I came to Stanford Stadium 2 times for BTS back in May. I was able to secure a last minute ticket for myself the day of on day 2 on floor. I also planned to go to day 3 with a group of friends. On D2, I was able to carpool at a garage with a friend approximately a 20 minute walk from the stadium. I don't recommend parking here at all. Getting out of it was a nuisance since we had to wait almost an hour before we were able to leave the garage due to traffic. I highly recommend taking CalTrain to/from the stadium which is what I did with my group of friends on D3. It was very convienent and we were able to hop on a train within 15 minutes when we got to the station after the concert. The security and staff were very friendly and were happy to help us when we had questions. It was a bit disorganized and I wasn't sure where to go on D2. I wasn't aware nor notified I had to get a wristband for floor until a nice fellow Army let me know. Luckily a staff member pointed me to the right location to pick them up. D2 was quite disorganized in the 100's section. It was extremely crowded once I was trying to navigate and find my way how to get to floor. Once I got my bearings and got to my seat, I was so excited! My section was worth the last minute price ($670 via official TM) because I was directly in front of the main stage. I got to see the boys up front and close and vibe with Army and them! Exiting from floor was a pain, because there was only one exit from my section and I had a meet up location planned to meet up with my friend who was sitting in the 100's section. Getting out was a little confusing because there were barricades everywhere. Signal is also HORRID here and I was lucky enough to call my friend to tell her to meet up with me at a specific gate. D3 went a lot more smoother and I noticed there was less crowds in the 100's section. Maybe because it was a Tuesday? Bathrooms were easier to get to that day also. We were seated in section 126 and still had a great view especially of the side stage. Outside the stadium can get extremely dusty, and I highly recommend wearing a face mask to prevent breathing in the dirt. Overall I had a wonderful experience especially for going solo on floor! It was worth the time and money coming to the venue. read more

Came to Stanford stadium for the first time for BTS. Stadium is very nice and organized. The stairs can be steep, so definitely wear comfortable clothes if you're in the higher levels. Parking is pretty rough here. The stadium is a bit secluded and far from the freeway. Best bet is to park a few neighborhoods away early and walk or uber in. read more

My first time at Stanford Stadium for BTS concert two weeks ago. I had fun. The stadium is nice. I bought my own seat cushion. You need a clear bag to come in. No water bottles. Only sealed plastic clear water bottles allowed. There is traffic going out the stadium. I knew ahead of time that was going to happen, so I purposedly hung out with my friend to take photos and took our time to buy merchandise. By the time we finally got to our car to leave, took us about 30 min to get out of the stadium area after an hour passed when the concert ended. I had a friend that took two hours to get out from buying a VIP parking pass too; and she was there on Saturday. Overall, I am sure business was great for Stanford. I had fun at the BTS concert. read more

Came here to watch the earthquake game on a Saturday. Parking at lot 4 was ok. It was $44 . Walked about 10min to the stadium. Stadium is not as new as Levi's . Bathroom was clean. There was fireworks at the end of the game which was nice! Overall, not bad experience. read more

Not the best choice for a concert for artists with an immense fandom. 1. Exit signs are barely noticeable. 2. Other exits were blocked, only one open tunnel for 65K+ attendees to go through - major safety hazard‼ 3. Phone service was not available within 1+ mile radius. 4. Need more signs/instructions especially for out of town/international visitors. read more

Had great parking and seats, but the venue really dampened my first BTS concert due to the show having to end early and the bars closing down after 20 minutes into the show. Wish the venue had people checking seat assignments during the show as well bc random people crowded into our section the entire time when they didn't even have seats there, making it feel way more cramped and extremely annoying. read more

