    We got a suite for quakes game on a Wednesday night. Parking was very easy in the garage, but they do run about 36-55. Very nice clean place. To the left was lots of food trucks , but we were I. A suite and food included. We still head out to get some shots at the bar, several . Bring a jacket, it does get windy. Great time, great place

    Here for the first time and for my first earthquakes game

    This place was awesome for my first time here and for my first San Jose Earthquakes game. There are concession stands as well as food trucks here for food n drinks. But heads up if you need to use the restroom go before the intermission because like are super long and there's only 2 restrooms on each side. The food was a little pricey but not bad but this place is CARD ONLY and do NOT take cash. I would love to go here again for an event again or for another San Jose Earthquakes game. By the way we won the game!

    Warm up time, no hate speed b announcement

    I show up to this place at least once a season. When I lived in San Jose it was more often, but once a season or a few months apart is still part of the Bay Area soccer fan things to do! I have only been to the earthquakes. I attended their season opener last Saturday. All seats have a good view(something to consider if you buying tickets for the first time). Parking requires a decent walk but it's decent. Quite delightful place to watch a game. In previous years I've seen gold cup matches, usmnt friendly, liga mx friendly matches, i still need to attend a bay fc game. Definitely recommend 5/5

    Event & Atmosphere This review is for PayPal Park during a Bay FC women's professional soccer match against Urawa Reds from Japan as part of their summer series. We came to support our local club--this wasn't our first time at the stadium, but it was our first time seeing Bay FC play. I've been to several Earthquakes games over the years but usually focus on other local pro sports. What brought us this time was the Hello Kitty hat giveaway, which sounded like a fun idea for my five-year-old niece, who just started playing soccer and happens to be a huge Hello Kitty fan. The atmosphere was super family-friendly and relaxed. It's really nice to enjoy a summer day outdoors in a chill environment without the hectic energy of larger pro stadiums. Everything felt smooth, organized, and pleasant. Staff & Security We're regulars at Levi's (49ers), Oracle (Giants), and Chase Center (Warriors/Valkyries), and every venue has its own vibe and policies. We found the staff at PayPal Park to be especially kind, patient, and nice--maybe because the crowd energy is more manageable. They handled everything with care and helped make it a stress-free day. Tickets & Pricing One of the best parts? Tickets are reasonably priced, so you can take the whole family without breaking the bank. A refreshing change compared to other venues where costs quickly add up. Bag Policy & Water The bag policy is similar to Levi's--no backpacks, and only clear bags or small clutches are allowed. However, PayPal Park has a free bag check area, which is amazing! You can drop off your bag and pick it up after the game. You're also allowed to bring one unopened water bottle (under 1 liter) or an empty bottle to use at the refill stations inside. Outside food isn't generally allowed, except in rare exceptions. Food Options Rather than eating at the standard concessions, we opted for the food trucks parked outside the stadium. They had a great international variety--from sushi and tacos to Greek and Korean options. Prices were fair and food was tasty. Good selection. Parking & Transit There are various parking options, including ADA spaces and tailgate lots. Prices vary--some I saw listed between $32-$75 on Ticketmaster. ADA parking was $29. If you'd rather not drive, it's super easy to take the VTA, walk from the train station, or Uber/Lyft. Just note that pick-up/drop-off is about two blocks from the stadium, so be ready for a short walk (less than 1/8 mile). Overall Experience We had a great time. The game was enjoyable, the Hello Kitty hats were adorable and easy to get, and the day felt well-organized and peaceful. Honestly, it was a relief after the chaotic experience with the Giants' shirt giveaway earlier this year at Oracle--we never even got our shirts at that one even though we arrived 2.5 hrs early and are Clear members, and season ticket holders. Huge thanks to Bay FC and PayPal Park for hosting a thoughtful, well-run event. We'll definitely be back for more games. A lovely way to spend a summer afternoon with our community.

    Having watched games from section 107 and the Audi Field Club, both are great sections to watch a game from. From section 107 you are at midfield and can see everything going on. At the Audi field club section you can't see the formations but you are close to the players which is a totally different vantage point. For games at night you should definitely dress warm as it gets cold even if during the day it is in the 80's. Also, the way the stadium is set up with one end open a cold breeze comes in. If you can, bring a blanket. I also like that this stadium allows food trucks to park inside the stadium on game days so that you have multiple options for food.

    Margarita w/ souvenir cup

    First time at PayPal Park recently for a Bay FC game, and it was overall a great experience. I suggest getting there about an hour (or more) early if you are planning to eat. They have a large lawn area with lots of food trucks, so many good options! The prices at the food trucks were pretty standard. There are a good amount of standing countertops between the field and the bar where you can eat and watch the players practice. There are other concession stands around the stadium, but the food trucks offered a lot more variety. The concession stands also sell a three-pack of Crumble Cookies. Fun fact: The bar at PayPal is the largest outdoor bar in North America! Shoutout to Kitty the bartender for making a delicious margarita, and for their great energy!! There were four different store locations (at each corner), if you are looking to shop for team merchandise. Restrooms were pretty clean too and lines were never too bad. Stadium seats were clean and comfortable, good views all around.

    Love this soccer stadium, hate the parking price! I am always thrilled to attend soccer games here and am hoping to make it a habit. Season tickets are a steal whether for Earthquakes or Bay FC. I am amazed at the capacity size and how it does not feel like that even during a sold out game. It's easy to stroll and get to/from the bathrooms which are super clean. I appreciate that they have sale items & that we get a solid walk in and out. Be sure to dress warmly as even summer nights can get breezy. I do wish it was more family friendly and we could bring in our food like the CU Tech Arena. I am impressed that my 8 year olds can sit through each half without needing to get up. And what a treat that they got when we discovered where the players exit & sign autographs!

