I attended the California Clasico this year, and it was my first chance to see a big event at Stanford Stadium. I've been to a lot of events in my life, and as someone who lives in SJ, I was wondering why this event wasn't at Levi's Stadium.

Although, most of the perspective on the experience is based on comparing amenities at other college campus events. Overall, the experience was great, the food was great, and the people were great. The traffic was a nightmare.

Yeah, traffic ruined the whole thing. If you're coming to an event here, you have to think like a college kid. Show up early, tailgate, and don't plan on leaving right after the event. There are only a couple of two lane roads the lead in and out of the venue, it's a nightmare.

This traffic aspect of the event was a constant reminder of the mismatched approach to holding a professional game at an amateur venue. There was no alcohol served at a soccer match primarily attended by Latino adults. That's a nonstarter.

Next year, I hope they consider moving the event to Levi's Stadium.
