Free Parking for Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens at Paycor Stadium (Cincinnati 12/14)

figured i'd share some parking advice for the bengals game against the ravens since it can be a total nightmare down there. if you want to try and get free parking, your best bet is to find a spot in over-the-rhine (otr) and take the free streetcar. park in one of the 3CDC garages, grab some food up there, and then just hop on the streetcar which drops you off at the banks, just a short walk from the stadium. it's a solid way to avoid all the game day traffic craziness right by paycor.

honestly if you want to get way closer without the insane prices, there’s an app called Prked. people rent out their private driveways and garages right next to Paycor Stadium. it's usually way cheaper than the official lots and you get to skip the traffic chaos when leaving cause you're not fighting to get out of a massive garage with everyone else. just a short walk to the gate.

if you dont mind a little walk, the most popular advice is to park across the river in kentucky. find a cheap lot or garage in covington or newport. the walk across the roebling bridge is pretty cool and drops you right near the stadium. a lot of people do this. there's also the southbank shuttle that's only like $2 and takes you right across the river.

the official stadium lots are mostly for season pass holders and can be really expensive if you can even find a spot for a single game. you can check ticketmaster but expect to pay a lot. other garages downtown near the stadium or at the banks will be open but they fill up fast and getting out is a mess.

quick heads up on traffic, they start closing streets around the stadium like 3-4 hours before kickoff. after the game it gets even worse. a big thing to know is how they handle traffic on mehring way afterwards. if you park west of central avenue, you HAVE to go west. if you're parked east of it, you're forced to go east. knowing that can save you a huge headache. seriously, get there early, like when the lots open 4 hours before the game, to avoid the worst of it.

hope this helps and who dey
