Getting there
Cal Poly’s current 2026 football page makes ordinary game-day parking free with the game ticket; selected lots remain priority access. Use the September 2026 football parking plan. Accessible spaces are primarily C-7 north of the stadium off California Boulevard, with appropriate DMV placard/plate required. General accessibility text still mentions an event pass, so confirm any required credential despite free ordinary football parking. Tailgate reservations are separate along South Perimeter/College Avenue, and vehicle exit can be held until 30 minutes after the game.

Need to Know

Best for
Cal Poly football at Mustang Memorial Field at Alex G. Spanos Stadium in San Luis Obispo. The John Madden Football Center opened June 6, 2026; actual opening-day exterior, plaza and lobby photographs show the completed building. The official still-linked 2024 seating PDF retains a Future Home label for that now-open center. The verified fan gallery includes Cal Poly football view 115/5/4; building access requires the relevant event permission.
Watch out for
Match the current football ticket and numbered section to the official chart. The Madden Center’s opening-day lobby and plaza photographs do not promise ordinary ticket access to team, meeting or hospitality rooms. Follow Cal Poly’s football-specific clear-bag rules and confirm medical/accessible arrangements before arrival; soccer and other campus events can use different configurations.
