STANFORD, California. – As Cardinal fans return to Stanford Stadium for the 2022 season, they can expect several changes to enhance the fan experience.
BACK TO NORMAL IMPORT PROTOCOLS
Fans entering Stanford Stadium do not need proof of COVID-19 vaccination or test negative. Stanford’s clear bag policy and the use of metal detectors remain in effect to provide a safe matchday environment at Stanford Stadium. Stanford Athletics plans to test new screening equipment at select home games during the 2022 season. Visit GoStanford.com/AllClear for more information.
OPENING HOURS PARKING SPACE
Stanford Athletics will standardize parking hours for the 2022 season. All match day parking spaces will open five hours before kick-off, with the exception of Lot 2, which opens to pass holders at 6am.
CASHLESS CONCESSIONS AND PARKING
To provide the safest and most convenient experience for fans, Stanford Stadium is going cashless in several new ways. Gameday parking transactions in general lots are cashless and all permanent concession stands in the stadium have switched to cash payment (Apple Pay or credit or debit card only). Fans can easily access an order tablet, tap the items to buy them and pay with a smartphone or credit or debit card. Fans can use cash to purchase prepaid concession cards at a table in the foyer behind Section 101, while Cardinal Dollars can be purchased at Sections 103, 113, 125 and 133. In addition, there are ‘Between Play’ grab-and-go added stations in sections 108, 118, 127 and 211, while fans can now enjoy shrimp tacos in section 112.
NEW FAN FEST LOCATION
Fan-Fest returns to the hammer throw area at Cobb Track and Angell Field, steps from Stanford Stadium. Fan-Fest offers Smoking Pig BBQ and food truck options. Fan-Fest offers a variety of programs throughout the season, such as Coaches’ Chalk Talk, live music, magicians, and many other kid- and family-friendly activities.
Wi-Fi UPGRADE
Stanford Athletics installed a new Wi-Fi system at Stanford Stadium ahead of the 2021 season, enabling fans to enjoy a more connected matchday experience. The new Wi-Fi setup, which more than doubles the number of entry points at Stanford Stadium, gives fans access to mobile ticketing, the Stanford Athletics app, their social media experiences, and access to real-time stats and commentary.
Access to the network is available outside the gates, in the bowl, in the halls and in the press box. Simply connect your mobile device to #GoStanford and you’re all set!
MOBILE TICKETING IMPROVEMENTS
In an effort to provide an easier, more sustainable and safer gameday experience, Stanford Athletics transitioned to mobile tickets and parking passes in the fall of 2021 as the primary ticket delivery method for all athletic events for which tickets are reserved. Fans can immediately enjoy new functionality when managing their tickets in the Stanford Athletics mobile app or mobile web browser for the fall 2022 fall sports season. Learn more about the new ‘Add/Save All to Wallet’ feature, access to phone contacts to book tickets transfer and more in the Mobile Ticketing Guide.
