As Houston welcomes thousands of soccer fans for FIFA FanFest and upcoming tournament matches, local residents looking to avoid downtown traffic and expensive event parking have a convenient and budget-friendly alternative.

The East End District is encouraging Houstonians to take advantage of event-day parking at the Harrisburg Parking Garage, located at 4450 Harrisburg Blvd., and connect to METRO rail service for quick access to FIFA FanFest, downtown activities, and Houston Stadium.

The garage offers approximately 230 parking spaces and provides a significant discount for visitors who choose public transit. Fans can park for just $1 when they ride METRO and pay for parking using a mobile device or the designated online payment option.

Officials note that visitors who pay at the garage kiosk will be charged the standard $5 parking fee, making mobile or online payment the best option for securing the discounted rate.

Once parked, riders can walk to Harrisburg Station and board the METRO Green Line. From there, fans can travel directly to FIFA FanFest downtown or connect to the Red Line for service to Houston Stadium on match days.

With large crowds expected throughout the tournament, the East End District says the park-and-ride option offers a stress-free alternative to navigating congested roadways and searching for parking near event venues.
