Big A&M Fan here. Not a former student.

If I can land some tickets I will definitely be there. My understanding is capacity is only 4,000 seats.

I live in SF. Those of you unfamiliar with Bay Area Weather, bring your winter coats for the evenings. Low 50's with wind and fog.

If you have a car and is willing to drive 10 min to Los Altos, you should check out Chef Chu's (1067 N San Antonio Rd, Los Altos, CA 94022) for chinese food. It's been there since 1970 and the food is fantastic! Their chicken salad is fabulous. It's a super nice family that I got to know when I lived in the Bay Area. I highly recommend the restaurant for a sit down meal.

Interesting fact: director of Crazy Rich Asians is the son of the owner of Chef Chu's.

I am already in Palo Alto. See you'll there! Hoping we get enough tickets allotted!
You won't be getting tickets from A&M. We only get enough for player comps at regionals. You will need to buy from Stanford. I believe they go on sale this morning. I don't think there is any danger of a sellout, and tickets should really be plentiful for the first game against Fullerton.

what's the nicest hotel near Stanford? I'm already booked at the Aloft Mountain View but looking to find something closer and nice.

No personal knowledge here, but Google says that the Clement is only .8 miles away and has five stars. It will only set you back $997 per night.

Westin Palo Alto is nice but it's a bit pricey. Sheraton is right next door and they're both just across El Camino from the campus. Stanford Park Hotel is very nice (wedding reception was held there) but probably will require Uber or vehicle as it is not really walking distance to campus.

Those are the three I've been to but it has been 20 years

I don't know anything about the Clement but looks like their rooftop pool is closed for the summer. I don't recall that hotel when I live in the Bay Area so it must be relatively new (last 10 or so years)

Oh, it's an all inclusive food and drinks hotel apparently.

Yes, I can see the ticket sale placeholder. I can try to swing by Stanford incase it gets sold out online. Thanks!

Can someone post the link to the ticket sales? My sophomore is actually in the area working for the summer. Want to share with him so he can get tickets to go support the team.

Thanks! That page isn't loading for me. You'd figure being in the middle of technology hub, they wouldn't have issues with the page

Edit - It finally loaded after like 5 minutes.

MacArthur Park is a pretty good place for dinner. It's right by the Palo Alto Caltrain station and walking distance to campus.

I'm a Senior Petroleum student, and I just booked the flight! I went to Omaha and Hoover last year and loved it! I also have family in the area to stay with.

I booked the flight alone, I can't find any other students who can go to California on a 4 day notice, so if anyone is open to getting tickets together, Please reach out!

My number is (865) 567-3662


Probably not a lot of students who can drop $1000+ to go watch a baseball game.

Here's some tips/thoughts for people visiting from out of town:

In terms of airports they're both (SJC and SFO) pretty close, but SFO might actually be closer. If you find cheaper tickets at OAK, that's not even that crazy if you rent a car anyway; even if you fly in on Friday during rush hour to Oakland, you're going to be going counter commute on the bridges.

If you have time, GO to San Francisco. There are many fair criticisms of the city, the people, state whatever. Its not anywhere close to the dystopian hellscape some people make it seem like. If you stay outside of some niche areas you have no reason to go to, you might not see a single homeless person at all. Go the Bridge, go the fisherman's wharf, go to all the touristy places. You'll enjoy it. Bring a medium jacket;/sweatshirt/hoodie; it'll be cold. An option to get there is to take them Cal Train Palo Alto Station to the final stop in San Francisco and walking from there.

Stanford itself is a unique and beautiful campus. If you go up Hoover tower, you'll get a beautiful view of the entire Bay Area; I think its free to do so. There's also a LOT of really cool naturey areas and hikes around. IF people are interested in those, just respond and I can recommend some. One that's on campus is a hike around the famous Stanford Dish.

In terms of food, the best Asian food in the entire country is arguably in and close to Palo Alto. I think akm91 already mentioned a Chinese spot. Good sushi is everywhere here. One of the fanciest Indian restaurants in American is in Palo Alto: Ettan. I have some other recommendations for Indian food further south too if people are interested.

The weather will be nice! Bring sunglasses and prepare for night to be colder than you expect. I hope everyone enjoys their visit! Hopefully the Ags advance!

Will likely just buy on Stubhub for the Saturday/Sunday games as the results come in

Had to click on the Dish link you provided and was promptly warned about rogue coyotes... Ha! There's literally coyotes in my yard every freaking night but I've never felt the need to publicize it. consider yourselves forewarned if you come over.

Quote:

The Dish status: Open
MATADERO TRAIL CLOSURE 5/22/23-5/26/23 due to erosion repairs.
COYOTE ALERT: There has been recent coyote activity in this area. Please be mindful of your surroundings. Please report sightings to Stanford University Public Safety Office at [url=tel650)724-7441](650)724-7441[/url].

I suggest calling. I could never get my order to go through but was able to secure tickets by phone @ 800-Stanford.

Perfect solution. I got stuck in payment for atleast 5 tries. Called them and got my tickets. See you'll there. BTHO Stanford Regionals

Ditto. I suggest calling. No long hold times. The website is not accurate.

I secured 2 tickets in Section 3 behind 1st base dugout for $20 each.

I got my tickets to the Fullerton game from the Stanford site. There's still a lot of tickets left.

I have seen the aggie play ball for 30 years. I'm excited.

Question: Do you think there will be aggie merchandise for sale on site? I can't find anything in Sacamento and it's to late to order on line.

Hi A&M Fans,

As a ASU fan, I was broken hearted when Mike Early was smartly picked up by your team. However, I can't wait for you to visit Stanford where I actually live close to... Go Aggies Go.

I own the three tickets directly next to the visiting dugout all year at Stanford for one reason and one reason only, to be right next to the dugout, and root against Stanford. I am out of town for most of the weekend, so I won't be able to do that and I am hoping some A&M fans would like to be right next to the dugout. Literally right next to it, you have the on deck circle five feet from you to your right, and Schloss' and staff five feet to your left.

Before I post them on Stubhub, I figured I'd offer them here to anyone who is traveling (and no, I don't want the $141 per ticket someone in my row is asking for on Stubhub - not even close). I am selling for $60 per ticket to Friday nights game. VenMo only and tickets come immediately to you. While dugouts have not been announced, and won't be - it makes the most sense Stanford would put San Jose State in their home dugout, and the Aggies in the true visiting dugout.

Go Aggies!

Tamarine on University in Palo Alto is an upscale Vietnamese restauarant that's been there for over a decade if I remember correctly. The food is good but pricey.
