Coach Natalie Nakase, for her part, said in a press conference<\/a> that the Valkyries are still playing in their territory.<\/p>\n \u201cEven if we\u2019re in San Jos\u00e9, that\u2019s still considered the Bay. We know that they\u2019re going to travel, our fans are going to come,\u201d she said. \u201cFor us, we\u2019re still at home.\u201d<\/p>\n How to get to SAP Center<\/p>\n If you have never been to SAP Center, you\u2019re in luck: downtown San Jos\u00e9 is very well connected by several public transit agencies.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re coming from the city\u2019s Eastside, you can take the light rail VTA from Alum Rock station straight to San Jos\u00e9-Diridon, which is only one block away from SAP Center.<\/p>\n Caltrain \u2014 which runs from San Francisco through San Mateo County to the South Bay \u2014 also stops at San Jos\u00e9-Diridon. According to a Caltrain news release, the #416 southbound will feature a Valkyries-themed car, giving passengers the chance to win free merch.<\/p>\n Coming in from the East Bay? You can take BART and get off at Berryessa\/North San Jos\u00e9 station and then get on a VTA bus \u2014 specifically the Rapid 500 line \u2014 which will quickly take you straight to SAP Center.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that public transportation in San Jos\u00e9 does not run the whole night. So if you are getting home through transit, be sure of when the last train or bus runs so you don\u2019t get stranded. You can also use trip planners<\/a> to help<\/a> mark your route<\/a>.<\/p>\n Watch the game at a bar<\/p>\n If you are unable to make it to a game, there are bars and restaurants in the Bay<\/a> that show women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n There will likely be more parties announced as we get closer to the Valkyries\u2019 first game.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/SAPCenterGetty.jpg\")
