Saving money, skipping stress
Traffic and parking in the area around Providence Park can be a major headache on game day. Event pricing means parking costs more, and limited availability means soccer fans are often in for a long walk or roll to the stadium.
Fortunately, there’s an easy way around all of that: ride with TriMet!
The MAX Blue and Red lines will drop you off just feet from Providence Park. Several bus lines also have stops at or near the stadium, including:
- Line 6-Martin Luther King Jr Blvd (stops about three blocks away)
- Line 15-Belmont/NW 23rd
- Line 20-Burnside/Stark
- Line 24-Fremont/NW 18th
- Line 58-Canyon Rd (stops about three blocks away)
If you use our LIFT paratransit service, you can also book a trip at lift.trimet.org and present your digital ticket to the game or concert as your ticket to ride.
Getting there from where you are
It’s easy to ride TriMet, even if you don’t live near a bus stop or MAX station.
We have dozens of parking facilities throughout the region, where you can leave your car and hop on board. At every TriMet Park & Ride, parking is free for anyone taking TriMet.
That’s right: If you have a ticket to a game or concert at Providence Park, you can both park and ride TriMet to and from the event at no additional cost!
Some of our most popular Park & Rides, like the Sunset Transit Center, can fill up during the day, especially on game day. Instead, consider one of our other westside Park & Rides also served by the MAX Blue and Red lines, such as:
