    Recommendations

    • The best way to get cost-effective parking is to see if you can get a parking pass with your ticket, especially if you purchased your tickets online. Many online ticket sites, such as TicketMaster and StubHub, have the option to purchase parking passes. If you were not able to purchase a ticket and parking pass combination, simply get to stadium early enough to drive around a few blocks and choose the cheapest parking area. There are numerous parking garages if you prefer to park inside, or parking lots if you do not mind parking outside.
