Parking Pass For Lots Around M&T Bank Stadium

[ravens88]

Myself and 4 others are going to the Cincinatti game and i have been looking for a parking pass online and can only find ebay with any listings all of which are pretty pricey. i didnt know if someone could offer some insight into other places to look or shop around.

If you plan on tailgateing there are plenty of pay lots around the stadium. J lot is also a paid lot and so are the Closest Parking lots but you need to get there early

I don't how you are defining "pricy", but parking within 1/4 mile of the stadium is typically in the $40-$50 range. Be very careful in when buying over the intenet to not get stuck in bumper to bumper parking in someone's back yard in South Baltimore.

If you want to park in the $20 - $25 range, you would have to forgo tailgating by parking in one of the many parking garages in the Pratt & Lombard corridor, a good 1/2 mile+ from the stadium. Closest downtown parking garage would be in the Convention Center Hilton Hotel, next to the baseball stadium, or at 40 West Street near Federal Hill. Offsetting the loss of tailgating would be the food, drinks, and live entertainment along the "Ravens Walk" between the baseball and football stadiums.

Lightrail...

[ravens88]

yea we usually do the light rail and have done the garaage parking before. I was assuming that the lots for tailgating were issued ahead of time. "Pricy" was 150.00 on ebay for a lot H parking pass. So am i correct in understanding that there are tailgating lots that are first come first serve to tailgate outside the stadium? if so what lots and what time do you suggest getting there? Thanks for the help guys!

J lot is a pay lot and you should most likely get there by 0930 its on Warner st, Closest parking sells daily passes for 40.00 follow the signs they have lot off of Warner and Stolckholm.

Off Russell Street (Baltimore-Washington Parkway), make any of the three right turns (which are accessible by the lane controls) after crossing under the I-95 viaduct. Do not try to make a turn from the middle lane or you'll likely get a big ticket -- there will be enough time & distance to get to the next right turn. After one block, turn left, which is Warner Street. There will be cash lot hustlers waving flags on both sides of the street, and Lot J will be on the right (black wrought iron looking fence). Or pass lot J, turn right on Stockholm, and go right into the large cash lot on the right or the left (after RR tracks). Or go to the traffic signal (Ostend), turn right and look for hustlers on the right side.

I agree with Mod 2 that 9:30 should get the job done, possibly later if it's brutally cold.

Closest parking is the brand name for the company which manages about a dozen cash lots, just past the MSA lots, which are presold on a season pass basis.

yeah I got that. I think it is a very clever name.

Also, I don't know anything about eBay or Stub Hub pricing, but, if you don't want to get there early for cash lots, there are usually many ads for stadium area parking at Baltimore Craiglist, (tickets).
