Located at 4000 Mesa Road in Irvine, CA, the stadium sits adjacent to the Mesa Parking Structure and is well-connected by public transit and campus shuttles. Whether you’re planning a game day, a postseason showdown, or a campus event, we’ve got you covered with seating details, parking tips, transit options, and trusted nearby hotel and dining recommendations.
