Getting there
Subaru Park is in Chester, about 30 minutes from Center City on Regional Rail. On Union match days a free shuttle runs from the train station to the stadium every 20 minutes, starting 4 hours before kickoff, and keeps running after the match until everyone's gone. Show your SEPTA ticket to board.
Getting here from…
- Center City
- Take Regional Rail's Wilmington/Newark Line from Jefferson, Suburban or 30th Street to Chester Transportation Center (6th & Welsh St), then the free Union shuttle.
- North Philly
- Catch the Wilmington/Newark Line at Temple University station and ride to Chester, then take the shuttle.
- South Philly
- SEPTA bus Route 37 runs from Broad & Snyder toward Chester.
- Delco & 69th Street
- SEPTA bus Routes 109 and 113 run from 69th Street Transit Center.
Philly tip: The shuttle stop is at Seaport Drive and Reaney Street, across from Lot D.
Parking and tailgating
Lots A, B, C, F, G, H, J, K and L are $30 per car, tax included. Every lot is cashless, and you can buy a pass ahead online. Lots open 5 hours before kickoff. Lot C is for campers, trailers and oversized vehicles, and Lot F is the accessible lot. Lot D is for premium season ticket members.
Tailgate only in the space right behind your car (within about 2 feet), not in empty spots. You can also eat and drink on the grass at Subaru Plaza. No glass and no charcoal grills.
Gates
There are four entrances: the IBX Gate (northeast), the Subaru Gate (northwest), the Supporters' Gate (southwest) and the Club and Suite Entrance (north).
Subaru Plaza opens 2 hours before kickoff. The Subaru Gate, clubs, suites and Heineken Deck open 90 minutes before, and general admission opens 1 hour before. Times can change for weather. Security uses walk-through scanners.
Bags and what to leave home
Bags must be clear and smaller than 14″ × 14″ × 6″. No backpacks or camera bags, and no outside food or drinks of any kind, with exceptions for medical needs and parents of infants.
Also not allowed: umbrellas, strollers in the seating areas, GoPros and lenses over 8 inches, selfie sticks, air horns, whistles and other noisemakers, smoke bombs, drones, balls and balloons. There's no smoking, and no re-entry.
Inside Subaru Park
Subaru Park opened in 2010 and seats 18,500 for soccer, with open views of the Commodore Barry Bridge and the Delaware River. The River End (sections 134–140) is where the Sons of Ben stand and sing for all 90 minutes. Visiting team colors, including red, aren't allowed there.
New in 2026: a standing room area above section 114. Family restrooms are behind sections 106 and 124, there's a nursing pod behind section 125, and Guest Services is behind section 113. Kids 2 and under can sit on a lap without a ticket.
Philly tip: Want the loudest seats in the building? The River End. Want to sit down? Pick anywhere else.
Tickets and accessibility
SeatGeek is the Union's official ticketing partner, and tickets live in the Philadelphia Union app, linked to your SeatGeek account. Reselling tickets anywhere on stadium grounds isn't allowed.
Every public entrance is accessible. Accessible seating is on every level, elevators are behind sections 107/108, 117 and 122, and first aid is behind sections 107 and 129.
