Before the Ceremony
Located at 2000 Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, CA 92806, Angel Stadium provides a unique and exciting experience to celebrate our graduates’ accomplishments. The campus leverages the entire stadium environment to create tailored and individualized experiences for our graduates and their families. We are thrilled to expand upon last year's successful Beach takeover of the Stadium and extend a warm welcome to the Class of 2024 as they join the CSULB Alumni community.
Angel Stadium offers a versatile venue that can accommodate our increasing number of graduates and provide ample seating for their guests. By utilizing the stadium, we ensure an engaging and memorable experience for our graduates while accommodating the growth in both graduate and guest capacity.
Students will check in and pick up their MarchingOrder Grad Pass at Tunnel A, line up in the tunnel with their departments, then process into the stadium and into their seats for the program.

Each guest ticket grants entry to the stadium for one person only, and once a ticket is scanned at a gate, it becomes void. We kindly remind you that all guests, including children aged 3 and above, must have a ticket for entry.
