Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

Parking options (opens in a new tab)

Reserved donor areas plus open general lots

What to do
Use the current SASO baseball parking map. VIP, skybox, loge, and qualifying season-ticket areas are reserved, while lots not marked reserved are open parking.
Best option
Open general lots are available where the map does not mark a reservation. Accessible spaces are first come, first served near each entrance with the required state plate or hangtag and disabled identification.
Avoid
Do not enter a donor lot without the current pass or leave expecting routine re-entry. The stadium's scan and re-entry rules make a return trip to the vehicle risky after admission.

Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Clear bag & Main Gate

The Main Gate handles the pass gate, while every drop-off is directed to the first-base entrance. Those are better final-approach targets than the general stadium address.

02

Mixed

First-base drop-off

Accessible restrooms are under the main grandstand. Other restrooms are also near the first-base concession stand and on the skybox level by the elevators.

03

Positive

Reserved versus open parking

Concessions are under the main grandstand and right-field bleachers and accept cash and major credit cards. Alcohol purchased inside cannot be carried onto Coleman Hill.

Editorial verdict

FanProof Takeaway

Reviewed 10.14.26

Bring a clear bag or small clutch, use the first-base entrance for drop-off, follow the current reserved-versus-open parking map, and keep everything needed inside because ordinary re-entry is not a safe assumption.
