About this Location

Facility Overview

The Broadway & Cerre Lot is a conveniently situated open-air surface parking facility located at 641 S Broadway in Downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Positioned at the intersection of South Broadway and Cerre Street, this paved lot offers direct, ground-level parking right on the southern edge of the downtown sports and entertainment district. Because this is an uncovered surface parking lot, there are no low-clearance overhangs or vertical height restrictions to contend with. This makes it an ideal parking option not only for standard sedans, compact vehicles, and crossovers, but also for lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, passenger vans, and commercial vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The lot\'s location offers unbeatable convenience for sports fans, concertgoers, and downtown visitors:

Busch Stadium: Home of the St. Louis Cardinals, located just 3 blocks north (approximately a 5 to 7-minute walk, 0.3 miles), making this lot one of the best game-day parking choices to beat the post-game gridlock.
Ballpark Village: St. Louis\' premier sports-anchored entertainment district, offering dining, beer gardens, live concerts, and watch parties just steps from Busch Stadium.
Enterprise Center & Stifel Theatre: Home ice of the NHL St. Louis Blues and host to major touring concerts and theatrical shows, situated roughly 0.7 miles northwest (a 12 to 15-minute walk or a 3-minute rideshare).
Gateway Arch National Park & Riverfront: The iconic national monument and riverfront grounds are accessible within a 15-minute stroll or short trolley/bike ride northeast.
Downtown Hotels & Dining: Close proximity to popular downtown accommodations, including Live! by Loews, Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark, and The Westin St. Louis.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress are straightforward via South Broadway and Cerre Street. Drivers arriving from the greater metropolitan area or crossing from Illinois enjoy exceptionally swift highway connectivity, as the lot sits adjacent to the I-64 (US-40), I-44, and I-55 interchange ramps. This strategic location south of the stadium gives motorists a decisive traffic advantage, allowing them to bypass the congested interior streets of downtown St. Louis when departing after high-attendance Cardinals games or major downtown festivals. Public transit users are also well-served, with the MetroLink light rail accessible at the Stadium Station (8th & Clark) just a 5-minute walk away, linking passengers to Forest Park, St. Louis Union Station, the Central West End, and St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL).

Visitor & Driver Tips

During St. Louis Cardinals home stands and marquee events at Enterprise Center, parking demand around South Broadway rises dramatically. To secure a stall at standard rates, plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes before first pitch or showtime, or pre-purchase your parking reservation via designated parking apps when available. Set your GPS navigation to 641 S Broadway, St. Louis, and take note of your license plate number, as local automated kiosks generally operate on a pay-by-plate enforcement model. When leaving the game, follow Cerre Street toward 7th Street or South Broadway to connect directly to the highway on-ramps while avoiding the heavy pedestrian gridlock on Clark Avenue.
