Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a stress-free experience, consider these professional tips:

Pre-book your spot: During high-demand games, official and nearby lots often reach capacity; booking in advance guarantees your space.
Arrive early: For marquee matchups or playoff games, aim to arrive at least 90 minutes before the first pitch to avoid the worst of the event-day congestion.
GPS Guidance: Use the official stadium address, but follow local signage and traffic officers, as they may implement temporary one-way patterns during post-game egress.
Pricing Awareness: Be prepared for surge pricing during major events; early online reservations typically secure the best rates compared to drive-up \"day-of\" pricing.
