Tarheel & Brandon Present.....Is That Tournament?????
Location:
Superstars Game Center
30 North 3rd Street San Jose, CA
Parking:
- This is probably the biggest issue when it comes to this tournament.
- There is a parking lot right next to the venue
- 95 N. Third Street, San Jose, CA
- Parking is free in that from 6am - 6pm
- After 6pm it's 4 dollars to get out of where you parked
Directions Using Transit:
Coming From Peninsula:
Using Caltrain Only:
There are alternate routes to the venue for people taking Caltrain:
22 Bus: Take the Caltrain to San Jose Diridon and catch the Eastbound 22 on Santa Clara Street. To get to this stop you will make a left out of the station (or straight if you come out the side) and walk towards the HP Pavilion (down Cahill street). Make a right and then walk until you see a bus stop, sign should have a 22 on it. Board and get off at Santa Clara and 1st. Continue walking down Santa Clara St and make a left. Venue will be on the right side of the street. 30 North 3rd Street. If you went past City Hall on the bus then you rode too far.
If you take the 22 back to the Diridon you will catch the Northbound bus which is on the opposite side where you got off before. Get off at Santa Clara and Montgomery; it's the stop right after the Pavilion. Like right after it so you can miss it if you are not careful
68 Bus: Take the Caltrain to San Jose Diridon and catch the 68 from the train station. Make a left out of the station (straight if you went out the side), go to the rightmost alley in the bus lot, and look at the first stop-- should be bus 68. Take the 68 from the train station and get off at 2nd and Santa Clara St, there will be a grocery store called Zanotto's on the left (this is the same stop people will get off at if they take 181 from bart). If you get to the Safeway then you have gone too far.
To take the 68 back to the station you will need to walk back towards Santa Clara street (left out of the venue). Make a right on Santa Clara and then a left on First Street. There should be a Walgreen's, Subway, and other stuff in this area. The 68 Northbound can be caught at this stop, though I don't remember exactly where it is. It may be kind of far down the street. This NOT the same stop that you got off at to reach the venue (parallel to it). It will take you directly to the Caltrain Station
Neither of these routes should be much, if at all slower, than taking the 522 from Santa Clara station, and they are also cheaper. The express buses (181, 522) cost $4 whereas other buses are $2. It's about a 20-25 min walk from Diridon to the venue for those who don't mind a stroll.
NOTE: If you take BART be sure to grab one of the courtesy transfers from the machine in the lobby. You have to get one before you exit. I think many of the BART stations have VTA transfers, but get the transfers from Fremont to be safe. They will give you a 50% discount on the 181 fare, making it $2 (one way)
Also, Julian knows the public transit in San Jose pretty well, so if you are coming from elsewhere and need directions hit him up
- Caltrain to Santa Clara Station

Last Bus
- Last 522 rapid bus to go back to santa clara station is on santa clara & 1st (where you got off earlier)
- It arrives at 6:29pm
- If you wanna stay longer i suggest taking the 181 bus to fremont bart and bart back to the pennisula, although that would be more expensive

- Bart to Fremont Bart
