|Bunghole| Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Guys- I need suggestions on the best, cheapest and closest places to park for the game tomorrow. I usually park in Longworth or the adjacent tailgating lots and spend anywhere from $20-30 just for parking. The Mehring way lots, while close, are too expensive for me this time. Anyone have a good suggestion on a safe. cheap lot near PBS that I can park at? I'm bringing my wife to her first Bengals game, and I don't want her to have to walk miles to get into the stadium. Help me, Obi-Wan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 It's a bit of a walk, and I don't know if it is still as cheap as it was, but I always park in the Fountain Square garage when going to a Reds or Bengals game. Used to be $1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumble In the Jungle Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 on the street if you can find one then it's free. but you gotta get there early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorclaws Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 We always park at Chiquita, $5. It's a bit of a walk, but easy access to the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I'd be willing to pay up to $15 for something closer...any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoMmEnT Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Park on Elm St. Lots of garages, around $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumble In the Jungle Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 never park in a garage. you'll be stuck in it after the game for days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Tigers Johnson| Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 $10... fountain square... right in front of Rock Bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalRep85-9 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Park on the ky side in the Mainstrausse lot right off 75, it's free, take the shuttle across for $1.50 and be dropped off 2-3 blocks from the stadium. Been doing this for years. Definitely the cheapest way to go and you don't have to walk far at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't going to be able to stay for the whole game as I have to work early Saturday morning. I don't want to wait forever for a bus if I can help it. And thanks for the suggestions guys!

Also, I have never been stuck in any traffic leaving the lot after the game, not once in 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8675309 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Worse case, if the shuttles aren't running, is just grab a taxi for a quick trip back over the river and you still would have paid less than what you were planning to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongo Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 $5 for the lot at Plum and West 6th. It's an easy walk, the lot has multiple exits, and there's no traffic leaving from any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Dey Forever Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 For free, you can park at a meter..You can usually always find one..the later you get there the more you will be walkng but I don't mind the walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThurmanMunster Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 $15 for the garage behind duke energy center. its like a 5-10 minute walk to stadium and the 75 N and S ramps are right by it. Plus I get out of it quick as hell and never have to sit around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be $1. [/quote] Its up to $10 as is most of the private garages around it- across the street on Walnut and the corner of 6th and Vine. This is where I have always parked. One additional luxury is it is a lot easier to get out of and on your way than any of the stadium lots and garages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 It looks like the cheapest parking is in Newport. The Levee garage is only $5 and I could walk across the (Purple People?) bridge...how long is a truck across that bridge and over to PBS? 10 minutes? 15? Others suggested parking at Hooters and riding the ferry over...how is that? Anyone done it? I saw a couple claims on the internet that it doesn't operate anymore...is that true? Where does the ferry drop you off/pick you up? I know there are $5 lots downtown that may even be closer of a walk than Newport, but I like not having to drive downtown at all. Just hop right across the 471 bridge and away to I-74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turningpoint Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Have really rich parents who belong to a club that offers free parking 3 blocks from the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 If I don't have the boy with me, I park for free and walk a little bit. Either park on the street in Covington or if you get there early, you can check by P & G. The street on the east side of the towers (Sentinel?) usually doesn't fill up until a few minutes before the game starts. Sunday night, I parked by the church near Main and 6th for $5.
