Citi Field

Citi Field is easily accessible with both robust public transit and significant parking

Public Transit

• The Subway (7 Train)
  The Mets-Willets Point station serves the stadium. Fans coming from Manhattan can take the 7 Express (purple diamond), which runs on game days and cuts travel time significantly. Connections to the 7 from the E, F, M, or R Trains can be made at the 74 Street-Broadway / Jackson Heights Roosevelt Avenue stop. The N and W trains connect at Queensboro Plaza and the G connects at Court Square
• Commuter Rail
  • Long Island Rail Road (LIRR)
    The Port Washington Branch stops at Mets-Willets Point. From Long Island or southern Queens change trains at Woodside for the Port Washington Branch. From New York City, New Jersey, and Westchester/Connecticut board any Port Washington Branch train at Penn Station or Grand Central Madison
  • Metro-North Railroad
    Change for the 7 Train or LIRR at Grand Central Station
  • NJ Transit
    Take NJ Transit to Penn Station and transfer to LIRR or take any Jamaica-bound LIRR train and transfer to the 7 Train at Woodside
• Bus
  The Q48, Q58, and Q19 all serve the immediate area.
• Ferry
  Seastreak Ferry services Highland, NJ and Staten Island. Ferries leave 2-3 hours before first pitch and depart Citi Field about 45 minutes after the last out. It docks at World's Fair Marina, a 10 minute walk north from Citi Field's Left Field Gate

Driving & Parking

The stadium is in Queens, bordered by the Grand Central Parkway, the Whitestone Expressway, and the Long Island Expressway. There are 5 official lots surrounding the stadium with Lot B (closest to the stadium) reserved for season ticket holders. Fans can pre-purchase parking through the team's website, which is cheaper than buying day of. Additionally there is discounted offsite parking at the Skyview Mall, a 10 minute walk along the south side of the Roosevelt Avenue bridge.

Rideshare

The designated rideshare zone is located just beyond the intersection of Shea Road and Boat Basin Place, northwest of the stadium. Exiting the stadium from the Left Field Gate, as well as the Seaver, Stengel, or Rotunda stairs on the third base side of the stadium provides the fastest walking route to the rideshare zone. Upon exiting one of these locations, walk north along Lot B, past the CitiBike station, cross Shea Road, and then look for the signed rideshare area underneath the highway. Pregame drop offs can still be made along Seaver Way or Roosevelt Ave.

The area immediately surrounding Citi Field is currently in a state of transition. To the west is Corona (famous for Italian ice and diverse street food), and to the east is Flushing (one of the largest Chinatowns in the world).
