Bay FC Fan Guide: Getting to PayPal Park 

PayPal Park Parking and Transportation  

Bay FC matchdays at PayPal Park should be about the soccer on the field, not the stress of getting to the stadium. That’s why Bay FC and PayPal Park have made big improvements to parking and transportation so fans can arrive to the stadium with ease. 

Driving & Parking at PayPal Park 

Driving is the go-to for many fans, and improvements have been made to make parking at PayPal Park convenient. This year, there are more available parking spaces, including a new overflow area. This means less time circling for a spot and more time enjoying Bay FC’s matchday experience. Fans can also pre-purchase a parking spot on Ticketmaster when they buy their Bay FC match ticket.

This has made a noticeable difference for Bay FC fans, who have said: 

  • “Being able to prepay for parking helps a lot. There’s less worry about getting stuck in traffic and not being able to get a spot.” 
  • “The ease of finding parking and leaving the parking structure is one of the reasons we will come back to more games. Making parking accessible and not a waste of time is important for our experience.” 

Arrive to PayPal Park by Caltrain 

For a simple way to get to Bay FC’s match, leave the car behind and take Caltrain to PayPal Park. Caltrain makes it easy for fans across the Bay Area to come to a home match.  

Caltrain offers frequent service to the match with trains running every 30 minutes. The direct trip from San Francisco’s 4th and King Street station takes just over an hour to get to the Santa Clara station near PayPal Park. Plus, fans under 18 ride for only $1 each way.  

Regardless of your starting location, fans can exit at the Santa Clara station, from which it is a 15 to 20-minute walk to the PayPal Park stadium. 

Directions by Caltrain 

  • Take Caltrain to the Santa Clara station. 
  • Walk: From the station, walk east through the pedestrian tunnel onto Brokaw Avenue and turn right on Wondo Way. 
  • VTA Bus: Take the VTA Bus (Line 60 northbound) from the Santa Clara Transit Center  to the Coleman Avenue & Earthquakes Way stop. 

One fan who made the trip shared their experience: 

“I took Caltrain from SF and walked from Caltrain to the stadium. The walk was nice, there were lots of people doing the same thing, and it was a fun vibe walking in alongside the tailgating lot.” 

Ride with Lyft

BART and Shuttle 

For fans riding BART to the match,  take advantage of the complimentary shuttle service from the Berryessa/North San Jose BART Station directly to PayPal Park. 

 To begin the journey, take the Orange or Green BART lines to the Berryessa/North San Jose BART Station. Upon exiting the station, cross the street to the northbound lane of Berryessa Station Way and look for the LuxBus shuttles waiting in the designated pick-up zone. The shuttle drops fans off at the corner of Earthquakes Way and Coleman Ave, just a short walk from PayPal Park. 

Shuttle Schedule: 

  • To PayPal Park: Shuttles from the BART station start running two hours before kickoff and continue until the match begins. 
  • From PayPal Park: Return shuttles to the BART station start 15 minutes after the final whistle and run for approximately one hour. 

To return to the BART station, fans can board the shuttles on Earthquakes Way, right outside the stadium’s main gate. 

This shuttle service is a fan favorite, with supporters saying it’s “a lifesaver for getting to the stadium—it’s how I get there every game.” Another fan remarked on the efficiency, stating, “It is very convenient parking at Berryessa BART and taking the shuttle to the stadium.”
