Getting out

  1. Take VTA light rail. Queue on the Gate A side, facing Tasman Dr. Extra return trains and buses run for up to an hour after the game.
  2. Use your lot's exit gate. Each game page lists which stadium gate to leave by for your lot or your ride. Follow it and you skip the crowd going the other way.
  3. Rideshare from Red Lot 7. It's the official pickup, north on Great America Pkwy. Pick a meeting spot before kickoff.

Skip this: Pull out at the final whistle. Lots stay open 2 hours after the game. Let the first wave fight over Tasman.
