Free Light Rail, Ferry Service Can Take You to the Ballpark This Season
Once again, this season, Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) is partnering with the City of Norfolk and the Norfolk Tides baseball team to provide free transit to and from home games.
With limited parking continuing due to casino construction, HRT encourages fans to take The Tide light rail and Elizabeth River Ferry to get to Harbor Park stadium starting with the season opener on Friday, March 27 at 6:35 PM.
Free rides on The Tide light rail are available two hours before and after each game. Fans can show their ticket for that day’s game for a free ride on light rail to and from the stadium.
Fans are encouraged to park for free at three park-and-ride lots at Tide stations: Newtown Road Station (Newtown Road and Kempsville Road), Military Highway Station (Curlew Drive and Corporate Boulevard), and Ballentine/Broad Creek Station (Ballentine Boulevard and I-264).
Fans can also take the ferry from North Landing in Portsmouth for free to and from the Harbor Park Landing for every game. Free rides are available only to the Harbor Park Landing, not to Waterside Landing.
Ferry service runs every 30 minutes beginning one hour before game time until 30 minutes after the game or fireworks end. Parking for the ferry in Portsmouth is free at city garages after 5 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. The closest parking to North Landing may be found at the Harbor Court, Water Street, and Middle Street parking garages.
In Norfolk, MacArthur South Garage will be free for game patrons. The garage is just two light rail stops, or a roughly 15-minute walk, from Harbor Park. Fans parking at the garage can catch The Tide at MacArthur Station for the free light rail ride to the stadium.
When leaving Harbor Park, fans using light rail are urged to be patient and observe lines that will be set up outside the stadium near the main entrance. One line will be for eastbound Tide light rail traffic in the direction of Newtown Road with the other for westbound travel toward EVMC/Fort Norfolk Station.
HRT reminds fans to be safe around tracks. Use designated crosswalks and sidewalks to reach the station.
