Sealed water bottles (unfrozen) no larger than 32oz are allowed into the stadium.
Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego opened in 2022 on the grounds of the former SDCCU Stadium in Mission Valley and hosts San Diego FC — the MLS expansion club that joined the league in 2025. The stadium holds 35,000 and was significantly renovated to create a modern, soccer-appropriate venue, with the open-air bowl offering views of the Mission Valley hillsides and San Diego's reliably excellent weather making it a genuinely pleasant outdoor experience.
Mission Valley puts the stadium in a central San Diego location, accessible via the MTS Green Line trolley at the Snapdragon Stadium station — one of the more convenient transit options for a San Diego venue. The surrounding area has shopping and restaurants in the Fashion Valley and Mission Valley malls nearby. San Diego FC is building their identity as an expansion club, but the combination of a quality venue, great weather, and a soccer-hungry market bodes well for the atmosphere growing quickly.
Sealed water bottles (unfrozen) no larger than 32oz are allowed into the stadium.
