Avaya Stadium

Located in beautiful San Jose, California, just a stone’s throw from the iconic city of San Francisco and within spitting distance of San Jose International Airport is one of Major League Soccer’s biggest, newest, and most amazing soccer pitches. Known as Avaya Stadium, it’s the home of the San Jose Earthquakes, and despite its young age it can rock and roll with the best of them for sure.

 

History of Avaya Stadium

Built-in the Airport West region of San Jose (which is, funnily enough, just west of the airport), Avaya Stadium opened its doors for the first time in 2015. The story behind building the venue stretches much further back, though, as the saga began in 2008 and seemed to face delays of every kind, from financing and zoning problems to having to clear out an unexpected warren of underground concrete pilings leftover from a factory that had been on-site years before. Finally, though, the stadium came into its own and has immediately become a fan favorite.

 

What Makes Avaya Stadium Events So Special?

Avaya Stadium events are loaded with modern amenities, thanks to how new this open-air arena is. With a canopy roof and some very steep raked seating, you’ll never miss a moment of a match either from sun, rain, or being in a bad seat. Combine that with the venue hosting the largest outdoor bar in North America and you’ve got a recipe for the best kind of trouble.
