How is the public transportation to games?

Flying in tonight and looking to avoid the $95 parking for tomorrow's game. Would appreciate any feedback on the below:

It looks like there is a park-and-ride that has a stop right in the parking lot of the game which is super convenient. Has anyone used this? I've never noticed in past games I've attended but I think this would be my preferred option if this is reliable

Other alternatives, I've heard there is a high school nearby but they've started towing

Boujangles has parking for a $10 donation, how early does this fill up? What time would i need to be there by?

I'm going to Beer Garden for lunch/pregaming before I go to tailgate. If anyone would like to join and maybe carpool and split the parking cost?

I've also considered finding a Walmart or chain store with a big parking lot and walking 30 min. I'm young and in good shape, would rather do that to save the $95
