Hosting an event in the L.A. market and in an NFL stadium comes with L.A. prices. Fresno State and the Fresno State Alumni Association have worked diligently to create a memorable experience for our fans and alumni while trying to reduce costs as much as possible. We are grateful to our campus leadership who have supported this event financially to allow us to celebrate this amazing accomplishment by Fresno State Football and bring the Red Wave to support them.

We encourage you to pre-purchase your parking ticket ahead of arrival. Designated parking is at Lot N (Blue Zone) and the entrance to the pregame party is through Entry 7.
