The most expensive parking in Major League Baseball (MLB) is found at Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, with an average cost of $85.
Parking at MLB stadiums can vary significantly in price, reflecting factors such as stadium location, demand, and local parking availability. A recent analysis highlights Wrigley Field as having by far the highest parking rates across the league.
Understanding MLB Parking Costs
Parking costs around MLB ballparks are a notable expense for fans attending games. While some stadiums offer more affordable options or convenient public transport, others, like Wrigley Field, present a premium parking experience due to their urban location and historical significance.
Here's a comparison of some of the most expensive parking locations in MLB:
| Ballpark | Team | Average Parking Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Wrigley Field | Chicago Cubs | $85 |
| Citi Field | New York Mets | $40 |
As the table illustrates, Wrigley Field's parking costs are more than double that of the next most expensive ballpark, Citi Field. This significant difference underscores its position as the priciest option for MLB game day parking.
For fans planning to drive to a game, it's always advisable to research parking options in advance. Many stadiums offer official parking lots or garages, while independent lots and garages in surrounding neighborhoods might also be available, albeit sometimes at varying price points.
