PayPal Park, Soccer stadium in San Jose, United States
PayPal Park is an association football venue in San Jose, California, with room for 18,000 spectators. The stands rise steeply around the pitch, ensuring that every seat offers a direct view of the playing surface without obstructions.
Construction began in 2012 with a groundbreaking ceremony that brought together more than 6,000 people. This event set a world record for the largest number of participants at such an opening.
The seating displays three shades of blue and red that recall the club's early years in the North American Soccer League. This color scheme connects the ground to the team's original kit from the 1970s, creating visual continuity for longtime supporters who remember those founding seasons.
The ground sits next to the international airport and is easy to reach by public transport or car. On match days several parking areas are available nearby, though arriving early avoids long waits.
The outdoor concourse hosts one of North America's largest open-air bars, covering roughly 8,000 square meters (around 86,000 square feet). Multiple service points and viewing areas let supporters watch the match from unusual angles while standing near the bar.
