WHY PRE-BOOK

Skip the parking scramble

Hornet Stadium sits on the Sacramento State campus off Highway 50 and Howe Avenue, making it easily accessible by car from most parts of the Sacramento metro area. Sacramento Regional Transit's Gold Line light rail stops at the University/65th Street station, which is roughly a 15-minute walk to the stadium through campus. Rideshare drop-offs work best along State University Drive East near the main stadium entrances. Campus parking lots range from $5 to $10 on game days, with Lots 1, 2, and 10 being the most popular — though they fill up quickly for bigger matchups.
