Progressive Field Parking

2401 Ontario Street, Cleveland, Ohio 44115

NOTICE: Traffic in Cleveland by the Progressive Field can get busier at times of the major events. We typically recommend allowing extra time to arrive, park and walk to the venues entrance.

Progressive Field, home of the Cleveland Guardians, lacks dedicated public on-site parking lots operated by the stadium itself. Fans rely on nearby garages, lots, and street options, with game-day demand driving higher prices and potential restrictions. Planning ahead is essential due to traffic on surrounding highways like I-90, I-71, and I-77.

Official Reserved Parking (Great Day Improvements Garage)

The primary reserved option is the Great Day Improvements Garage at 650 E Huron Rd. Fans who purchase parking passes through cleguardians.com or Fan Services receive mobile-only passes via the MLB Ballpark app. Entry is permitted as early as 3 hours before first pitch; vehicles arriving earlier may be turned away. Parking is available until 7 hours after the start of the event. An attendant directs traffic, and license plate recognition technology (via Metropolis) handles billing for some users. Premium P-Lot passes direct entrants via Bolivar Road for reserved spots. ADA spaces are available first-come, first-served. Event pricing varies and populates automatically.

Nearby Garages and Lots

Several private and city-managed facilities sit within a short walk. The Gateway East Garage (closely associated with official options) offers convenient access. Tower City Garage is popular for its roughly 8–10 minute walk and rates often starting around $6–$20 on non-event days. Other spots include the Arena Lot (about 4 minutes away), 1030 Sumner Ave. Lot (as close as 3 minutes, from $5 in some listings), and various surface lots near the Fire Museum or Carnegie Avenue. Apps like SpotHero, ParkMobile, and ParkWhiz enable advance reservations, which can secure spots from $5–$50+ depending on the event – prices frequently surge to $30–$80 near the stadium on high-demand days like home openers. Many lots offer 24/7 access for overnight stays.

Street Parking Options

Metered street parking exists in the Gateway District and surrounding areas but is limited, especially on game days. Special event zones apply higher rates (e.g., $8 per hour in some districts, with caps often waived), and certain streets (such as portions of E. 9th and E. 4th) may have no-parking restrictions or tow-away enforcement starting hours before games. Use the ParkMobile or ParkNYC app to pay; always read posted signs carefully, as time limits and event rules are strictly enforced. Street spots are generally not recommended for longer visits due to availability and restrictions.

General Parking Tips

Reserve in advance through team-affiliated platforms or apps to guarantee a spot and often save money. Arrive early to navigate traffic and construction. Consider combining parking with rideshares, public transit, or walking from farther lots for easier post-game exits. Watch for varying event pricing, oversize vehicle rules, and downtown construction updates via ODOT.
