailgating or wearing cute shoes. Dirt is dirty. Dust is dusty.

Construction Zone

Part of the Orange Lot is fenced off, and it isn’t coming back as parking. Two apartment projects are going up on the lot’s footprint east of the stadium:

• Avalon Mission Valley: 621 apartments plus about 30,000 square feet of ground-floor retail anchored by a grocery store. Expected to open in early 2028.
• Addison: 126 affordable apartments, with first residents as early as 2028.

Less lot means fewer spaces. Buy parking ahead, especially for SDSU football and big concerts.

RV Parking

The Orange Lot is the only lot at Snapdragon that takes oversize vehicles: RVs, limos, shuttles, buses and motorcoaches. Anything larger than 8.5 feet by 14 feet needs an RV pass, and oversize vehicles without one are turned away. Buses enter at Gate 1.
