The lot at the Central St. el station (costs just a few dollars via the passport app) 2000 feet north of the stadium is worth a try. If healthy, even with the walk your time commitment is the about same as the stadium lot — you don't get stuck in traffic before/after the game. If your health precludes that walk, call Northwestern: I'm sure they'll help you get a pass in the lot across the street. With one or two exceptions, passes are probably still publicly available.

You can normally find parking on streets just south of Ryan Field. I marked up something from Apple Maps. The red is RF and the yellow are streets you can park on for free. Just make sure to read the signs.

I don’t think that is the case anymore. I could be mistaken, but I think Evanston has basically eliminated all of this street parking on event days.

I thought that was only on the Wilmette side? I parked where I highlighted several times last year.

I could not park there for some of the early season basketball games. Everything is pretty much signed off west of the river. I ended up parking by the golf course on Lincoln east of the bridge.

Hi all.
We’re going to Valpo game Tuesday night.
Our Nephew is on their staff.
Is there still easy pay to park?

I guess both Gata and Skunk were sort of correct:

Day-Of-Game Parking
  • Day-of-game parking will also be available at both of our parking locations, the West Lot and the Central Street Garage, for non-conference games only. These spots can be purchased in-person and are subject to gameday pricing.
  • For conference matchups, day-of-game parking will only be available in the Central Street Garage.
