Stadium Information

About SAP Center:

Opening in 1993, this stadium did not arrive without some controversy. After construction began it was determined that it was not up to the NHL's standards and had to be modified.

Tour Info:

There doesn't appear to be any public tour offerings at this time.

Security Screenings:

Like almost all US and Canadian Stadiums, you will need to enter through a metal detector before entering the stadium.  Be sure to give yourself extra time and don't bring any weapons or devices that could be seen as a weapon inside.  Pat down searches may be required.

Bag Policy:

All large bags such as backpacks, suitcases, beach bags, etc. will be prohibited from entry into the arena.  All bags are subject to inspection before entry.

Note: Bag and security policy listed above are for typical sporting events. Special events, concerts, and other situations may result in variation to the policy. Please check event website for any changes or variation.

Parking & Transportation

Parking Options

Parking lots typically open 2.5 hours before an event begins. There are several parking lots within a few blocks of the stadium, so parking should not be an issue here.

We're setting up a partnership with a new parking company. Stay tuned for more details!

Bus Service:

Lines 22 & 522 at the Santa Clara and Autumn stop are the closest to the stadium. Please visit VTA to plan your trip.

Rail Service:

San Jose Diridon Station (CalTrain) and San Fernando Station (VTA) both service the stadium.

Taxi & Rideshare Service:

Passenger pickup is located at 93 Stockton Avenue (near the Whole Foods, just west of the stadium). It's about a six minute walk.

Closest Major Airport: San Jose International Airport
