Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
Parking is very easy for Royals games and never really a problem. They allow certain water bottles (plastic and see-through) and there are refill stations inside. Check the website for the exact policy.
The tailgating in the lots is legendary. Arrive 3+ hours early with a grill and cooler.
There is no meaningful public transit to the stadium. Driving or rideshare is required.
Parking never sells out for Royals games. No need to pre-book for most games.
Lots D and E have the most active tailgate scene. Regulars set up elaborate BBQ stations.
Post-game traffic on I-70 can be heavy. Wait 15-20 minutes in the lots.
