Levi’s Stadium

Levi's Stadium sits in Santa Clara, surrounded by corporate campuses and suburban sprawl rather than a walkable entertainment district. The location makes driving or light rail the primary options.

Driving & Parking

• Driving
  From San Francisco, take US-101 South to the Great America Parkway exit (about 45 minutes without traffic, but expect 90+ minutes on game days). From San Jose, take I-880 North to US-101 North to the same exit. From the East Bay take I-880 South, exit onto CA-237 West toward Mountain View, and then take the Great America Parkway exit. Traffic on US-101, CA-237. Traffic on US-101 and the surrounding surface streets can be gridlocked 2-3 hours before kickoff.
• Parking
  Pre-purchasing parking passes is highly recommended. While day of credit card lots exist, they are very limited and often sell out. The stadium enforces a directed parking system where attendants guide cars to the next available empty spot sequentially, typically filling sections farthest from the lot entrances first. Because spaces cannot be saved, fans who want to tailgate together must caravan and enter the parking gates at the exact same time. The Red Lots are generally the closest to the stadium with the Green Lots stretching to the south and Blue Lots further west on the other side of Great American Parkway. Tailgating is allowed only in certain lots so be sure to select a Tailgating Allowed lot when pre-purchasing your parking if you're looking to tailgate. Pre-purchased parking often sells out early for the whole season leaving the secondary market as the alternative to find parking in official lots.
  
  Parking lots open 3.5 hours before kickoff. The team also operates an Early Entry Tailgate program in which season ticket holders can purchase parking passes that allow entry and hour earlier. For tailgating supplies Safeway and Whole Foods Market are both a short drive away. For beverages, Total Wine & More in Santa Clara has a large selection, and Maple Leaf Liquor is a convenient local option.

Public Transit

• VTA Light Rail
  The Great America / Levi's Stadium station sits on both the Orange Line (Mountain View to Alum Rock) and the Green Line (Old Ironsides to Winchester). Both lines drop passengers off right at the stadium's northern gates.
  • BART Connection
    Commuters taking BART should ride to the Milpitas Transit Center and transfer to the VTA Orange Line westbound to reach the stadium.
  • Caltrain Connection
    Commuters taking Caltrain from San Francisco or the Peninsula should ride to the Mountain View Transit Center and transfer directly to the VTA Orange Line eastbound.

    The VTA Green Line provides a direct, one-train ride to the stadium for fans traveling from Campbell, Willow Glen, and parts of Downtown San Jose.

    ACE runs specialized event trains for weekend games, offering a direct rail link for fans coming from the Central Valley and Tri-Valley areas (including Stockton, Tracy, and Livermore).

  • Capitol Corridor (Amtrak)
    This line connects the stadium directly to Sacramento, the East Bay (including Oakland Coliseum), and San Jose Diridon station. Passengers exit at the Santa Clara-Great America Station.

Rideshare

• The designated rideshare zone is at Red Lot 7 north of the stadium on Great American Parkway . Post game, the rideshare area can have 30-45 minute waits due to traffic and high demand. Consider walking to the Great America light rail station and requesting pickup from a less congested area if you want to avoid the crush.

The immediate area around Levi's Stadium is Silicon Valley corporate parks, not exactly a vibrant bar district. But the surrounding Santa Clara neighborhoods have a solid collection of local restaurants and breweries within a few minutes' drive, and the stadium's own tailgating lots are where the real pregame energy lives.

• Red Zone Rally Pregame
  The 49ers host an official, ticketed pregame party across the street from the stadium at the Great American Pavilion. Open 3 hours before kickoff, a ticket gets provides all-inclusive food and beverages (including beer & wine) in the air conditioned pavilion. It features sports bars showing other NFL games, interactive games, live music and unlimited rides on the Flight Deck roller coaster inside the adjacent amusement park.
• The Faithful Mile
  The team also operates a free pregame tailgate for all ticketed fans just inside the security perimeter on the west side of the stadium. This area features two bars, food areas, beer carts and merch stands as well as photo opportunities with the Gold Rush Cheerleaders and Sourdough Sam mascot.