Came here for the BTS concert Day 1 and I am happy that I took Caltrain instead of driving/parking here cause it looked horrendous. From Caltrain to Stanford Stadium is about a 15 minute walk. The Stanford Stadium is nice but, I don't think they can accommodate 50,000 people...why build a stadium this big when you can't accommodate this many people? We entered through Gate 5 for security and man that was a LONG line and it didn't feel organized until we were in the taped area. There were long lines for restrooms and food as expected - luckily the BTS fans were super respectful and did not cut. But, the congestion felt like it could be a safety hazard...especially going in and out of the tunnel on the lower level. I was afraid of a crowd crush! For the food, I think my friends and I were the "last" people to get the chicken tenders and fries cause the back kitchen was running low on it...like what!! I hoped they stocked up for DAY 2 & DAY 3. We were able to bring in empty water bottles but I could not find the refill station, so ended up buying a water bottle instead. Other than the negatives, the seats were amazing and felt so close. The staff didn't even check closely to the ticket seats...but thankfully, BTS fans are honest with their seat locations!! read more

This review is specifically for going to a concert at Stanford Stadium. We were here to watch BTS in concert on a Tuesday night. I think the last time I was here was for the Big Game but that was like over a decade ago. L O C A T I O N Stanford Stadium is at the corner of Galvez St. and El Camino Real. P A R K I N G For this concert, there was paid parking through the Stanford Stadium website. There was $120 - VIP (actually paved parking), $90 - IM South Lot (Grass lawn), and $80 - General (Dirt lots). Though apparently there was parking at Palo Alto High School for $60, but I didn't know about this until after I already paid. Some folks parked in the neighborhoods as well as Palo Alto Caltrain station ($6.50). I just didn't know how easy it would be to find parking in the neighborhoods and I really didn't want to get towed. So I opted for the IM South (General Lot 4) and luckily we came around 3:30pm and got prime area to park which was right in front of the opening where we'd exit (Churchill Ave) . So leaving the parking area was so fast but they did block access to Churchill Ave when leaving and forced to drive on El Camino Real. I would either turn left on Park Ave after that and get to Alma then Oregon Expy if you're needing to get to 101. We ended up driving down to Charleston which worked out. V E N U E There are a bunch of maps to show you where you can enter for your section also shows where the restrooms and amenities are. Near our section 236, we had the water bottle filling station and two women's restrooms which was very convenient. A section down was a Chik-fil-A. From the gates to the stadium, there are two sets of long stairwells. I'm sure there are ramps somewhere but be aware it might take time to get up via ramps or going up stairs. Walking around the outside of the stadium had a lot of dusty paths so make sure you're ready to get dust on your clothes, shoes and in your lungs if there's a bunch of wind or people walking around you. Inside it's your standard football stadium but it's a college stadium so it's no Levi's which means if you're in the worst seats far in the back, it's still a good seat. If you get nosebleeds at Levi's, good luck if you can see anything and hope that the artist has large screens. So when thinking about purchasing tickets for BTS and that they had a center 360 stage, it was kind of a no brainer to not get tickets. All the seats had seat backs and bottoms which is wonderful. They're both hard but it's better than bleacher seating. Now what's not great? Acoustics. The sound isn't great. It's outdoors y'all and there's only so many speakers and yes the stadium is smaller than your Levi's or Allegiant so there's not much to bounce the sound off of. Also depending on the time of day, you may need lots of sunblock, a hat, and sunglasses and maybe a piece of paper to block the sun. It was pretty scorching the day we went. Cellphone reception seemed to be fine during the day and then as soon as we left the event around 9:30pm and headed toward the lot by means of Gate 12 and El Camino Real, there was absolutely no cellphone reception for AT&T at least. So make sure you preload maps or stick a pin where you need to be so you're able to find friends you're carpooling with. This is also why I didn't know about turning left on Park Ave. to save time to drive cause I had no reception until we reached that street. S E C U R I T Y Security was standard concert fare but you could only bring in a certain dimension of not clear bag or 12x12x6 for clear bags. You have to walk through a metal detector and there are folks also who have wands to scan your body. T I C K E T S I had tickets preloaded onto my iPhone wallet as I read folks did have cellphone reception issues so that worked out for us at least with Ticketmaster. It was a pretty smooth check in process with no lines. O V E R A L L For this kind of concert, it was a pretty good venue in terms of view. No seat was bad except maybe if you have some obstruction due to the set/setup. read more

