Taking the Trolley to Qualcomm Stadium

It’s easy going to the “Q” by Trolley! The Stadium Trolley Station is located in Section J of the parking lot, just steps away from Gate K.

The San Diego Trolley Green Line provides regularly scheduled service to Qualcomm Stadium and Jack Murphy Field every day from approximately 5:00 a.m. to midnight. Trolleys depart most stations every 15 minutes. View Trolley map and schedules.

An MTS Regional Day Pass is only $5 before boarding.  Or use your Monthly Pass. And don’t forget, kids ride free on the Trolley on weekends! On Saturdays and Sundays, the Trolley is free for two children (12 and younger) when accompanied by one fare paying passenger 18 years or older.

On Game Days, increased frequency and longer trains help to get fans to and from the stadium.  Fans can use any of our Green Line Park & Ride locations below or transfer from the Orange Line at Grossmont Center or from the Blue Line at Old Town.

Game Day Rider Tips

  • Travel early: Allow extra time as Trolleys will be crowded at times.  At some of the more popular locations closer to the stadium, trains may arrive that are already full.  Rest assured that the trains will continue to operate as often as possible providing service to all of our customers.  In addition, some trains begin service at mid-line points (Hazard Center and Grantville) to ensure that fans boarding at stations closest to the stadium have additional options.
  • Purchase a Regional Day Pass: At the ticket kiosks or Ticket Vending Machines, purchase your 1-Day Pass to avoid lines after the game.
  • Old Town Overflow Parking: Available nights and weekends at the Cal-Trans building on Taylor Street just north of the Trolley Station platform.
  • Park and Ride East of Qualcomm Stadium: Most fans arrive from the west.  To expedite post-game service, riders who are holding a pre-purchased Day Pass will be allowed to enter the stadium station at the circular stairs directly below the boarding platform.  This will provide direct access to eastbound trains. 
  • Accessible Entrance Located at the Jack Murphy Statue:  This will allow direct access to the station elevator and ramp ways to the boarding platforms.  Passengers requiring an accessible path and their parties should use this entrance regardless of direction of travel.
  • Avoid Attempting to Bypass the Line by Walking to the Next Station: Although the line may appear daunting, please be patient and allow us to move all passengers in as timely a manner as possible.  Passengers choosing to walk to the Mission San Diego or Fenton Parkway stations will find that station access will be metered allowing only a limited number of passengers to enter at a time.  If you must avoid the rush, please consider departing the game a little early or waiting for a while after the game to enter the line. 

 Eastbound Station Entrance (For passengers holding pre-purchased Day Passes.  All other passengers must use the main station entrance.)

[Note: Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible entrance for both eastbound and westbound passengers is located at the the Jack Murphy statue next to stadium Gate K.]
