About Cardinale Stadium

Cardinale Stadium is a soccer-specific stadium located at 5108 Fourth Avenue in Marina, California, on grounds associated with California State University, Monterey Bay. The venue has operated as the home of Monterey Bay F.C. since the 2022 USL Championship season and seats approximately 6,000 fans, giving it the compact scale of a lower-division professional soccer venue.

The stadium primarily hosts Monterey Bay F.C. home matches in the USL Championship, along with fan-focused matchday events, community events, and youth and amateur soccer. Monterey Bay F.C.'s women's side in the USL W League is also associated with the venue where applicable, and the USL Championship season generally runs from spring through fall.

Cardinale Stadium is regarded as one of the stronger soccer-specific venues in the USL Championship, with a close-to-the-pitch atmosphere that keeps supporters connected to the action on the field.

Location & Transportation

Cardinale Stadium is located at 5108 Fourth Avenue, Marina, CA 93933 — near Highway 1 and the former Fort Ord area on the Monterey Bay side of California's Central Coast.

Driving and Parking: On-site and nearby lot parking is the primary access method for Cardinale Stadium events. Parking lots are adjacent to the grounds, and arriving early is recommended because most attendees drive to the stadium and lot entry can become busier as kickoff approaches.

Transit: Monterey-Salinas Transit serves the Marina, Seaside, and Monterey Peninsula area. Transit access is more limited than in major metro areas, so it is useful for some local trips, but driving remains the most common way to reach the venue.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available for Cardinale Stadium events. After a match, expect some wait time because the stadium is located away from a dense urban core and many fans leave the area at once.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available in Marina, Seaside, and Monterey. Fans traveling in for a match can choose from a broad range of hotels across the Monterey Peninsula, with Marina and Seaside offering convenient access to the stadium area.

Venue Navigation

Cardinale Stadium has a compact, single-level soccer-stadium layout, which makes it easier to understand before arriving than a large multi-tier venue. Because the seating bowl surrounds the pitch, knowing your section type — sideline, end-line, corner, or general admission — helps you move directly from the gate to the right area.

Entrances and Access: Guests enter through designated stadium gates leading into the seating bowl around the pitch. The main gate flow is designed for matchday entry, with digital ticket verification and security screening at the gates.

Seating Levels: Cardinale Stadium uses a single-level grandstand and bowl configuration typical of a compact soccer-specific stadium. Seating surrounds the field, with sideline and end seating areas that keep fans close to the action.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and parking are part of the stadium's event setup, helping guests reach seating and services during Monterey Bay F.C. matchdays.

Getting to Your Section: The compact layout makes sections easy to locate from the main concourse. Plan a little extra time near kickoff, when gate lines, concessions, and concourse movement are busiest.

Dining Options

Inside Cardinale Stadium

Cardinale Stadium concessions include food and beverage options for Monterey Bay F.C. matchdays, with alcohol typically available at games. As with most stadiums, lines are usually busiest close to kickoff and during common breaks, so arriving early or visiting concessions outside peak periods can make the experience smoother.

Outside the Venue — Marina and the Monterey Peninsula

Before or after a match, fans can find dining options in Marina, nearby Seaside, and Monterey. The broader Monterey Peninsula offers coastal restaurants and local eateries, giving visiting supporters several choices within a short drive of the stadium area.

Security & Policies

Cardinale Stadium maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: Bag restrictions and clear-bag or limited-bag policies are commonly enforced at USL matches. Reviewing the event guidelines before packing helps prevent delays at security.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, and other commonly restricted items are typically prohibited. Items considered a safety risk may also be restricted at the gate.

Entry Procedures: Expect bag checks, security screening, and digital ticket verification at Cardinale Stadium gates. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets helps speed entry.

How Much Do Tickets to Cardinale Stadium Cost?

Cardinale Stadium ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the team or matchup, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from youth and amateur soccer to high-demand Monterey Bay F.C. matches.

For Monterey Bay F.C. regular-season matches, tickets can start as low as roughly $15–$25 for general admission areas. Premium sideline and midfield seats often rise into the $35–$60+ range, depending on the opponent, seat location, and available inventory.

Getting Ready for Your Cardinale Stadium Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor stadium where most fans arrive by car and coastal weather can change during the evening.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for parking and gate entry, especially because most attendees drive to Cardinale Stadium.
• Wear the right footwear. Cardinale Stadium is an outdoor venue with standard stadium steps and walkways, so comfortable footwear is recommended.
• Dress in layers. Coastal Central California weather can be cool and breezy, especially for evening matches, so bringing layers can make the night more comfortable.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
