Additionally, there is a drop-off area in front of Gate 4, which is directly across from lot 1 on 16th Street.
Commercial and city-owned parking is also available at various price points surrounding Tropicana Field. These lots are not operated by the Rays and thus do not offer free parking.

For select games, the trolley operates from 90 minutes before game time, throughout the game, until one hour after the game is over. The FREE baseball shuttle picks up passengers on Second Street mid-block between Central Avenue and First Avenue S. (under the Bank of America Tower's pedestrian bridge) and drops passengers off on First Avenue S. near 16th Street. The city-owned garage accessible on First Avenue S., just east of Second Street, is the designated shuttle parking facility and will cost $5. Other parking is available in the immediate downtown area. A dedicated van will be available for guests with special needs.
