Stockton CA – Levi’s® Stadium and the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC) are thrilled to share that they will be renewing their partnership to encourage visitors to take public transportation to select events hosted at the stadium. The goal is to make sure that attendees from the Central Valley and Tri-Valley have a convenient, car-free option to reach the stadium with special train service provided by ACE®, which serves the Santa Clara Great America Station, just steps away from the stadium.
ACE plans to run service to and from Levi’s® Stadium for seven, regular season home games for the San Francisco 49ers. Beginning with the 49ers vs. the Patriots on Sunday, September 29, 2024. This initiative is designed to offer fans a seamless journey to and from the stadium.
"Over the past 10 years, we have cultivated an award-winning fan experience that serves to provide safe and memorable experiences for all fans. Having multiple transportation options is a big part of that," said Francine Melendez Hughes, executive vice president & general manager, stadium operations. "ACE is an important part of our game day experience and we are grateful to have them as a community partner."
Special Event Train tickets will be required to travel on ACE for these special trains. For fans that plan to attend games throughout the season, for a limited time, ACE will be offering its own season pass train ticket which will cover the cost of the seven home games for the price of six. First time riders of ACE can expect a comfortable ride with cozy seats, free-Wi-Fi, restrooms, charging outlets, and more, making travel easy for all travelers including families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities.
"As a commuter train service, we value the importance and ease of connectivity for work, and are delighted to, once again, partner with Levi’s® Stadium in an effort to provide a safe and enjoyable transportation option for leisure travel,” says Nancy Young, SJRRC board chair. “We want fans to be able to cheer on their team, allowing them to focus entirely on enjoying the game-day experience."