Came here to see BTS. Thankfully we got here fairly early (around 8 am for a 7 pm show start time) and left immediately, so parking wasn't as bad as it could have been in terms of entering and exiting. I kept seeing/hearing how traffic personnel weren't great at directing people and traffic was just awful. We had to pay $60 for parking which was probably 10-15 minute walk away from the stadium. They did not allow for in and out privileges, so we were stuck around the area the entire day. It was also unfortunate that there is a noise ordinance so the show had to start earlier. The sunlight did affect some of the production, but I guess in some ways BTS commented how they could see the audience very well, and I guess I'm glad I got to get home at a more reasonable hour. Entry into the stadium was very confusing. There were multiple gates. Seemed like the gates we were at there were unofficial lines starting. When they started letting people in, the gate we stood in line for was barely moving and the other one that we thought was way longer, actually moved faster. We ended up hopping out of our original line. As people entered the stadium, the first floor (100s) was packed like crazy. It was so hard to move because people were all over the place, in various lines, sitting on the ground. Lines to the bathroom were incredibly long (I was hearing how lines were 1.5 hours long). I'm glad I got advice to go to the bathroom at least an hour before the concert from my friend who had gone the day before. Anyway, it was so crowded that I was nervous there would be a crowd crush. Even exiting the stadium at the end of the night was a little unnerving. In order to cover ground faster, we had to get onto the 200s level to have more space to walk around the stadium. There was so much sunlight in the hours before 7 pm in the section we were at (103) probably up until 8 pm. Around the 103 section was also a lot of tarp covering the seats. It was a bit unsightly. I would say walking around in the 200s section, that area seemed to provide a solid view. There was no water fountain that we could find to fill up our water bottles. Purchasing food was challenging for the fact that lines were so long and it was just so crowded. Thankfully, we found a shorter line for the chicken tenders and fries. Prices were expensive, but not atypical for stadium food. I'm glad the screens were working well, high definition. I think if anything, BTS 100% carried the Stanford stadium experience. I would have no other reason to come here, even for sporting events or other concerts. read more

First time to Stanford Stadium and it was a pleasant experience. The stadium is well kept for an older venue and on par with other west coast college football venues. The flow of security was efficient (moved much faster than the Rose Bowl) and walking flow outside the stadium is much better than Levi Stadium. You can walk down (south) El Camino Real or Alma Street and get away from the stadium crowds. For a sold out concert, there were plenty of concession stands and offered a good variety of American and Korean food. The restrooms are also spacious, but plan to wait in line for sold out performances. The audio system and visual effects for the BTS concert was outstanding. Good quality on the large video screens and clear views of stage. This place has a great college atmosphere and I highly recommend visiting if in Bay Area. read more

Stanford stadium was pretty organized for the most part. I mean, it's clean, it's big, nice staff too. Area was safe and quiet once the event was over. But the dust just sucked so bad. We waited near Gate 10, and it was just terrible with the dust flying everywhere. They handed out water bottles to us while we waited to get inside. I would say we had a positive experience here, the dust was just crazy. read more

Came for the BTS concert and yes it feels more intimate being a smaller stadium, but definitely not equipped to handle such a high crowd concert like this. The lines for the restroom were so long, food, drinks, etc. In the 200's section it was basically bleachers and no cup holder to put your drink. There were no attendants to help you find your seat or regulating for that matter. Getting in was a breeze, but getting out was another story. From getting out of the stadium to parking even almost a mile away it was chaos. read more

What a privilege to be at Avery Stadium at Stanford University. My son's team and about 15 others were invited to compete at Stanford's state-of-the-art stadium where all the staff were accommodating and the competition was run at an Olympic level. Photographers, a lane announcer who added excitement to each heat detailing who was out ahead, who had pushed off the wall and furiously come from behind whipping up the crowd who'd stand in anticipation of who'd touch the wall first- you don't get that at just any race! To be surrounded by plaques of world record breakers, NCAA champs was awing. Turnkey from leafy parking lot then a quick walk into the stadium where you were greeted by staff and lanyard hung around your neck if helping with timing as I was. Great time on a freezing day for this "Candy Cane Classic" meet! read more

