Santa Ana Stadium, also known as Eddie West Field or the Santa Ana Bowl, is a city-owned and operated 9,000 seat American football and soccer stadium located in downtown Santa Ana. The field was named after Eddie West, a writer for the Orange County Register and tireless supporter of the Santa Ana College Dons and all Orange County sports. Current tenants include the Santa Ana Unified School District's High School football teams, the Santa Ana College Dons football team, and the Mater Dei Monarchs football team. The upstart United Premier Soccer League, founded in Santa Ana, also holds occasional exhibition and league playoff matches at the stadium, for its various clubs. The stadium is serviced by the Orange County Transit Authority Bus Routes 51, 145 and 462 and is 1.4 miles west of the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC). Travelers using regional rail may transfer from Metrolink or Amtrak at SARTC to OCTA Route 462 to Santa Ana Blvd and Flower Street. Santa Ana Stadium is scheduled to be serviced by streetcar, through the Santa Ana-Garden Grove Fixed Guideway and streetcar project, or OC Streetcar, which will travel from the east terminus at SARTC and stop at Santa Ana Blvd and Flower Street. The streetcar is scheduled to open in 2020. The city's stadium holds many events in addition to its high school and college football main draws, including children's and adult soccer games through local leagues, high school and college commencement ceremonies and more.
