The first 5,000 fans will receive an eco-tip guide courtesy by the National Resources Defense Council and flower seed packets will be distributed to the first 4,000 fans, courtesy of America the Beautiful Fund. Also, select fans will receive an Eco-Metro Guide featuring discounts at local, sustainable businesses.

Fans who drive a Hybrid car to the game receive $5 off parking, while patrons who take VTA or Caltrain to the match will receive a $5 discount for a game ticket by showing their VTA or Caltrain receipt. Additionally, the Quakes will implement a new recycling program in conjunction with Odwalla beginning with the May 1 game.