Worst experience ever! Spend a ton of money to take my kids and my father to all 3 of their first concert ever, BTS. Arrived, had to walk through a 20 minute line with dirt flying all over everyone. Many were covering their mouths to avoid breathing it in. Tickets failed to download, was told "stand by that tree or that tree to get service". 2 hours later waited in line at the ticket booth only to be told by a very rude supervisor that there is nothing they can do since tickets weren't purchased through Ticketmaster. Kids crying, everyone frustrated along with many others in line who were told the same thing. Left with our heads hung low, never to return. Stanford, Live Nation, or anyone running this event should take accountability, show empathy and help people out. read more

We went to a Coldplay concert here in May and absolutely loved it. We arrived early for parking, which gave us plenty of time to wait, enjoy some tasty nachos, and avoid long restroom lines. Everything was clean, and the staff members were all friendly. Our seats were in the shade, and we had a nice view of the sign and trees lining the stadium. read more

Some friends and I went to the Stanford Cardinals vs Boston College Eagles game yesterday. It was a cool night with fan appreciation day. The Cardinals started off strong scoring on their first two possessions. But then fell behind the Eagles 6-20. Then Stanford's defense shored up and recovered a fumble, had a pick six, and stopped the Eagles at the goal line and recovered a fumble stopping them from scoring. The defense held.them scoreless in the 3rd and 4th quarters, while the Cardinals offense tacked on another 10 points making the final Stanford 30 Boston College 20. What a good comeback from the Cardinals to chalk up their 1st win this season. read more

Hadn't visited Stanford campus in decades and was excited to see Cardinals host Florida State. There are a lot of parking options but good fan turnout so plan accordingly. The entry process was smooth; tickets scanned, bag checked and we were directed to our section. The stadium staff was patient and kind (with us and what I observed with other attendees). I was glad to see some of the concession vendors include locally sourced goods from small businesses. We had a wonderful experience at Stanford Stadium. read more

My husband and I have attended many football games here and this past Saturday we tried a bunch of new food items! We got the West Coast burger, garlic fries, footlong hot dog, and popcorn (not new but my favorite snack). The burger, fries, and hot dog were great! A little overpriced but tasted very good. I especially liked the char on the burger. The popcorn however was lackluster and bland. I was surprised as I've had it before and it was always very good. Hopefully it was just a dud batch. Last time we attended a game I got a gelati from Rita's which was delicious but too cold for a night game. read more

Love this place every time I come and watch a game , they have clear signs for parking and where to park. It is also better that you prepay for parking before hand so you know what lot to go. The food options here are pretty amazing, they have anything from Asian food to hot dogs and hamburgers. They also have a pretty good BBQ selection also. The stadium is very well taken care of and clean. The staff is courteous and very helpful. In all they do very well with running this stadium Ever get a chance to have a game here come on out, the night games are a blast read more

