Parking right at M&T Bank Stadium is usually reserved for permit holders, and official stadium lots open about 4½ hours before kickoff, so getting there early helps a lot if you already have a pass. If you don’t have a permit for the stadium lots, fans often book downtown garage spots or surface lots with apps like SpotHero or ParkWhiz, which are usually cheaper and don’t sell out as fast. Another popular choice is private driveway or garage rentals near the stadium — many people use services that let you reserve these ahead of time, and they cut down on traffic stress. Public garages like the Horseshoe Casino garage are also near the stadium, though they fill up quick on big game days. Tailgating is welcome in certain areas, so checking the official parking page for regular-season rules helps you plan that fun pre-game. Whatever option you take, plan extra time because streets around the stadium can get backed up long before kickoff. Fans also say that the Light Rail and Ravens Ride bus passes are good ways to skip parking hassles entirely.
