RVs are not a convenient option for match day parking at Levi's Stadium unless you secure a designated oversized vehicle pass and comply with strict lot rules. Best strategies Park your RV at your campground and use a passenger vehicle, rideshare or transit for stadium access. Arrange carpools with fellow fans to reduce parking costs and simplify driving. Allow significant extra time for traffic on Highways 101, 237 and 880 before and after matches. Do not plan to park an RV on nearby residential streets, in business lots that do not explicitly permit event parking, or in areas signed with event restrictions. These zones are typically enforced on major event days.
