What's parking cost at your park?

DCFan · 12-14-2006, 09:28 PM

The Nats started at $10 in '05, raised it to $12 this past season and just announced that it'll be $15 in '07. This is getting beyond ridiculous. But considering that the cheapest seat is $5, the parking is a little more palatable.

What's it cost at your park?

(Philly has been $10 the past 2 seasons.

Although I'm an Astros fan, I live in the Pittsburgh area. When I go down to PNC, I park in a garage across the Allegheny from the park. The parking garage is on the corner directly across from the Clemente bridge. The bridge is blocked off 3 hours before game time. It's maybe a 5 minute walk from the garage to the ticket office. The cost is $5. When I first moved here 3 years ago, it was $3.

$20 to park at Safeco, I'm pretty sure it's been that way since about 2004, a little more I believe when they won more. Then there are always cheaper lots leading up to the park itself.

I go to roughly 25-30 games a season, but I always park about 5-10 blocks south of the field to save on parking and to beat traffic. Or I take the Amtrak up since I live outside of Portland, which is about two and a half hours from Seattle.

The last time I went to a game (1999) it was $5 for the stadium lots and $15 for the private lots. I'm sure that it has gone up since.

At Miller Park Preferred parking is $10 Dollars and the few back lots and the handycup Parking would be $7 Dollars.

Took the family to Pittsburgh this past summer for the Nats series. PNC Park is an awesome park and the bridge was the coolest thing. Who'd have thought that closing off a bridge for a game and walking there and back on a nice summer night with thousands of other fans would be so special? We'd go back to Pittsburgh in a heartbeat.

In Baltimore, the lot I usually go to is $8. Not exactly right next to the stadium, but I'm willing to walk a couple of blocks.

I've never paid for parking but I think it's around $10. I always take the train and it's $3.50 round trip, and the parking at the train station is free.

And this would be for what park?

But now, I always park in the parking lot of this liquor store thats a few blocks from the park. It's free and I got no problem with walking a few blocks to save a few bucks.

I'm taking the family down to Turner Field over the Easter break for the Nats/Braves series. First time in Atlanta so we're looking forward to our next road trip.

At GABP in Cincy, depending on where I park- right across from the field it
$10.00 but if I walk about 5-6 blocks it $7.00.

I went to a Browns game this year... and paid $5.00 in a gargage, and directly next to the garage was a surface lot that cost $20.00

JoeCoolMan24 · 12-16-2006, 04:32 PM

Its like $30 at USCellular, and $20 for parking a few blocks away. Very expensive in Chicago. The cheapest seats are like $27.

Free parking last season at Tropicana Field. That is supposed to continue this season.