It's the age old story, log on to Ticketmaster to buy BTS tickets the second they go on sale, which is somehow too late. Good news. SeatGeek and Stubhub have lots of tickets, those helpful little Johnny-on-the-Spots. You call SeatGeek the day before the show because your ticket won't transfer to your Google Wallet. The person on the phone, let's call her Lorelei, assures you that the link will absolutely work at the gate. Narrator voice: it did not work at the gate. Not for me, or the hundred odd folks standing in line at the ticket office in the blazing sun, some of whom had dumped their water bottles at security because they also believed Lorelei and thought they could actually get in with the ticket they bought. After an hour of waiting in line, a box office employee came out and very quietly informed us that we were standing in the wrong line. Thank God she whispered this to us this before we wasted yet another hour. Once we got the the "correct" line another employee arrived to mock us for not knowing how tickets work. He might have been trying out a comedy routine on us, which I can normally get behind, but read the hot, sweaty, and anxiety riddled room, my dude. After waiting in the new line for 15 minutes or so, someone came over to inform us that if we bought our tickets from a 2nd party and not Ticketmaster, they could not help us. Which makes total sense, only the folks who were quick enough to get those tickets before they sold out in one second should be treated as valid ticket holders and human beings. Luckily, I'd been passing the time talking to a representative from SeatGeek. Let's call him Luke. Luke told me I should have transferred the tickets to my Ticketmaster account. I asked, "Did you talk to Lorelei?" He did not, but it's okay because signing in to my account and transferring tickets is easy as pie as long as you have a halfway decent wifi signal. Narrator voice: the wifi signal was so weak... (How weak was it?) It was so weak, I needed to stand directly next to the signal pole, and it still took 23 minutes to download the tickets. Thankfully, I'd arrived ridiculously early, and was able to get to our seats just in time to sit and relax for forty minutes while reapplying sunscreen and googling what time the sun goes down. No matter, soon BTS came out and we were treated to a spectacle of pyro, fireworks, and audience light shows in broad daylight. Which looked great after the sun finally went down after forty minutes. BTS put on an amazing show, and when it was over, we followed the crowd out to a part of the stadium that looked unfamiliar. No worries. I had taken a picture of the sign near my car that said "Cardinal 9I" and showed it to as many employees as I could. Most of them told me they'd never heard of a Cardinal lot even after I described it perfectly. Dusty, full of trees, no lighting or foot paths, lots of holes and other tripping hazards. An absolute bargain and just under 100 bucks. Nope. Not ringing any bells. But luckily a few heroes gave me directions when they didn't even know the way. They sent me to yet another parking lot that was about a mile out of my way. No worries. It was there I finally found someone who told me, after I showed him the picture of the sign that said Cardinal 9I, that I shouldn't ask for Cardinal lot, but lot 9. And he was right, because after walking about a mile in the other direction, I asked a group of employees where lot 9 was, and none of them knew. Thankfully, someone riding by on a golf cart overhead us and said "Lot 9? Go this way, turn that way, look for a roundabout and go left." We walked 12 steps in the first direction she told us and saw a sign for Lots 8-12. They were all right there. Dusty. Unlit. Full of holes and cars and zero walking paths, but there they were. Stanford, I want to commend you for not placing ugly, helpful "parking lot this way" signs along the pedestrian ways and only place them at the lots themselves so as not to take away from the tree-lined dustbowl aesthetic you've got going on. Also, a word of advice, if I may. Next time you get the chance to fly close to the sun on your beautiful wax wings and book the biggest musical act in the world, be humble. Realize you should stick to sporting events, and let Levi handle it. He's only got one parking lot. PS: Tragically, not one word of this review is exaggerated. Despite the tone, it's all true. read more

This is a pleasant venue to take in a football game. We attended two games this season, against Pitt and Notre Dame. Parking is not too problematic. Sight lines for the seating are pretty good. They seem to be making a bit better of an effort on the concessions this year with a little improvement. And you can see the product on the field is getting better, slowly. It's a shame the Stanford alumni do not turn out and support this program. It's a great time out and family friendly atmosphere. read more

This review is about Stanford Stadium. I went there for the BTS concert and of course it was super crowded. I paid $80 to park in one of the general lots. The parking people were beyond incompetent. You can't just wave your arms in any direction and assume people will know where to drive. The signs and directions to get into the lots could have been better. Cars were driving all over the place going around in circles. Not sure why they didn't have all the lots open so people could park and get off the roads. They needed to have more restrooms for women. I stood in line for almost an hour. If there were more restrooms or porta potties somewhere, they should have had some signs. How do that have any event there with the limited number of toilets? Isn't there some requirement to have so many toilets for the number of seats? The seats were decent, most of the time everyone was standing. It was fairly easy to drive out of the venue. read more

