Estadio Azteca Soccer Arena

Anyone looking for a player. I just moved up here North from southern Cali I’m looking to play.

Let me start by saying that unless you’re a part of the normal Azteca group that loiters around there and has nothing else to do with their lives then you won’t receive service that’s even a little bit good.
The referees are also very bad and I doubt any of them are certified. Azteca has had the same Mexican referees since it opened so if you’re team is also no Latino then don’t expect to get any calls for your team. They are very rude, arrogant people. If you’re not apart of their little «click» you will just be told to shut up or you’ll get a card.
Now last is the drop ins they have. The drop ins are first to score wins and they let as many teams in as they possibly can and nobody keeps track so you just have a bunch of people arguing about who’s on the field next. This is possibly one of the worst places for drop ins.
Safe to say I wouldn’t come here ever again. If there was an ethics board for this kind of thing then I would’ve already complained. Maybe I should gather proof of their blatant racism towards everyone and file a complaint with the BBB.

Love this location, but the front desk people are always completely rude over the phone and in person. Always extremely disrespectful. Anytime I call I’m put on hold for 6+ minutes. Then one time our U-​8 girls played a team and one of the girls on the opposing team was about 12 years old. We asked the front desk lady for the girls player card and she would not take care of it. The 12 year old player was a danger to our team. The front desk ladies excuse was that she was too busy checking in players. For the next team!

Good set up for indoor soccer. One field. Good refs. Excellent food for such a place. The best ices and burritos too. Owner is always present and helpful.
Lots of parking out front and around the building I never have trouble finding parking. Its a bit cold in there but again it is a warehouse!
Upgraded the screens so that’s god.
Lots of drop ins that I liked.

Very awesome indoor soccer arena! Very professional staff, well run and organized. Outstanding ref on Saturday mornings who even helps teach the young 6−8yr old girls when there’s a penalty, so they learn and start to understand the game even more!
There’s a full service snack bar serving all sorts of breakfast and lunch foods.
The arena can be a bit cold in the mornings, but there are multiple heat lamps hanging from the ceiling around the bleachers.
Love this place! Highly recommend!

Great coed and women’s soccer available! Some of the most competitive I have ever played. Also there is a small bar and grill inside with good tacos and beer :-)
They also seem to stay open the latest with Drop in soccer lasting until 2am some nights

Refs are biased.

We played two seasons with our U8 and U9 competitive boys teams. The first year we faired okay, I believe we came in second or third. The second season we came in 1^st place.
My rating is based on 2 things the quality of the refs and their management’s way of dealing with our concerns.
For two years the refs failed to control the fouling and conduct of the players on the pitch. At this age and level of completion, boys should not be allowed to lash out, curse and purposely fouls other players, which were actions that were all allowed by the referees. Not once did the refs even talk to the players committing the infractions. It was really sad to see player learning that fouls and this type of attitude are part of a game I love.
Upon complaining to the management, we were told that the complaints need to be filed in writing at the time of the issue. We understand this and when we play elsewhere we will be doing just that. We did, however believe that the manager should have at least attempted to bring our concerns up with his refs.
Oh, also make sure they schedule the number of games they advertise. Two years in a row they shorted up a game. The second year we argued and got back a partial payment. That is why the manager and staff were furious with us.
Anyhow… we learned our lesson and will use this place as a last resort.

I write this review as a regular spectator and significant other of someone who plays at Azteca.
I’m not going to review about how the arena is located in a seriously sketchy part of town since I suspect that this keeps prices down, which is highly appreciated. I also appreciate their snack stand and the bleachers provided for spectators.
Instead, this review will be based on the consistent unprofessionalism that I have experienced with this arena. Games are scheduled and put on the website. However, it’s pointless to follow these times since they are OFTEN changed as late as the night before the game. Sometimes the arena will call the night before to let you know about the change, but sometimes they don’t. It’s inconsistent. On repeated occasions, teams have had to play several players short because of these changes. I assure you this impacts the course of the game. When questioned, the response is usually that they changed it to accommodate a schedule change from one team… but should it really be at the expense of all the other teams? This is a business, and it needs to consider all it’s paying members, not just one.
The only other thing I can comment on is the INconsistency of the refs overseeing each game. Some calls are made, others are completely ignored. Also, the refs often allow precious game time to be wasted waiting for one team to get their players on the field (even when the team has the minimum amount of players to avoid a forfeit). With just 2 23-​minute halves, it’s good to use all that time playing the game.
Honestly, the only thing that keeps us coming back here is the proximity to downtown. I wonder how well Azteca would do if there were another indoor arena in the downtown area.

Nestled in the middle of absolute nowhere, one would never guess that an indoor soccer stadium was ever here! You definitely need to GPS or get directions to this place if you’ve never been there before. Driving at night, especially can be tricky if you don’t have a good sense of direction. The stadium has plenty of parking in the front or on the street. You walk in and you can hear people playing soccer. The stadium really does try to cater to the entire family; there are old (and I mean OLD) video game machines (i.e. the Simpsons, NBA, race cars, Mortal Combat) and a small café that provides all the necessary sodas and fountain drinks you’d want. There are plenty of seating areas for family/​friends to watch the game, just make sure yo don’t drop anything down the bleacher seats. Enjoy!

Azteca is my first experience for Sacramento Indoor Soccer, but as it is the closest field to downtown it get’s a positive review just for that. Now getting to the complex is the most sketchy backwater way to find a soccer field being that you’re at the crossroads of a few warehouses next to the railroad tracks running over Del Paso. There’s a Bus yard next door, and i don’t even know what the other buildings are, so for a late game you feel like you’re driving into a horror movie scene because you don’t see a single person besides the speckling of a few cars once you come up to the address of the field. Once you walk in it’s a nice suprise with a big field centered in the building and bleachers on either side. There is even a dining area front and center for concessions. I don’t exactly like the game times being so late (latest game is 10:40pm) for the men’s league. Play is competitive and the field turf is in good shape. Wearing indoor flats don’t grip the feax-​turf that well on cutting so it would be idea to wear the indoor nub cleats. A net covers the field and high walls so whenever the ball hits it”s a stoppage in play and a free kick to the other team. This leads to lots of restarts, but there isn’t much else you can do except for just keep the ball down. Player registration and check-​in is biometric which is pretty cool and quick that leads to keeping the ruffians out of playing, only people that have paid and registered can play. I’d have to play at the other suburban indoor complexes but I surely don’t mind playing at Azteca since it’s so close to downtown.
