About PayPal Park
PayPal Park is built for soccer alone in San Jose, California. Its site, called Airport West, adjoins San Jose International Airport. The San Jose Earthquakes of MLS and Bay FC of the NWSL play there. It opened on February 27, 2015, with 18,000 seats. A canopy roof covers the stands, whose steeply raked seating is among the steepest in MLS, for better views. Behind the northeast goal sit a double-sided video scoreboard, a fan zone of 0.81 ha (2 acres) and North America's largest outdoor bar, and the suites and club seats are at field level.
The stadium was built privately, with no public money from the city of San Jose. The groundbreaking on October 21, 2012, had 6,256 participants digging, and that broke the previous world record, which an official Guinness World Records adjudicator verified. While preparing the site, crews found three buried concrete bunkers and several hundred concrete piles left from the previous FMC factory, which pushed back the completion date. The first steel beams went up on November 5, 2013, and the final beam was hoisted on March 28, 2014.
The seat pattern uses three shades of blue plus a scattering of red seats, a nod to the club's NASL history, and it spells "Go EQ" in binary code. For games in North American competitions, advertising rules mean it goes by San Jose Stadium. It was formerly known as Avaya Stadium and, from 2020, Earthquakes Stadium, and it took the PayPal Park name after the Earthquakes announced a 10-year partnership with PayPal on April 5, 2021.

- An open steel frame
- The outer stands are an open web of thin columns and cross braces. Print friendly adapts these slender members to the print scale; Full detail keeps them on a larger print.
- A broad canopy roof
- A wide, thin canopy roof covers the stands. A larger print size keeps its edge sturdy, and layers of 0.12–0.16 mm help keep its flat surfaces clean.
- One piece with the ground
- PayPal Park is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. PayPal Park takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About this model
PayPal Park is one of more than 2,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
Common questions
Is there a PayPal Park STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. PayPal Park grows with the print: about 7 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
Is it free?
Yes. Generation runs in your browser, with no account and nothing behind a paywall.
