If you’re considering public transport, compare the bus and rail connections with this guide to Miami Beach public transport. A Brightline HOME RUNNER train ticket includes complimentary round-trip shuttle service between MiamiCentral Station and loanDepot park.

If you’re driving to the ballpark, it has four parking garages on its north and south sides and six surface lots on its east and west sides.

What should you know about loanDepot park parking?

What should you know about loanDepot park parking?

On-site parking uses a free-flow system: enter an available facility and your license plate serves as your parking credential, rather than scanning a parking pass at the entrance. Parking can be purchased online for most games, but spaces are subject to availability. Traffic conditions may also determine which facility drivers are directed to.

Accessible parking is available for guests with disability plates or tags on a first-come, first-served basis. Accessible spaces can be purchased at all parking facilities.

If you’re cycling, racks are on the first floor of the Third Base and Home Plate garages. Citi Bike pickup and parking are on the ground level of the Third Base Garage; bring your own lock.

Choose an arrival method before setting out, particularly if you plan to park or use a shuttle. Check the official site before you go for current parking availability and event-day details.

When do gates open, and what are the entry rules?

General-public gates generally open 90 minutes before first pitch, while gates for premium areas open two hours before first pitch. Marlins Members receive early admission through East Plaza Gate 11 two and a half hours before first pitch for Friday and Saturday home games.

Guests and their belongings are inspected before entry, so the Marlins encourage arriving at least 90 minutes before first pitch to avoid lines.

The four main general-public entrances are the First Base and Home Plate entrances at West Plaza, and the Third Base and Center Field entrances at East Plaza. Check which entrance suits your seating area before approaching the stadium.

Clear bags must be made of plastic, vinyl or PVC and measure no larger than 16 by 16 by 8 inches. Exceptions include small clutches no larger than 6 by 8 inches, as well as bags for medical or infant purposes.

Guests cannot leave the ballpark and return on the same ticket, except in an emergency or to visit the New Era Team Store after first consulting a Guest Experience Team Member.

For buses or rail, check your planned connection before leaving the stadium so you know which service and stop you need.
