St. Pete Standard

Our very own Tampa Bay Rays are heading to the MLB Playoffs- for the 5th year in a row! Attendance is expected to be higher than usual at Tropicana Field, so here are some parking and travel tips for fans:

PARKING

• Plan on taking extra time to attend any of the Rays' home playoff games. Each game is expected to have a very high attendance, so secure parking ahead of time and schedule to arrive early.

• On-site parking may fill up for fans arriving later. You can use downtown overflow parking and ride the free baseball shuttle or walk to the ballpark.

• The garages closest to Tropicana is the South Core Garage located at 101 1st Ave. S., Sundial Garage located at 117 2nd St N, and the Al Lang surface lot at 230 1st St S. You can take the free shuttle from there to the game. More information on the baseball shuttle can be found here: loopertrolley.com/baseballshuttle. 

TRANSPORTATION

• A free shuttle service is available for Postseason games on buses, minibuses, and trolleys. Trolleys are equipped with a wheelchair lift. Shuttles run approximately every 5 minutes starting 2.5 hours before first pitch and until 1 hour after the game ends.  Shuttle pickup/drop-off locations are located just south of Central Ave on 2nd St S downtown and at 4th Av S and 16th St S right across from Tropicana Field. More information on the baseball shuttle can be found here: loopertrolley.com/baseballshuttle.
