Hilmer Lodge Stadium is located on the Mount San Antonio College (Mt. SAC) campus in Walnut, CA. It is the football stadium for the community college and hosts the famous Mt. SAC Relays, which is a track and field festival held annually in April. The Relays attract elite athletes from around the world and plenty of spectators too.
Hilmer Lodge Stadium was named after Hilmer Lodge, who died in 1977. He was a part of the inaugural Mt. SAC Relays Hall of Fame and the actual inventor of the relay race. The Stadium was one of the host facilities for the 1968 Olympic trials. Hilmer Lodge features seating on both sides of the playing field with a seating capacity of 15,000 and a natural grass playing field. There is no seating at either end zone of the field.
It is a great facility, however because of the lack of parking at the large Mt. Sac Community College, it can be a real frustrating effort to come here and try and park while school is in session. I deducted 1 YELP STAR for that. read more
