Venue Address

Leavey Center

500 El Camino Real

Santa Clara, CA 95053

Situated on Santa Clara University’s campus, the arena is approximately 5 miles from downtown San Jose and about 45 miles south of San Francisco — a convenient hub for South Bay fans and visiting supporters alike.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in university lots; parking fees may apply during events. Arrive early for the best selection and shortest walk to the entrance.
• Public Transit: Accessible by VTA bus routes and Caltrain (Santa Clara station nearby), with a short walk from transit stops to the arena.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are located near the arena entrance for a smooth arrival and departure.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event start time. Early arrival helps you secure preferred parking in university lots, breeze through entry, and settle in before warmups and introductions. It also gives you time to explore the spacious concourse and merchandise stands without missing any early action.

Because Leavey Center is an indoor arena, weather typically isn’t a factor — but comfortable layers are always smart in a collegiate arena environment. If you’re meeting friends or family, designate a spot on the concourse near a merchandise stand or concession area so everyone can find each other easily.

If you’ve secured Leavey Event Center tickets for a high-demand game or a WCC tournament session, aim for the earlier side of the 60–90 minute window. This helps avoid lines at both the parking gates and arena entry, and gives you time to review the seating map and policies before tipoff.

Venue Navigation

The arena’s layout is straightforward and fan-friendly, with a spacious main concourse that circles the seating bowl. You’ll find concession stands serving snacks, soft drinks, and light meals, as well as team merchandise stands located in the main concourse.

Local beer and wine are available at select events, and ATMs are conveniently located in the concourse. With minimal walking and elevation changes throughout the building, it’s easy to navigate between your seats, concessions, and exits — even during busy intermissions.

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.
• Arrive 60–90 minutes early for the best parking options in university lots.
• Take a moment outside the arena to enjoy views of Santa Clara University’s historic campus before heading in.

Pre-Event Planning

Build in time to enjoy the campus atmosphere before the game. The Leavey Center sits right in the heart of Santa Clara University, with notable views of the historic Mission Santa Clara de Asís nearby — a great backdrop for photos and a quick stroll.

Traveling with a group? Set a meeting point on the concourse or outside near the main entrance to simplify coordination. With flexible seating and a compact layout, it’s easy to regroup at halftime for concessions or a merchandise run without missing the start of the next period.

For marquee matchups and West Coast Conference tournament sessions, plan your transportation ahead of time. Consider public transit to the nearby Caltrain station or rideshare to the designated zones to minimize parking wait times and streamline your arrival.

Accessibility

Leavey Center is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking available in adjacent lots, accessible seating throughout the arena, and elevators and ramps providing access to all seating levels. Assistive listening devices are available upon request to support guests with hearing needs.
