FRESNO, Calif. – With Sunbird Men's and Women's Soccer ready to kick off their 2025 seasons next week, FPU Athletics are instituting a series of changes to improve the gameday experience at Ramirez Field.  As the Steinert Athletic Complex continues to improve its facilities, these changes were made both with the fan in mind and to better serve our gameday personnel including the home and visiting teams and officials.

Here's what you need to know before visiting Ramirez Field this season:
 

---

PARKING

Parking at FPU soccer remains free to all visitors.  The parking lot located off Willow Ave directly north of the playing field is no longer open to the public.  The lot is reserved for FPU team personnel, visiting team busses, match officials, and gameday staff.

General parking for FPU soccer can now be found at the Steinert Athletic Complex parking lot located at 1719 S Winery Ave, at the southeast corner of Winery and Hamilton, in front of Dan Martin Stadium.  Fans will enter through the Steinert Athletic Complex archway and proceed to Ramirez Field.  Assistance to the field for handicapped visitors can be arranged by speaking with the gameday staff at the ticket window.

Overflow parking is across the street in Lot G, on the northwest corner of Winery and Hamilton.  Parking in the unpaved lot directly north of the Steinert Athletic Complex parking lot is not permitted – this lot is property of the Twilight Haven retirement community, and any unauthorized vehicles may be towed.


ENTRANCES

Ramirez Field is only accessible from the Steinert Athletic Complex entry.  There is no longer access via Willow Ave.  


ADMISSION

FPU charges admission to all contests including exhibitions and scrimmages.  Admission is $10 for fans 18 & over.  Fans 17 & under are free.

FPU students, faculty, and staff are free with valid FPU ID.

If you are on the player pass list, please give your name to the attendant at the ticket window.  Please be patient with the attendant as they locate your name on the list.


SMOKING

The FPU campus, including Ramirez Field and the Steinert Athletic Complex, is entirely smoke-free.  Use of tobacco products including vaping and e-cigarettes are not permitted anywhere on FPU grounds.


PROHIBITED ITEMS

• Alcohol 
• Air horns
• Balls of any kind
• Coolers of any size, hard of soft-sided

CONCESSIONS

Concessions will be available at select games, and FPU merchandise will be available for purchase throughout the regular season and for select exhibition games. Food trucks courtesy of Fresno Street Eats will be on location, subject to availability, throughout the season.


RE-ENTRY

Upon entry, you should receive a hand stamp that will allow you re-entry to the stadium.  If you did not receive a hand stamp and need to exit and return to the facility, please see the staff at the ticket window to obtain a hand stamp.


CODE OF CONDUCT

There is a zero-tolerance policy for harassment or abusive language directed at players, coaches, officials, or staff.  Fans may be removed from the property for violating this policy.  Additionally, entering restricted areas such as the field of play or press box without administrative authorization will be grounds for removal.

Gameday and administrative personnel will begin strictly enforcing these policies beginning Saturday, August 23rd.  We kindly ask for your cooperation in adhering to these new rules.
