We encourage fans to research alternative traffic routes when attending Chargers Home games. Interstate 15 to Friars Rd is the most congested traffic artery into Qualcomm Stadium and can expect heavy traffic and major delays beginning at 10:30 AM. We strongly urge fans to arrive early, carpool or use the San Diego Trolley. The stadium parking lot can be expected to close almost two hours prior to kickoff during events with capacity crowds (50,000 or more).
