Facility Overview
Located at 619-641 S Broadway in Downtown St. Louis, MO, this Metropolis parking facility operates as an accessible open-air surface parking lot strategically situated on the southern perimeter of the downtown core. Because it is an uncovered surface lot, it offers completely open vertical clearance with zero overhead height restrictions, making it an exceptional parking choice not only for standard compact cars and sedans, but also for full-size pickup trucks (like Ford F-150s and Ram 1500s), full-size SUVs, high-profile conversion vans, and commercial service vehicles equipped with roof racks. The open layout provides broad turning radii and standard surface stall dimensions, offering stress-free maneuvering compared to tight multi-level parking decks.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When heading to Busch Stadium for a Cardinals home game or a major downtown event, plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes before first pitch or showtime to secure convenient lane positioning and avoid curb congestion along South Broadway. Make note of dynamic event pricing, which applies during major game days and special performances. Pre-registering your license plate and payment method through the Metropolis platform ensures quick, touch-free entry and drive-away exit. When departing after sell-out events, following directional traffic south onto Broadway offers rapid routing directly to highway on-ramps.
