April showers us not just with rain, but also with the thrills of the gridiron, the rink, the pitch and the diamond as our favorite teams start their seasons. It’s time to gear up and show our support – and getting to the games has never been easier.

No matter if it’s baseball, hockey, football, or soccer, we’ve got you covered. Metro Transit is here to ensure you’re cheering in the crowd – and not dealing with parking and traffic troubles.

Transit Tips That Score

Here’s how you can bypass the traffic blues and head straight to the stadium:

• Download the Transit App: Plan your trip and get real-time arrivals directly on your phone.
• Avoid the Lines: A round-trip MetroLink ticket to downtown is only $5. Purchase a mobile ticket on Transit app and avoid the lines at the ticket machines.
• Park-Ride Perks: Choose any one of 20 free Park-Ride lots at stations in Missouri and Illinois, park your car, and board the train for a straight shot downtown where the action awaits.
• Smart Scheduling: Stay ahead of the game by checking your transit schedules before you leave.

Riding transit to the games isn’t just smart – it’s a transportation strategy that lets you avoid the gridlock, say goodbye to pricey parking, and skip the post-game traffic frenzy.
