Visitor & Driver Tips
Plan your driving approach keeping in mind that Pine Street runs one-way eastbound. If coming from the west, approach via Pine Street; if approaching from Tucker Boulevard or Market Street, navigate via 9th or 10th Street to turn onto Pine. During major sporting events at Busch Stadium or Enterprise Center, flat-rate event pricing may be in effect, and spaces can fill up rapidly—arriving 45 to 60 minutes before scheduled start times is recommended. Ensure that you enter your correct vehicle license plate number into the payment app or on-site pay station immediately after parking to prevent citations.
