Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
Park at the casino for free and Lime scooter to the stadium. Or park in Covington/Newport in Kentucky and walk across the bridges - way easier to get on I-75 quickly after the game.
Mehring Way along the riverfront becomes congested on game days, approach from downtown streets instead.
The Banks garages fill up fast. Book in advance via SpotHero or ParkWhiz.
If you're staying downtown, walk to the stadium, most hotels are 10-20 minutes on foot.
Handicap parking is available in all official lots with a valid placard.
The Roebling Bridge walk from Covington is a fan-favorite pregame tradition, free parking plus a scenic walk.
Pre-purchase official lot passes through the Bengals app or Ticketmaster to guarantee a spot.

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.