    First time visitor here. Layout was great, easy to move around. Came here for a BayFC game and prices were affordable. Food and drinks a bit on the pricier side though. They have bag check available for free.

    Good A.

    This is good place to visit and work! Enchant was an interesting event to attend after Thanksgiving and take photos for three seasons. Go Quakes, welcome Bay FC in 2024, and concerts in 2026!!!!!!!!!

    Watching warm ups

    PayPal park is nicely laid out and has good amenities. There is a large lawn area on the north end where there is a line of food trucks and a spattering of booths you can play games at or get some swag. There is a huge bar that has bar tenders on both the lawn side and the stadium side so it's easy to walk up and grab a drink. The jumbo screen facing the lawn area as well as the stadium. Drinks are typical for a large event venue - overpriced and so-so tasting. The food truck options were good through and enough of a selection for us non-meat eaters as well. At the north end of the field, you can stand and watch warm ups and a lot of people just watched the game from there as well. Security was easy to get through, don't forget to only bring a clear bag or you'll have to check any other bags into bag check prior to entering. It was a fun time and I was happy to support women's sports (or the men's soccer team too)!

    They have an efficient system for entry and security. Clean facility. Bag check area for oversized bags.

    We just experienced our first game at papal Park last night. We were blown away with how clean it was compared to all the other stadiums in the Bay Area. We even walked in late to the game and it was still super clean everywhere. We didn't eat any of the food because there weren't a lot of healthy options or non-fried vegetarian foods available, but our seats were easy to find and clean and I loved how bad behavior was not tolerated. Everybody seemed very positive. It was kind of cool to watch the planes fly past the scoreboard to land at the airport during the game, another thing that we really like is that we were able to pre-pay for a parking ahead of time and Ticketmaster made it so easy to bring up the parking and entrance tickets on your phone. Overall, we had a really great experience and the weather was absolutely beautiful! Go, Bay FC!!

    Been here at least for 6 games or more since 2019. One game a year because of the long drive, Awesome tailgating, except when there's wind there's dirt flying! Stadium is beautiful and very impressive, great fans, food trucks are good and plenty, the bar inside stadium is the largest outdoor bar and pretty epic! Drinks are expensive, Element hotel next door is nice and reasonable too. We came for first ever firework show and it was pretty fantastic!

    Are polaroid cameras permitted inside?

    I can't imagine they wouldn't be. It's a pretty relaxed atmosphere. You probably just want to put it in a regulation sized clear bag :)

Parking is easy. Paid $15 to park in the structure next to the stadium. Getting out of the lot was a bit slow as everyone was leaving but there were guides and moved quickly after a while. We got searched and tickets scanned. For a few dollars, you can practice pitching and hang out in the bounce house. Concession are standard except for the garlic fries and the churros. My goodness, the churro is FRESHLY FRIED! None of that frozen stuff heated in the toaster. These churros were fried! The best part? It was only $5!!! The stadium experience was great!

They really need to work on multiple exit points. Restrooms were plentiful and clean - TG! Would I go back? YES!! GO GIANTS!!

San Jose State University versus Boise State University. We were lucky to get tickets from my friend's son. There were 21K+ people at the game. It was freezing cold. I am thankful I had a beanie and my Ugg boots and jacket to keep me warm. I also remembered to bring a seat cushion for my seat on the bleachers. Overall, I had a good experience watching a college football game for the first time. The only down side was the parking was full. My friend told me in time so I end up taking uber there instead so I don't have to worry about parking. Then finding the will call ticket was a challenge. I didn't know the will call tickets were right where the ticket booth was. They should add Will Call to the Ticket Booth sign. Just took some time to find the will call to get my ticket. Overall, if you come during the winter, make sure to dress warm and bring transparent bag. It's a good stadium to watch a football game.

Great price, even going to the movies with 4 people costs more than that! How could we say no??? Parking was well managed even with Santa Clara street being blocked off for an event. NOTE! SAP center changed their bag policy so we had to leave our purses/mini backpacks in the car. Their website is updated with what is acceptable. SAP center staff is always great at helping everyone and I love how personable they are. A pleasure to deal with! In the morning we were able to watch the players practice on the ice for about an hour. My son caught one of the practice pucks that flew over the glass which instantly made the ticket purchase worth it! There was a section to take a photo booth picture, pictures with sharkie, pictures on the ice, get your face painted, kids athletic area, and of course the meet the players/autographs. I wish that there was a published program that we could take that showed the times of all the events. Lines got long pretty quickly without us knowing what it was for. Prior to the event I guess there was an email that was sent out where you could reserve your time to take photos on the ice otherwise you wouldn't be able to do it. Kind of a bummer as the line didn't seem so long. My daughter had a stamp from doing the kids work out and a staff member let her line up to take a picture with the shark head but since the rest of our family didn't have a stamp we went back up to get one then found out we couldn't take a picture........ yet my daughter had no reservation and was able to line up so?? Aside from that (which wasn't a big deal) I think this was a great event to go to and definitely worth the price especially if you are a sharks fan. We were able to get super close to the players and it really was a great fan experience to be able to walk the SAP center so freely. If they could publish a schedule and maybe be more organized with the timing of things then that would improve it a bit. We will likely be back for the next one :).
