Facility Guidance

Parking Area: Parking around San Mateo High School is plentiful. You can enter San Mateo High School via either Delaware Street or Poplar Avenue. The main parking area is designated on our attached map. Overflow parking will extend into the SMUHSD office parking lot and towards the softball/baseball fields.

- Construction Note: Due to current construction of a new gymnasium and athletic facility at San Mateo High School this season, there will be reduced parking areas near the stadium entrance to the San Mateo High School football field. The parking spaces towards the East end of the parking area have been reduced with a slight narrowing of the passthrough lanes heading Eastward and away from the field entrance. The main parking lot areas are unaffected by the construction.

We do encourage families to arrive a bit earlier to the facility during our initial weeks of the season as we do suspect some parking and traffic flow issues to result from the impact of these areas!

Stadium/Facility Entrance: Access to the facility will be limited to the main gate area designed on our map. Please proceed through the double gates next to the small orange ticket booth at the stadium entrance to gain access to the field.

- Week 1 Arrival - Participant & Player ‘Pregame’ Meeting: As you arrive at the facility for Week 1 of our upcoming program, our staff will conduct a brief 10-15 minute introduction and welcome meeting for all of our participants and families.

The ‘Pregame’ Meeting will be held at the East end of the football field (within the track area) behind the field goal uprights. We will cover a few brief notes on our game day flow, team practice areas as well as introductions to our Student-Athletes who will coach in the program this season!

Please plan to arrive at the football field area through the main arrival gate (nearest the bathrooms) as we will look to get our ‘Pregame’ Meeting started promptly at your scheduled practice time and get rolling for the season!

Practice Areas: Given the program operations, all teams will practice within the track/stadium area of the facility. Please find your designated practice area in our map. After our brief introduction meeting, teams will head to their respective areas.

Footwear Note for Practice Periods: It is recommended that participants arrive in athletic shoes for use during the practice period on the track surfaces. Cleats can/should be utilized on the game fields (turf), but do not provide great traction on the synthetic track surfaces.

Bathrooms: Bathrooms are located near the field entrance just to the left hand side.

Spectator Guidance: Spectators will be allowed to view games from the stadium bleachers ONLY during the season. Spectators will not be allowed on the field or track areas as we kick off the season.

Pets: Dogs and/or other pets are not allowed in the stadium areas. Service pets are the only exception. Please help us out and leave the pooch at home.
