San Jose Earthquakes History
The San Jose Earthquakes trace back to the San Jose Clash, one of the 10 original Major League Soccer teams. In a gesture honoring the long history of the city’s former NASL soccer franchise, the name changed to the Earthquakes by the end of the '90s.
The Earthquakes have won the MLS Cup twice, in 2001 and 2003. The team claimed their first Supporters’ Shield for the league’s best record in 2005, and earned their second in 2012 at the height of their “Goonies Era,” which has lived on in Quakes fan culture. The team's anthem, written by South Bay native and Rancid singer Lars Frederiksen, is "Never Say Die."
In 2023, the Earthquakes hired former San Jose forward Luchi Gonzalez as head coach. Gonzalez has adopted a style of play referred to as “Luchi Ball,” which emphasizes possession and counter-pressing, and the Earthquakes subsequently qualified for their first playoff berth since 2020.

San Jose Earthquakes at PayPal Park
In the early days of MLS, the Earthquakes played in San Jose State University's Spartan Stadium. Today they play in PayPal Park, a privately financed, soccer-specific stadium that features a player tracking system similar to the one used by the Quakes' Bay Area neighbors, the Golden State Warriors of the NBA.
Quakes fan culture developed heavily during the team’s mid-’10s “Goonies Era.” The team's anthem, written by South Bay native and Rancid singer Lars Frederiksen, is "Never Say Die" as a nod to The Goonies characters’ famous catchphrase.
The San Jose Earthquakes’ 2024 regular season kicks off in February at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas, when the Earthquakes face off against FC Dallas. San Jose hosts their home opener against the LA Galaxy on March 2. The Earthquakes play their final match of the regular season at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California against Western Conference rivals Los Angeles FC. Here’s a list of key matches to keep an eye on:

We arrived about 1 hour before kick off time, and beat most traffic. There isn't a bad seat in the stadium. We were at the midline, about 21 rows up, but the view was incredible! The E-quakes pulled off a convincing victory over a Northwest rival, Seattle Sounders, and we beat them soundly! Great family environment, music and eating/drinking venues. Looking forward to returning soon.
Cristian Espinosa scores are earth shattering. The ambiance is very family friendly.
it was a enjoyable and fun experience. The only concern is was I wanted a 360 view of my seats. I would choose better seats. The 360 view of the seats can be seen when you go to BMO stadium in LAFC.
Nice to see bigger crowd this year and all the enthusiasm from supporter groups on both ends (could do without the F LA cheers, surely more creative supporter cheers can be sung). Coming back twice was nice, and although we sure would have loved a third goal like several past Classicos. But overall a great effort by Quakes. Fireworks were superb - a fitting end to another Classico.
42,000 people gather at Stanford Stadium aching to be part of a fun night. The team’s’ unconstructed defenses were only matched by the chaotic pace of play with no purpose or reason. The officiating was terrible. It all culminated in a frustrating, halting final 10 minutes of “play”. Soccer games take 2 hours. Full stop. This one ran past 2:30. The league and these teams can do better.
The parking was horrible and chaotic. The event itself was fun!
Hello my name is Mario, I bought 5 tickets for the game and this is our 4th game attended as a family of 5 against LA galaxy & that time is always amazing and well spent. Thank you for the great/amazing show.
Great seats and good food parking lot good prices
Venue is good. Event was fun. Got within a mile of stadium in our car 2 hours before kickoff and then sat in traffic for 2 hours. Missed kickoff. Apparently Stanford event staff is only used to about 5000 people coming to games at Stanford stadium because they had no clue how to get people moving even though we had prepaid parking and were (what should have been) on site early enough
Parking at Stanford stadium a was an absolute disaster. We were sitting in traffic for 1h outside the stadium and missed a big chunk of first half. Never going to an Earthquake game at Stanford again. One shouldn’t have to arrive 3h before the game starts, this is not the Camp Nou with a capacity of 100,000 people... horrible.
we missed the first half of the game sitting in a line to park - we got to the stadium and then waiting over 1 hour to be slowly directed to a dirt lot. the parking attendant said we were lucky and some people had waited over 2 hours. the second half of the game and the fireworks were great but for the price of parking and the price of the tickets - its beyond frustrating to miss half the game because the venue can't handle parking (for an event that wasn't even sold out.)
Nice people and they are all good!!! Excellent service!! Good food
Good atmosphere and a reasonable standard of football. Can’t blame the Earthquakes for it being pretty cold.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed watching the San Jose Earthquakes play soccer. It seemed like all seats had a good view of the field. We were a few sections away from the noisy “Ultra” fans and the noise level was okay. Security wS well-organized and lines flowed smoothly. The food vendors for the stadium were poorly trained and lacking in communication skills.
I had hella fun , my family also had fun , drinks and soccer what else could you want ? Just an awesome atmosphere all around, love the halftime show with fantasma
Great soccer game at LEVI’S Stadium! Parking was easy-peasy and the game was memorable. The only two glitches were the distance of the parking lot and the long line for food. I didn’t know how far the lot was to the game, so I didn’t allow enough time in my planning. I arrived about 5 minutes late to the game. Also, the long lines for food prevented me from getting back to my seat in time during the halftime show. So, I missed the whole halftime show and part of the game. :/ Food options were about average for a stadium of this size, so don’t expect anything gourmet. Otherwise, the game was so much fun and the fam had a blast!! ^__^
Took my grandsons to see their first professional soccer game the other night and we all had a great time! Seats were perfect! Grandsons got to hold up the big fan flag, they thought that was cool.we win the game 3-0 Then after the game #10 signed one of my grandsons jersey which made he’s night priceless. The player also took a photo with both them. Thank you to #10 (Espinoza)
Super well organized, cashless is great and makes everything faster
This was the worst event ever that I have attended. Or let me say tried to attend. We came 2 1/2 hours early and were stuck in traffic for 1/2 a mile with no movement. When we finally got to parking area we had 30 minutes left in game. We were parked in a dirt lot with minimal lights and major holes. We prepaid for parking, that we never used because no one was charging for parking. By the time we got to our seats front row mind you that we traveled 19 hours to come see this game a anniversary trip, we only got to see 10 minutes of the game. No traffic control getting into stadium. I will never attend an event hosted at this stadium nor will I recommend anyone go to this event. People working parking told us we needed to be there 5 hours earlier. Totally unacceptable. Ticketmaster, Stanford Stadium, and both soccer organizations should really rethink think how they handle this situation. There were cars lined up way behind us and I am sure those people never got into the stadium. People work hard for their money and then want to go to these once in a lifetime events and to not even get to enjoy the game sucks. The stadium could have been packed more but do to the traffic issue seats were not full.
