Toyota Stadium is mid-renovation. The east side reopened in September 2026, and since fall 2026 the entire west and north sides, including their concourses, concessions and seating, are closed until the project is finished (targeted for early 2028). Expect a different layout from 2026 Renegades games, when a sideline was closed for the first phase. Source
