can anyone tell me the difference (if any) between parking lot 3 & 4 as they are the choices i have for booking

is one nearer than the other ?

[Guest]

Not sure on the difference but we parked in Lot 4 last week and it is right next to the stadium

We went today and parked in lot 6. The pre-paid parking in 3 and 4 seemed quite steep. The general parking is paid on entry and the price is determined by the category of the game. That can be found on the website. The general parking on the day was absolutely fine and in lot 6 you are adjacent to the ticket kiosks where the will call kiosk is. I personally couldn't see any advantage with the pre-booked parking unless a sell out and you arrive late. Unlike any sporting event in this country but absolutely brilliant. My 11 year old daughter came out and said she wanted a season ticket. Think that says it all.

We have now booked for the 29th August Sunday 1.40 against the Boston Red Sox, me and the two kids cant wait, but the wife does not seem so keen

Roll on the 7th innings stretch

Finally went to this game last night (despite the last minute re-schedule) and an absolutely amazing experience, real American entertainment for all whether you follow and understand the game or not

Rays won 5-3, loads of free give aways, my kids both loved it all the dancing and fun activities between innings

My daughter got given one of the game balls, which she has not put down since, and we all celebrated wildly when the Rays won with the 10th strikeout of the night in the top of the 9th innings

This meant that everyone gets a free pizza from Pappa Johns on presentation of their ticket stub

Would recomend everyone if you have the slightest interest or want to do something different try to take in a game

Couple of things that may help

Arrive early plenty going on around the parking lots and stadium

Ignore the independant parking around the stadium (ones showing anything from $5 - $20) these are just locals trying to make a quick buck on other businesses property

There is plenty of parking in the genuine parking lots (1-8 I think) we were in 6 behind the stadium

Parking is free if there are 4 or more of you in the car

Lookout for the stadium roof illuminated Orange (from the outside) only when they Rays win, pretty amazing site

Soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the game
