Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Icardo Center

9001 Stockdale Hwy

Bakersfield, California 93311

Located on the campus of California State University, Bakersfield, the arena is easily accessible within Bakersfield’s southwest corridor.

• Parking: On-campus parking is available in university lots near the arena; fees may apply during events.
• Public Transit: Kern Transit and GET Bus routes serve the CSUB area, offering limited but convenient access for select schedules.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare pickup and dropoff are available near main campus entrances; follow on-site signage and event staff directions.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive about 60 minutes before your event. This window gives you time to park in the campus lots, pass through entry, and find your seats without rushing — especially for high-demand games and matches.

As an indoor arena, the Icardo Center keeps you comfortable year-round, so weather is generally not a factor once you step inside. If you’re parking a bit farther out in campus lots, expect a short, straightforward walk on level pathways.

If you’re using public transit, check Kern Transit and GET Bus schedules in advance, as service frequency can vary on evenings and weekends. Rideshare is a reliable alternative — arrange dropoff near a main campus entrance and follow posted signs to the arena.

Venue Navigation

The Icardo Center layout supports multiple NCAA Division I sports, so entry points and interior flow are designed for quick access to the court area. You’ll find concessions and restrooms open during events, with merchandise available for select Roadrunners matchups.

Wayfinding is intuitive, and accessible entrances and ramps make it easy to navigate for all guests. Comfortable footwear is recommended if you plan to explore campus before or after the event.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Bag policies vary by event — please review your event listing and check the venue's official website for the latest guidelines before you go.
• Prohibited Items: Prohibited items vary by event — please review your event listing and venue policy updates prior to arrival.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Allow extra time for on-campus parking; event-day fees may apply.
• Since it’s an indoor venue, you won’t need weather gear once inside — but a light layer can be handy for air-conditioned seating.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by exploring the CSUB campus before the game. The landscaping is especially pleasant in spring, and an early arrival gives you time to soak in the atmosphere, take photos, and pick up Roadrunners gear when available.

If you’re coordinating with a group, choose a meet-up spot near a main campus entrance or outside the arena. Share your digital tickets in advance and use our Icardo Center seating chart to align on preferred sections when you buy, so everyone sits together.

For a quick bite before tipoff or the first serve, The Marketplace area nearby offers plenty of dining choices — ideal for pre-game fuel or a celebratory stop after the final whistle.
