Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
Private lots south of the stadium on Broadway are half the price of the official garages.
The MetroLink to Stadium Station is the easiest option, the stop is steps from the ballpark entrance.
Pre-book the Stadium East Garage online for premium games. It sells out for Cardinals-Cubs rivalry series.
If driving from Illinois, park at a MetroLink station on the east side and ride across.
Post-game traffic on I-64 and I-70 backs up for 20-30 minutes. Stay at Ballpark Village and let it clear.
Coming from I-64 East you need two exits in quick succession, 40B then 39C.
Clark Street closes between the stadium and Ballpark Village, and after events 8th Street from Gratiot to Clark shuts for pedestrians.
The directions page carries a live traffic alert listing current ramp and bridge closures — read it the week of your game, not before.
From I-70 East the exit is 249C, signed for the Convention Center, Broadway and Busch Stadium together.
Most published routes converge on Exit 40A toward Stadium/Tucker Blvd, then a right onto Clark Street.

Parking Rules
What the pass covers, what gets turned away, and the lots that run on their own rules.
Your Pass
- "Busch Stadium Parking" means four specific facilities — Lot A, Lot B, Lot C and the One Cardinal Way Garage. Anything else nearby is someone else's operation on someone else's terms.
- Passes are delivered digitally through the MLB Ballpark app, so have it installed and logged in before you travel.
- Purchases are capped at four passes per game, dropping to two for Opening Day.
- Single-game parking passes cannot be resold.
- The parking terms that bind you are the ones posted when the lots open that day, not the ones you read when you bought.
Getting There
Busch Stadium's directions page carries something almost no other venue publishes: a live road-closure bulletin sitting above the routes, naming which ramps and bridges are shut this week. Seven routes are published, most funnelling to Exit 40A and a right onto Clark Street. Transit is absent, which is notable given the MetroLink station a few blocks away that the Blues' arena page documents in detail.
- Driving
- The stadium is at 700 Clark Street. From the north on I-55 South, continue onto I-64 in Missouri, take Exit 40A toward Stadium/Tucker Blvd and turn right at Clark St — the stadium is one block along on the right. From the south on I-55 North, take Exit 208 onto Park Ave toward 7th St, left at 7th and right at Clark. From the east on I-70 West or I-64 West, join I-64 and use the same Exit 40A. From the west on I-64 East, take Exit 40B for 6th St then Exit 39C toward 11th St/Stadium and turn right at Clark, three blocks along. From I-70 East, take the Convention Center/Broadway/Busch Stadium exit 249C onto N Broadway and turn right at Clark.
- Public Transit
- The stadium's own pages name no transit route and publish no stop — the transportation section covers directions, parking and rideshare only. Plan a MetroLink or MetroBus leg from the operator's map.
- Rideshare
- Uber/Lyft drop-off is on Clark Avenue near the main entrance (Gate 1). Post-game pickup is on Spruce Street south of the stadium. About 15 minutes from the Central West End or Clayton. Surge pricing kicks in after the final out.

Not yet checked against a published source
These figures are estimates. Most venues no longer publish the numbers behind them — concession and ticket pricing moved to dynamic marketplaces — so we hold them as estimates rather than dating them as verified.
- Parking prices — Never checked against a published rate: the venue's parking page, read 2026-09-05, publishes none — the page prices nothing. The 2026-07-26 figures were compiled from third-party listings (was: "Busch Stadium 2026: official garages $25-$60; Stadium West Garage from $30, City Block 426 Lot from $7").
