Parking for FIFA Fan Festival<\/h2>

Driving? There are plenty of places to park your vehicle around the East Downtown festival area with more than 90,000 public parking spaces located within a 3-mile radius of the festival.<\/p>

You could park and take the “Via Futbol” route. Follow Rusk Street from the Discovery Green area straight to the festival\u2019s North Entrance on Walker Street. It’s about a 12-minute walk with ADA-accessible path equipped with shade structures, clear wayfinding signage, and enhanced safety measures.<\/p>

When the Houston Astros do not have a home game at Minute Maid Park, fans can park in Lot C and walk directly toward Rusk Street.<\/p>

More than 10 privately operated public parking lots sit along the festival boundary.<\/p>

There will be a dedicated parking lot for rideshare pick-up and drop-off at 2011 Leeland Street near the corner of Leeland Street and St. Emanuel Street.<\/p>

Taking the rail is highly recommended as one of the most convenient, budget-friendly ways to beat the traffic from Downtown and surrounding neighborhoods.<\/p>

Take either the Green Line or the Purple Line and exit at the EaDo\/Stadium Station next to Shell Energy Stadium.<\/p>
