New Food at the San Jose Earthquakes Stadium

Also, award-winning bay area food trucks are popular for fans to get food behind the big screen at the Epi-Center Fan Zone. However, that means some events you attend will have different food trucks than others since there is a rotation during the season.

 

You will find some food trucks when going to your next Quakes event.

Can Fans Bring Outside Food or Drinks into PayPal Park?

According to the team’s official guest services and FAQ section, fans can bring outside food into the game. The rules state that fans can bring a clear plastic bag with small snacks inside and one clear unopened water bottle / empty water bottle per person. However, be aware that large food items, like sandwiches, can be turned away by the stadium staff members as you try and enter the venue.

 

Be sure to visit the complete outside food and drink guide for the team to learn more and ensure the rules stay the same before your next visit.

Popular Bars and Restaurants Near the Venue

Numerous bars and restaurants are within walking distance of the soccer venue to check out before or after a game. Those places include In-N-Out Burger, Smoking Pig BBQ, and Chipotle. If you venture slightly outside the nearby areas to the arena, you can find even more options to check out before a game.
