We went here for a professional women's soccer friendly. Parking was easy and no charge. Security and ticket checkers were staff well, so the line went quickly. There were lots of great food truck options. Prices were expensive, but they are everywhere these days. I heard there was a regular concession stand inside the building to the left of the plaza. We went to an evening game and the west seats were in the shade. The east bleachers looked hot and sunny. read more

Went to Torero for a PLL/WLL event. The field is real Bermuda grass!! It is absolutely awesome. It seems to be meticulously maintained, and the difference in playing on grass versus artificial turf is immeasurable. The stadium itself is really clean and pretty modern. The setting on USD's campus could not be more beautiful. The only thing I will say is that sitting on the benches felt more like a high school stadium rather than a university. Not the most comfortable but also not a big deal. The PLL ran a great night for both men's and women's lacrosse. Truly a great event at a nice facility. read more

We come for our SD Legion MLR team!!! We cheer in the loudest Roman Empire section! FYI: Bleacher seats and has no rail for the steep steps/stairs. Especially scary if you have any kind handicap. Lots of food vendors on the Jenny Craig pavilion area. Lots of pre-Match activities! You can even register kids to play with some pros who are not playing that day. I've invited many to come and everyone who came has had a blast watching these gents be hooligans on the pitch. Come out and see our local SD Rugby team play!!! Besides the bleacher seats...it's an awesome & intimate venue! read more

This stadium is excellent. I attended my first rugby match here and was impressed by the variety of food vendors. Parking was convenient, located right next to the stadium, and completely free. The facilities included indoor restrooms at the entrance and portable toilets. The staff was welcoming, and the beer selection was both diverse and reasonably priced. read more

I have mixed feelings about this stadium. Is it a beautiful stadium? Absolutely! However there are some major cons that being down the review. Pros: It's a stunningly beautiful stadium. Even from the front row in any section, you are elevated about 10 feet. Meaning you won't be blocked by anyone on the field and you'll be able to see a lot of the field. Cons: First are the seats. Yes they are elevated. However they are traditional bleacher seats with zero back support. Which is fun if you're like me and want to stand the whole time. However if you're elderly and want back support, you won't get any. Next the stairs are extremely steep to get to the seats. Also speaking of stairs, this place is basically a city of stairs. So many stairs and not ada friendly. Parking is rough. They have one small structure right next to the stadium. If you get that structure, awesome! However if you don't then you will need to park down the street a bit. It's not a far walk but about .5 miles. Overall the stadium is beautiful and the staff is super friendly. However it was frustrating that I had to park super far, climb about 40-50 stairs, and find 0 bathrooms here other than Porto potties. read more

We watched a series of PLL games at this stadium and it's such a great stadium! Parking is all relatively close. There are truly no bad views. Only down fall was the far side has no bathrooms and the food options were limited and they ran out of beer BUT that was a PLL thing not a Torero thing. Definitely a great stadium. read more

for a person that has been to many sporting and the many baseball games yet there is one that uses the whole body in the area of kick and forward passing it's not like football you get more action and the more contact sports yet there is more respect that is shown on the field when you have that high intensity game. Ine the many countries that I have seen Rugby. Played it is one sport that kicks can be very fast and the high action and the fans that take part in the action. Like football they have certain teams is they have the players and the those that have made the goals with rugby the sport is no pads, and the hits can be very hard and full on like American football they call penalty. With the many areas of Rugby, it has been around for many years it has strong following in Europe and the areas of the UK and the country Australia and New Zeeland the strongest comes from Samoa. With the many sports that have come to San Diego there has been one of the Greatest being the international women's soccer League, and with the Introduction of Lacross which has been one of the strongest sports in the UK and the many countries of Britain and Ireland just like golf, but you hold and catch they can hurl that small ball at speeds of up to 70mphs. With the best location of Torreros stadium, it's just the size of the many sized stadiums they have in Europe where the fans pack the stands, and you can see the coaches yelling as the ball gets passed around. It's one sport that if you have older kids that is a great sport, they can learn ball passing and the round huddle as they move ball down the field. Torreros Stadium is going to be the place to have some of the big sports with Field hockey is branching to both side boys and girls no has the sport of Rugby reached to both sides. The great people that I had met at the Gaslamp Holiday bash they were very helpful getting people signed up and letting people know about the events and the schedules. They were two people that represented the team and the sport great work to you ladies and Happy Holidays. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer, the many sports that I have seen the one that has caught the eye of so many is rugby sport fast paced and the game of respect and Temen ship. The sport which is now recruiting many for both man and women teams is open to both sides. Yes, the sports world is changing and the many great sports coming here to San Diego are bringing new and different types get ready. Happy Holidays to and all. read more

It is no surprise that The University of San Diego appeals to so many college students. The gorgeous campus has a great location close to downtown, Old town, Mission Beach, Sea World and the world famous San Diego Zoo. The competition to get in is fierce, and the brightest students who are fortunate enough to get accepted are rewarded with a great education at a breathtakingly gorgeous university. Torero Stadium, located on the USD campus is home to the USD football team as well as the SD Legion rugby team. I had a lovely day at Torero Stadium watching SD Legion in the Pro Rugby playoffs. In early June there was not a cloud in the sky and we selected seats near the goal posts. From our seats we had an extraordinary view. I loved the architecture of the buildings behind the stadium with ornate details along the roof and even a cross at the very top. I did not mind the bench seating which makes it easier to mingle without fixed seat assignments. It was a bright sunny day and I did not get overheated, however I would recommend a brimmed hat, light, thin sun protective clothing and a lot of water. There were a few food vendors and a beer garden that also sells wine and snacks. At halftime the line was huge and they were able to serve everyone with impressive speed. I will certainly be back to Torero Stadium for another sporting event soon. read more

