Portland State Vikings host Montana at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, in Providence Park matchup
America’s favorite sport is coming to Providence Park, as Portland State University hosts Montana for its homecoming football game Saturday, Nov. 15.
You can see the Vikings play at Providence Park — the Portland Thorns and Timbers’ iconic home stadium — by taking TriMet. If you have a digital ticket to the game, present it as your proof of fare on TriMet and the Portland Streetcar for up to three hours before and after game time!
This special deal continues our successful partnership with Providence Park. Since the 2024 season, this partnership has enabled fans to ride TriMet to and from Thorns and Timbers home games for free, using their ticket as fare. We expanded the partnership this year to include other special events at Providence Park, such as June’s Post Malone with Jelly Roll concert and this Saturday’s PSU homecoming game.
PSU students are eligible to receive a free ticket to the homecoming game. This ticket is valid on game day to ride TriMet and the Portland Streetcar as well!
The game kicks off at 2 p.m. Saturday. Plan your trip now at trimet.org!
Easy to ride
Providence Park is located just feet from the Providence Park MAX Station. MAX Blue and Red line trains serve this station, with a train arriving in each direction about every 7½ minutes. Additionally, the Goose Hollow MAX Station is just three blocks away.
The stadium is also served by several bus lines, including:
- Line 6-Martin Luther King Jr Blvd (at Goose Hollow)
- Line 15-Belmont/NW 23rd
- Line 20-Burnside/Stark
- Line 24-Fremont/NW 18th
- Line 58-Canyon Rd (at Goose Hollow)
Line 6, Line 15 and Line 20 are part of TriMet’s Frequent Service network, with buses arriving every 15 minutes or better for most of the day.
You can also transfer to a MAX Blue or Red line train at Pioneer Courthouse Square. Providence Park is just two stops away from Pioneer Square on a westbound train.
Park and go
If you’ve ever tried to drive to a game at Providence Park, you know that legal street parking can be hard to find — and expensive, at $6 an hour during large events (increasing to $7 in 2026).
Skip the hassle and the expense, and park at a TriMet Park & Ride instead. We have hundreds of parking spots that are free to riders, at Park & Ride locations all over the Portland metro area.
TriMet Park & Ride locations include:
- Beaverton Creek Park & Ride, SW 153rd Ave and Millikan Way in Beaverton
- Clackamas Town Center Transit Center, 9225 SE Sunnyside Road in Clackamas
- Elmonica/SW 170th Ave Park & Ride, 1200 SW 170th Ave in Beaverton
- Gateway/NE 99th Ave Transit Center, 9839 NE Multnomah St in Portland
- Gresham Central Transit Center, NE 8th St and Kelly Ave in Gresham
- Millikan Way Park & Ride, SW Millikan Way and 141st Ave in Beaverton
- SE Park Ave Park & Ride, 2735 SE Park Ave in Milwaukie
- SE Tacoma/Johnson Creek Park & Ride, 8300 SE McLoughlin Blvd in Portland
- Sunset Transit Center, 10470 SW Barnes Road in Beaverton (This Park & Ride may fill up early on Providence Park event days.)
- Willow Creek/SW 185th Ave Transit Center, 395 SW 185th Ave in Hillsboro
By leaving your car at a free TriMet Park & Ride, you can save more than $20 on parking fees alone. And when you use your game ticket as proof of fare, you won’t spend a cent on your ride, either.
