Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

Parking options (opens in a new tab)

three team-controlled paid lots open 90 minutes before first pitch

What to do
Choose one of the three team-controlled paid lots before joining downtown traffic. The lots open 90 minutes before first pitch, 25 minutes before the normal public gate.
Best option
Drivers who want the simplest operator-controlled plan should use the current game-day parking information and arrive after the lots open 90 minutes before first pitch.
Avoid
Do not infer a free lot, price, or shuttle from the general A-Z guide. It confirms three paid team-controlled lots but does not publish those details in the reviewed parking entry.