I'd never been to Torero stadium before or the San Diego University (SDU) campus on which it's located. The campus was beautiful. Elegant and stately, with pillars, high-beamed ceilings, and lots of green space. I went there for a rugby game, SD Legion vs. Seattle SeaWolves. The stadium has most of its seating lengthwise and has a small VIP section, made up of four "boxes" 3/4 up the South-facing side of the bleachers. The bleachers are metal slats. It rained that morning, I should have brought a towel to dry my seat. I was really fortunate that a stranger took pity on me and was kind enough to lend me a towel. The seats don't have backing and the benches are a bit close to one another, but the stadium was only about 65% full, so I could rest my feet ahead of me and was even able to move to the front row for a direct view of the field. I was so impressed by the rugby. I had seen it played at the high school level, but rugby at the national level is another animal entirely. The sport was like ballet, chearleading and football all wrapped into one. The plays straddled the line of being almost comically unusual and simultaneously efficient and intelligent. I saw rugby balls tossed into the air and caught by 6+ foot players launched atop a pyramid to catch the ball securely and gracefully at 25 feet above the ground. I saw men huddled, buts in the air, forming a table-top formation, corralled and guided forward, pushed up against the opposing team, trying to advance their position by a few inches, the ball pushed through the hollow formation to the back, to be picked up again and put into play. I saw men throwing themselves ontop of one another while people from the same side would crouch over their teammates to protect them. Perhaps the most surprising part of this game was the constant utter danger the players seemed to be in, while sporting no protective equipment, save a thin, padded helmet with no outer casing! The game was beautiful, entertaining and a feat of raw human strength. Standing next to the players, at game's end, when spectators were allowed to gather on the field, I felt dwarfed, only then really comprehending how tall (one of the players was 6'8"!) the players are. Such a fun and entertaining experience. I love that this stadium hosts rugby games. It's a great venue for this sport. The open-seating really gives spectators a chance to get close and feel like they're in the game. I was able to attend through a Yelp event, and am so grateful for what turned out to be a richly entertaining learning experience! read more

Here for the season opening game between San Diego Legion and the Seattle Seawolves. We were here in June 2019, for the playoff between the same two teams when Seattle edged out the victory but today, it was San Diego all the way, with an early commanding lead of 26 to 10, and a final of 33:24. Driving to the stadium it was pouring rain but as we got closer and closer to USD the rain fell lighter until finally, at Torero Stadium there were bright overcast clouds, but no rain at all! We came prepared with towels to sit on the wet bleachers, and an umbrella. The towels were much needed but fortunately, not the umbrella. We sat in our usual spot, in the General Admission (GA) area behind the goalpost. The GA seating is along the width of the stadium at one end. Seats were fine - really there wasn't necessarily any benefit to reserved seating we were very near the goalpost on one side and reserved seats were spread out along one length of the field. (There is no seating across the other end - other width of the stadium.) Reserved seating to ensure sitting close to the edge of the field might be more important during a packed event. Not so important today as the GA seats we had were right by the action. It's all aluminum bleachers, and no cover, so wear hats and apply sunscreen on sunny days, and bring towels to sit on and umbrellas on rainy days. Rugby is played rain or shine, no breaks in the action no matter how hard it might pour! Lines may get a bit long at concession stands inside the arena. Food is located just outside the arena. Parking at USD is free on weekends. Staff organized cars and people pretty well and there wasn't much congestion. Rugby is an aggressive game that seems to be a hybrid between American football and soccer. In rugby the action continues even after a tackle as the players vie for the ball. Also each time the ball needs to be restarted such as due to some minor rule violation the players form a sort of beehive shaped scrum and push and shove against each other as the ball is introduced into the formation. Then each time the ball is thrown in from out of bounds the receiving team hoists one player up in the air at the last moment to catch the ball. In all it's a fast paced physical wrestling sort of game. This was our third Rugby experience at Torero stadium, and we have enjoyed each game. read more

A beautiful stadium that was very week kept. The entire USD campus was immaculate and super clean, so clean it all looked brand new. My husband, my 3 year old toddler, and myself came for our first SD Legion Rugby game. This stadium was the perfect setting for a beautiful sunny San Diego game. The ocean breeze kept the aluminum bleachers cool and the open seating was nice as you could pick and move seats. Particularly if you have a loud super fan heckler. The parking was free, on the weekends which was a nice bonus. They sold beer and wine. They had traditional game food located indoors and amazing food vendors outside, such as Doggo hot dogs. The only complaint I have is the long lines for the food that took forever to get through. Other than that we are definitely huge SD Legion fans and plan on attending every home game!! read more

I went to watch the San Diego Legion Rugby team in the playoffs against the Rugby United New York team. The USD Torero Stadium is a perfect place for the San Diego Legion to play. I had Parking at the Mission Parking Structure across from the stadium. As you enter the Stadium above the seating area outside of the beautiful Jenny Graig Pavilion, there are many vendors in booths selling Food, Drinks, and Souvenir items. The 6,000 person seating areas in the Torero Stadium is just the right size for the San Diego Legion Rugby Team crowd. On one side of the stadium they have Plastic individual chair seats. On the end zone and other side of the stadium they just have hard concrete bench seats, so bring a pad to sit on. Also its hard to sit on the visitor side which is the VIP seating ? Because you have to walk all the over to the other side of the field to see the wide variety of Food and Drink items and to go to the bathroom. read more
