ST PETERSBURG, Pa. — When it comes to parking in St. Petersburg, finding a spot might not be the easiest of tasks. But now it might become a bit easier with parking lots at Tropicana Field becoming available to the public.
The city says about 3,800 parking spots will be open on non-game days. An earlier tweet by Mayor Ken Welch indicated thousands of more spots but on Thursday, the city provided a revised figure.
The spaces are in lots 4, 5, 6, 7 and 11.
Welch called the availability of the parking spaces a "big win" for the city's transportation team.
Starting now, the Tampa Bay Rays parking lots are open to the public during non-game or event times. Spots can be paid for through the ParkMobile app.
Prices to park at the Trop range from $15-$30.
Welch calls this newest addition to the city "strategic thinking and good partnership."
