Parking at M&T Bank Stadium

Free street

The Hamburg Street stop is right beside the stadium /// MTA service hours

Baltimore's Light RailLink runs a Hamburg Street stop directly beside M&T Bank Stadium, with the Camden Yards stop a few minutes north as a backup. Park at a suburban station where parking is free or cheap, ride in, and you have skipped both the permit problem and the traffic. In a city where the stadium lots are effectively closed to you, this is not the budget fallback, it is the main answer.

Heads up: It gets crowded right after the game, which is the tradeoff. Check the schedule against a night kickoff, and confirm service on the MTA site, since construction affects the line periodically.

Offsite lot

Drops at the stadium /// Game day, book ahead

Multiple charter operators run seasonal and single-game service from White Marsh, Carney, Southwest Baltimore, the Westminster Target, and Owings Mills. At $35 to $40 it undercuts every downtown garage and the casino, and somebody else deals with the traffic.

Heads up: These are separate charter operators rather than one stadium service, so confirm your pickup point and the return departure directly with the operator before game day.

Offsite lot

Close, one of the nearest garages /// Casino hours

This is the option most Baltimore parking advice still points at, so here is the current reality. It used to be free to park here, and fans did it for years. The casino changed that: free parking is now limited to higher-tier loyalty members, and everyone else pays.

Heads up: Two things. Tailgating is explicitly prohibited in the Horseshoe garage, per the Ravens, so this is a park-and-walk option only. And the rate quoted on the casino's own site has run lower than what resale apps charge for the same garage, so check the source before you book.

Offsite lot

Varies, the Inner Harbor is a walk of roughly 15 to 20 min /// Standard garage hours

The stadium sits at the south end of the Camden Yards complex, a short walk from the Inner Harbor and Federal Hill, so the whole downtown garage supply is in play. Fans without permits are pointed to ParkMobile and similar apps by the Ravens themselves.

Heads up: Fans who need to head north on I-83 afterward deliberately park farther out, toward the Inner Harbor, rather than closest to the stadium, because getting out of the nearest garages is the slow part. Pick your garage based on the direction you are leaving, not just the walk in.

Community lot

Short, these sit around the stadium complex /// Varies by operator, generally several hours before kickoff

A handful of privately run lots sit around the complex, and they are where non-permit tailgaters end up, because the Ravens lots are permit-only and the casino garage bans tailgating. Fans specifically hunt for private lots that allow charcoal grilling, which the stadium lots restrict.

Heads up: We are deliberately not naming specific operators here. One lot that fans used for years reported selling off part of its land and has not confirmed spots for the 2026-27 season, and season ticket holders posted that they could not get an answer. These operations change hands and disappear, so search the subreddit for this season's confirmed spots rather than trusting last year's name, including ours.

Stadium lot

At the stadium, Lot R is under the Russell Street bridge /// 4.5 hours before kickoff

This is the one category where you do not need a season permit. Accessible spaces are first come, first served in Lots B, C and R, and no advance permits are issued at all. You need a valid state-issued disabled placard or license plate, and the registered owner has to be in the vehicle.

Heads up: The Ravens themselves say these spaces fill up quickly, and since there is no way to reserve one, early arrival is the only strategy available. Treat the 4.5 hour opening as your target, not a window.
