Memorial Stadium Parking Lots - CA Tickets

Seating and viewing options: The stadium offers a mix of official seating areas, including on-field viewpoints in campus spaces such as Field Club, Stadium Club, and ESP seating, alongside standard bleacher and reserved sections. Official and third-party seating maps are available through SeatGeek and Ticketmaster to help you choose the best vantage point. Capacity varies by configuration, with post-renovation figures around 63,186 historically, and current reported capacity at 52,428 with tarps, expandable to 62,467 without tarps. For the best experience, secure your seats early and verify your view with the interactive map before purchase.

Parking and arrival tips: The Stadium Parking Garage at 2175 Piedmont Ave is the primary on-site option for game days. Expect typical restrictions in effect (8:00 am–11:00 pm) and limited on-site parking availability. If you’re driving, consider alternative campus lots and arrive early to navigate access controls. Popular nearby lots and street parking may have time limits or permit requirements on game days.

Transit and getting there: Close to Downtown Berkeley BART, with UC Berkeley gameday shuttles and several AC Transit bus routes (F, 6, 7, 36, 51B, 52, 79) servicing the area. For a stress-free experience, combine a transit plan with pre-purchased parking or shuttle options. If you’re staying off-campus, many hotels offer shuttle service or recommended pick-up/drop-off points for game days.

Nearby hotels and dining (affiliates preferred): To maximize convenience, consider Claremont Resort & Club in the Berkeley Hills for a scenic stay, or downtown Berkeley options like Shattuck Hotel and Shattuck Plaza for easy walking access to campus and dining. We’ve partnered with trusted affiliates to bring you recommended hotel and dining picks that fit a straightforward, reliable experience. Always check cancellation policies and how your stay aligns with game-day traffic and shuttle schedules.

Notable events: Memorial Stadium hosted the 2012 re-opening sellout crowd (~63,186) and has since hosted prominent college football matchups and campus events. For fans of the Big Game and other campus celebrations, plan ahead for schedules and parking arrangements as game days can bring higher demand and changes to access.
