Getting to the game

• The Broad Street Line connects Center City with the stadium complex.
• Regional rail links the airport with central stations.

Parking and game-day arrival

• The South Philadelphia complex has official event parking, but prepaid availability and lot assignments vary by event.
• Offsite parking should have clearly posted event hours; the Broad Street Line is the strongest alternative to driving.

Parking inventory, prices, entry gates, tailgating policies, and rideshare zones can change by event. Confirm current details through the venue or event organizer before traveling.

Game-day planning

• A Center City stay usually works better than an isolated stadium-area stay for a full weekend.
• Allow time for security and tailgate traffic.