Quality/Quantity - Too bad we lost today to TCU, but it was a very good game. The campus is 8180 acres. Mascot = Stanford Tree. Endowment = $36.5 Billion! (8/2023) Student annual budget = $88k. Atmosphere - Easy in and out. $30 cash parking at the park next door, but not sure how legit it was as all the other parking lots were cashless. But I did not want to park further as this was an evening game. And I did not want to park in general parking and have to leave at the same time as everyone else. Service - Overall good. Except for one poor incident. A fight broke out between two girls, and of course the boys ended up getting involved. 3 on 1, not a pretty sight. An amazing 80+ year old staff member (probably also a volunteer) tried his best to break it up. He called for backup, but unfortunately no one came until after the bad people left. It took over 5+ minutes for security, sheriff and police to finally arrive. Price - Free tickets for us, as it was a reward/recognition for my volunteer work. $30 cash parking. Other parking was as much as $40. Owner Comments - Congrats on your success since being established in 1885 and opened in 1891. Seven schools - Business, Sustainability, Education, Engineering, Humanities & Sciences, Law, and Medicine. read more

This is a nice stadium but the parking and entrance is completely outdated. We attended the bts concert and entering the stadium was a horrible experience. Whoever thought about leaving the surrounding areas outside of the entrance as dirt should be fired. It is now 2026 and a lot of venues have designated walkways. We had to walk through a long snaking line through dirt in the heat. You can imagine all the dust that's been kicked up. It was even more of a pain leaving the parking lot because the traffic patrol only helped guide cars in to the lot but leaving was a complete mess. It was every car for themself and it took over an hour to finally leave the area. This is what's called very poor planning. I definitely will not come back to this stadium regardless of the event. read more

I came here for a sold-out Coldplay concert, and as expected, the final stretch before parking was hella trafficky. Once we made it into the parking lot and through security, everything went pretty smoothly. The stadium itself was fine. Our seats were decent for viewing (we were on the first floor) , but we were standing for most of the concert so I didn't really notice if the chairs were comfy. The women's bathroom line always looked long but moved surprisingly fast. For the sound, it was on the louder side and I had brought earplugs, but the sound was clear. Food prices were your typical stadium overpriced, but they were chill about me bringing my own snacks, which I appreciated. Just make sure to check the bag policy ahead of time because they're strict about it. Leaving the stadium after the show was as trafficky as you'd imagine. It took us nearly an hour just to get out of the parking lot. Overall, a solid venue for big events. Bring patience for parking (both before and after), maybe earplugs for concerts, and you'll be good. read more

Great campus, came to see the "Big Game", I worked at UC Berkeley for many years and never experienced a football game.

Came here with my family for my brother's commencement. We arrived early in order to get good seats. Security was very finicky. Though it said online that laptops were allowed, the guard stopped my dad who was bringing his laptop and said he couldn't bring it in. He had to show her the policy. My mom also had issues coming in, as the ticket scanner said her ticket had already been scanned. She was forced to go back and forth between customer service and the ticketing agents trying to figure it out until they just let her in. Such a waste of time and very disorganized. If you want to sit in the shade, you should sit on the south side of the stadium. From our shady seats, we could see the other side constantly fanning themselves. It must've been terribly hot to sit in the sun for hours with no shade. Food was meh. We ordered a crepe, a banana, and some coffee. The crepe was cold, which indicated it wasn't made fresh. At least the bathrooms were large and there was basically no line for them. read more

Parking in the dirt among trees any which way you can is their idea of a parking lot for a big venue like this. AND you pay for this parking (I prepaid $35 for general lots 7 & 8, which did not add any convenience). Tried to get ahead by going an hour early to the football game only to find chaos just to park in a dirt lot. WORST parking of any venue I've ever been to...worse than Oracle, Chase, Mt. Winery, Shoreline, Paramount, Candlestick, Cow Palace and all combined. You'd think Stanford is new at this... read more

This stadium is 3-stars for me (maybe 3.5 stars). It has some compelling things going for it but seems to fall short in logistics and operations. Pros: - Clean facilities - Multiple entrances and exits for easy/fast check-in - Plenty of restrooms (zero wait for stalls regardless of times). Cons: - Limited food/concession items (nothing gluten-free) - Parking is a nightmare. The majority of the parking is in the surrounding dirt/trees/grass areas and isn't very organized/well-lit. Traffic attendants tried to manage the cars but there's not enough of them to make a difference. It easily took 30-45 minutes to leave the stadium and reach the highway a couple miles away. read more

