This is only subject to promoter's/renters wishing to charge parking for their own events. Call our administration office for more information about this policy at (916) 786-2023.

Excludes grandstands. A full grounds rental is typically charged at $11,000.00 per event day, with set-up and/or dismantle days charged at $2,750.00 each, versus 20% of gross sales on gate admission, vendor fees, parking fees and concessions, after deduction of state sales tax, whichever is greater. Pricing is subject to change depending on the type of event and all full grounds rentals should seek inquiries from the general manager for final pricing. Call our office at (916) 786-2023 for more information.
 

There is a $200.00 nonrefundable reservation fee required to hold event date.  This deposit is applied to the total facility rental fee.  Fifty percent (50%) of the balance is due thirty (30) days prior to event and is nonrefundable should renter cancel the agreement.  Remaining balance is due ten (10) days prior to event date.  Payments made within ten (10) days prior to an event will only be accepted in cash, cashiers check or money order.  A minimum charge of $25.00, maximum up to the full extent of the law, will be charged for returned checks.  A security deposit will be charged to guarantee contract compliance, and is refundable less any applicable charges.* 

* There will be a $100.00 charge for each building key not returned within three (3) days after the end of the event.
 

Maximum facility rental day is from 8:00 am to Midnight.  All cleaning by Renter shall be completed by 2:00 am of the day following the event. All events require an attendant be present during event and clean-up hours (at no additional fee).
 

The cost of night cleaning of a building for a back-to-back rental will be charged to the renting party that creates the need.  Our standard procedure is to clean during normal work hours on the next regular workday.  It takes 4 to 8 hours, depending on the building and type of event, to do a complete cleanup.  We will charge a flat $250.00 fee for this activity.
