Getting There: The San Diego trolley (green line) arrives at the south part of the SDSU campus, adjacent to the Union Building.
Parking: Please plan ahead! Parking is always a challenge on university campuses. We recommend that you plan to arrive on campus at 2:00 pm, to give plenty of time to park and find the venue. Off campus parking is limited. For parking on campus, use the PayByPhone Parking app. It allows you to pay for a certain time period; you are contacted as the parking is about to expire, allowing you to add more time.
Here is a map showing Pay by Phone parking lots. There are also Pay Stations, if you prefer.
There are some lots on campus that cost $4.75 for all day; see SDSU Parking.
