Football or Baseball? The Tide Light Rail Has Both Fields Covered on Saturday – Hampton Roads Transit

Football or Baseball? The Tide Light Rail Has Both Fields Covered on Saturday

NORFOLK, Va. – Larger-than-usual crowds are expected on Saturday, Sept. 6, when both the Norfolk State University Spartans football team and the Norfolk Tides baseball team begin play minutes apart.

Hampton Roads Transit (HRT), in partnership with the City of Norfolk and both Norfolk State and the Tides, will provide free rides on The Tide light rail in support of both games to reduce traffic congestion.

The Spartans kick off at 6 p.m. while the Tides start at 6:35 p.m. With limited parking around Dick Price Stadium at NSU and Harbor Park for the Tides, fans for both games are urged to consider several transit options:

Free rides on the Tide run two hours before each game, with trains running every 15 minutes. Trains will operate on 10-minute intervals after the games until midnight.

Rider capacity will be limited on some trains and at some stations to allow fans an opportunity to board further down the line.

Some tips to make the most of gameday:
