Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
Buy a parking pass from scalpers on Camelback and Indian School Road on the way to the stadium. It's a common thing - just negotiate.
Valley Metro light rail avoids all game-day traffic for just $2 each way.
Westgate parking at $15 is the best value with the bonus of air-conditioned pregame options.
Handicap parking is available in all zones with a valid placard.
Post-game traffic is heavy on Glendale Avenue and Loop 101. Plan to stay 30-45 minutes or take light rail.
The desert sun beats down on exposed lots. Bring a canopy, sunscreen, and extra water if tailgating.
Pre-purchase parking through the Cardinals app or Ticketmaster to guarantee a spot.
