Question

Where is the best place to park near a stadium for a concert or game?

The best place to park near a stadium is at an offsite lot a few blocks away. They are usually cheaper and, more importantly, will help you avoid post game or event traffic chaos.

If you’re planning to watch your home team’s match or see your favorite artist perform live, the last thing you want is to shell out big bucks for parking. Game and/or concert tickets are pricey enough!

Stadium parking is convenient, but it’s not cheap, and these lots tend to sell out pretty quickly, especially for popular events.

According to the latest numbers, onsite stadium parking can cost between $20 and $50, depending on the venue and event. Add to that the chaos of thousands of cars trying to exit at the same time, and you’ve got yourself an unnecessarily frustrating parking situation when all you want is to enjoy yourself. You could easily end up spending 30-45 minutes just trying to get out of the lot.

Offsite parking lots located a few blocks away from the stadium offer much lower prices. They generally cost between $10 and $25, are less crowded, and are located in areas that allow you to leave quickly, while everyone else is still waiting to exit the stadium lots.

The best way to make sure you have a spot at an offsite lot is to book online before you head to the event. Sites like Way.com let you compare prices and reserve your parking spot in advance. This way, you won’t have to drive around looking for parking on game day, and you’ll know exactly how much you’re paying.
