Fans Encouraged to Ride the Tide and Ferry for Free to Banana Ball games
Baseball fans are encouraged to take transit to Banana Ball games this week given limited parking for the sold-out events.
Fans with tickets to see the Firefighters vs. the Party Animals on Thursday, July 24, Friday, July 25, and Saturday, July 26 can ride the Tide light rail and Elizabeth River Ferry for free with service right to Harbor Park.
Courtesy of the City of Norfolk, free rides on the Tide will be available starting at 2 p.m. for each game as well as two hours after each game. Trains will operate about every 10 minutes prior to each game and seven minutes afterward.
Meanwhile, special ferry service, also compliments of the City of Norfolk, will be operating between North Landing in Portsmouth and Harbor Park, just steps from the stadium. This special service runs every 30 minutes starting four hours before each game and until one hour after each game ends.
Fans can show their game ticket for free rides.
Free parking is available at four lots to catch the Tide:
- Newtown Road Station, Newtown Road and Kempsville Road.
- Military Highway Station, Curlew Drive and Corporate Boulevard.
- Ballentine/Broad Creek Station, Ballentine Boulevard and I-264.
- EVMC/Fort Norfolk Station, Brambleton and Colley Avenues. This location is available only for Saturday’s game.
Parking at 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.
When leaving the stadium, 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. Don’t stand on or near the tracks.
HRT will have staff at key light rail stations and at ferry docks to help fans.
