Extra Trolley service will help fans get to Snapdragon Stadium with ease
San Diego – The San Diego State Aztecs are set to make history Oct. 3, taking the field for their first-ever Pac-12 Conference game when they host Texas State University at Snapdragon Stadium. With kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m., the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) is encouraging fans to skip traffic and parking hassles by riding the Green Line Trolley to the game.
To accommodate game-day crowds, MTS will increase Green Line Trolley frequency before and after the matchup, providing fans with a fast, convenient, and affordable way to travel to Snapdragon Stadium.
Aztecs fans can also save on transit on all remaining home games with the Aztecs All-Season Pass, a special six-gameday pass available for just $20. Valid on game days throughout the season, the pass offers a steep discount compared to purchasing regular fares for each game. The Aztecs All-Season Pass is available through the PRONTO app and at MTS Trolley ticket vending machines through Oct. 17. Fans can learn more and purchase the pass at sdmts.com/aztecs-all-season-pass.
