I am only going to review the stadium and the facilities itself. They were perfect. Immaculate grounds, the bathroom facilities were like a five-star hotel. Absolutely wonderful. The courtyard in front of the stadium was again wonderful and the parking structure for the stadium was state of the art and confusingvas hell but more than adequate. Overall very well kept grounds. The stadium deserves a five-star rating.
The reason why I'm only reviewing the stadium and not the experience is because the experience should be a negative zero if there is such a thing. Horrible inept hired security personnel who didn't know where to direct me. I ended up in the confusing main parking structure. It's separated into three different areas for the stadium events, the dorms and a oned off area for employees of a company whose name I can't recall. I got lost a total of three times, two of those times ending up where the dorms are, thinking I was headed back to the front of the structure but it was on the side of it. If it wasn't so hot and humid and I wasn't wearing a knee brace I would've walked the incline, but I honestly didn't know where I was in relation to the entrance of the parking structure!
I arrived at the school at 1:15 pm for my nephew's football game that started at 1 p.m. I knew my family was going to be tailgating so I was directed to the tailgating section. They weren't there. I drove down to the entrance of the stadium where I was informed by yet another security personnel that the tailgating section is in the same place that I had just left but I needed to ask one of the security personnel. Like an idiot I did exactly what he said and I ended up at the exact same spot, on a crest overlooking the stadium on the home side. It was now 2:25 in the afternoon and I finally figured out the parking structure and rode a golf cart shuttle to the stadium entrance. I was informed by a very helpful gentleman that there is No visitor tailgating section because the visiting school didn't inform the University of San Diego that they Needed a tailgating section. They also told me that I couldn't enter with some brownies I made for my nephew so I had to return them to the car in the dreaded parking structure. I had had it and texted my family that I was just going drive the two and a half hours back home because it had been too frustrating, but thankfully they talked me out of it. My younger nephew came and found me and walked me in to the game. After all these delays I walked into the stadium at 1 minute past 3 p.m. By that time I didn't have to present my ticket that I paid for online. In the end I was able to enjoy giving my nephew his brownies and celebrating the win with him and the rest of the family.
What a horrifying experience for anybody who's not from town who did not know their way around. I was misdirected 3 different times including once by an older security person who put up a fight with me that the stadium does NOT have Visitor and Home sides. Even though I told him that the University of San Diego website has a very clear map of home and visitor sides in the stadium (and another security guard showed me that there are home and visitor sides), this older staff person walked away and waved me off to do "whatever I wanted" because there's no home and visitor sides.
I had one great experience with a Hispanic middle aged driver of one of the shuttle golf carts who pointed out what building was what, how I could get over to the stadium, where I should park my car, where the restrooms were (then drove me there) and encouraged me to stay so I can meet up with my family. He was exceptional and to my shame I do not know his name. I do know that I'm eternally grateful to somebody who took the time to explain things on a hot California summer day to someone who was not from the area.

Fun venue, seats are quite close to the field, and the food vendors were fantastic. Bonus points for some awesome SoCal sunsets.
Great stadium to watch a Loyals soccer game.
Great place to watch a game! Whether it's soccer or lax, there isn't a bad seat in the stadium. The bleacher seating can get tight, but that makes it more intimate of a crowd. A decent variety of good and drinks as well.
Good parking at the structure if you can get in but otherwise park at the County’s Office of Education parking lot. The stadium has good restrooms and a nice quad area with space for several food trucks / tents. For the San Diego Loyal games, it would be cool if the kids activity area was pushed over a little into the large, unused space instead of where everyone is trying to walk.
Small stadium without many bad seats. Great place to see the San Diego Loyals play. Missing railings on the north side stands.
Great University, at the Terrero Stadium, to watch a winning Soccer team. The San Diego Loyals won during the last two minutes of the end of game. Great variation of food and delicious catered Lemon, Thyme Roasted Chicken with bourbon BBQ for the members.
