Motorists should be advised that all parking restrictions and neighborhood permit parking regulations will be strictly enforced. Patrons who do not have a parking permit for any of the stadium lots are strongly encouraged to use public transportation. Since the season opener is being held on a weekday afternoon, area garages will be full with monthly permit holders and downtown parking will be limited. With a wide variety of transit options, including the Metro Subway, Light Rail, Park and Ride express bus services and the Charm City Circulator, fans can utilize mass transit from a variety of locations throughout Baltimore.

Baseball fans that choose to drive to the game should use parking facilities north of the stadium and avoid parking in area neighborhoods. Parking Control Agents will enforce all posted parking restrictions and vehicles parked in violation will be ticketed and towed. Patrons with questions concerning the location of their vehicles should call 311.

Motorists should be on the watch for pedestrians headed to the game, especially when approaching crosswalks. Special Traffic Enforcement Officers will assist the Baltimore City Police with the flow of traffic in the downtown area.
