Fans who haven't
renewed their season tickets will need to do so by the April 15 deadline.
Renew by that deadline to lock in current pricing for both the 2026 and 2027 seasons. Season ticket holders will also be granted early entrance at FanFest in August and have early access to discounted single-game tickets this summer.
Parking requests are also due by April 15. Parking allocation will begin at the start of May, allocated by Yosef Club membership level and then rank within that level. Parking requests are not guaranteed as lots are expected to be at full capacity again in 2026 (
