Several parking lots and garages surround Yankee Stadium in New York City, allowing fans to drive their own vehicles into the city for games. City Parking manages these garages and lots to keep them functional, safe, and accessible to Yankees fans. Here is what you should know before using a parking garage near the stadium:
Arrive Early
Arrive early to the game to make sure you find an open parking spot. If you are driving into the city, plan your route so you arrive at the stadium an hour or two before the game starts. Parking usually fills up quickly. Getting to the stadium before the majority of fans will help you find an open space and avoid long lines. Even if you have a premium parking pass, you may be directed to park in lots further from the stadium as nearby garages reach capacity. The 164th Street Garage is nearest to the stadium and will likely fill up quickly on a first-come, first-served basis.
Identify Lots and Garages
Driving into NYC with a plan for which parking garage you want to use helps simplify finding an open space. If you know where each available garage or lot is located, you can travel to the next closest one if parking attendants turn you away due to maximum capacity. City Parking’s website allows you to select parking for specific garages and game dates.
Reserve a Space
If you know when you are visiting Yankee Stadium, purchase a parking pass in advance to verify you have a spot. Prepaid parking passes allow you to enter your chosen garage or lot quickly, eliminating the need to visit multiple garages. When purchasing a pass through City Parking, you will receive a confirmation email containing a parking pass with a barcode. Print out this pass and bring it to the garage as proof of reservation.
When selecting a parking garage, remember to clarify the type of vehicle you will be driving into the city. This helps you find the most appropriate garages and lots. If you are driving a bus or van, reserve a space in the Gerard Ave Lot, as it is designed for oversized vehicles. If you are driving a standard passenger vehicle, select the self-park option. This allows you to choose from multiple garages, including the Ruppert Plaza Garage, River Ave Garage, and 161st Street Garage. When you reserve your parking pass, you also receive the address for your chosen garage. Enter the address into your GPS to find the most efficient route to the garage.
Look for a Secure Lot
To protect your vehicle and belongings from damage or theft, look for a parking garage with security features. High-security garages have gated entrances, on-site staff, bright lighting, and security cameras. These features limit access to the garage to paying customers, increasing safety for you and your vehicle. High-security garages also record and report incidents and accidents to help you pursue legal action if necessary.

Our team monitors entrances, keeps driveways and walkways clean, and confirms customers and their vehicles are safe.