Like many disgruntled patrons, I was very disappointed at the logistics of a recent concert that I attended. 1) Most people were lined up along El Camino Real, so there was no guide for people to line up for the Gate closest to their seating sections. 2) Lack of staff at earlier points of the line to inform people if bags need check in 3) Baggage check area was a disaster. One tent, multiple unorganized lines to check in baggages. Incoming people were cutting into the lines, which congested the process more. Even worse, multiple unorganized lines formed after the concert. Baggage lines were barely moving and people were waiting for a very long time to retrieve baggages. Some people even bombarded into baggage check tents and grabbed their checked bags. 4) No mention of plastic water bottles (opened and closed) not permitted through security gates on website or email. read more

Stadium was great, great tail gating, ambience was electrifying. Will definitely have to come back and experience it all over again

Awesome stadium! It's in a spot surrounded by trees and very cool. Highly recommend experiencing the stadium experience!

Very bad ada service we have been waiting for a hour for the carts and no one came so if u are ada don't came

I enjoyed the pregame parade, tailgating, USC game, nothing memorable about the stadium.

overall not a bad stadium. Good seats all around. Went this past weekend to see my Oregon Ducks take on Stanford. Was disappointed in the amount of spectators for Stanford. For it to be a home game against a ranked school, you would have thought attendance wouldve been at an all time high. NOPE. We had just as many if not a tad more of fans than they did at home. The sun from the visitors side was UNBEARABLE! All shade on the home side....way to treat us bad lol but great design. Food not too high priced. Wouldnt mind returning again! read more

When I've had a little too much to drink, I tend to make plans. This time, I agreed to go to a soccer game. My group arrived at Stanford Stadium on Saturday, June 30th around 6:45pm. We got tickets to the San Jose Earthquakes vs Los Angeles Galaxy game. 8 tickets in Section 208, Row J, Seats 35-42. The total was $248.55, so around $31 per ticket. The view was fine for a corner upper. I don't know much about soccer other than the basics. (You know, a goal is good.) I did have the roommate give me a slight brief on more intricate rules. (He used to play when he was younger.) So I was able to follow along. The atmosphere here is fun. In fact, there was a section that stood up the whole time cheering. Times where everyone stomped their feet chanting: "Earthquakes, Earthquakes!" There was an older man who brought a drum trying to hype the crowd. And another couple of men trying at times to start the wave. Obviously, a lot of soccer fans rooting for their team. Now my issue with this stadium? It's dry! Why did I agree to go to an event without alcohol?! I know it's a college stadium, but still, it was weird being at an event without something to sip on. At least they did fireworks after the game. We were able to go behind our section and enjoy the show. Fine stadium to watch a sporting event. But I doubt I'll ever be back. I need a beer in hand to watch a game. read more

Went to Standford Stadium for the Coldpaly concert 5/31/2025. Great concert in a badly run stadium. Parking was $80.00 to $160.00. My wife had to wait 30 minutes to use the ladies restroom and 15 minutes a second time. An attendant told her to go to the lower level where the lines were longer. The lack of women's restrooms is totally unacceptable. We read the clear bag policy on the website before the concert and brought bottled water. We were told that no bottled water, so we left the bottles at the entrance. We had to buy $6.50 canned water. They told us that we could have brought the metal bottles that we left in the car. No one working the concert knew anything. We purchased parking in a lot designated IM2, that wasn't on any of the attendants maps. Were given wrong directions to the parking lot when exiting, and no one could help, since our lot was not on the attendants parking map. My phone was on LTE and because of the crowd, and I couldn't get a map to load. The Standard free WiFi kept disconnecting, so that didn't help. Finally someone in a golf cart figured out that IM2 was on the sports fields, and gave us directions. We weren't the only ones having difficulty finding their parking lot after the concert. read more
