Getting in

Checked at the source
  • Bag policy: The Blue Jays ask fans not to bring bags. Soft-sided bags such as diaper bags, medical bags and small purses up to 16 x 16 x 8 inches are allowed. Backpacks, hard-sided coolers and containers are not, and there is no bag storage.
  • Cashless: Not fully cashless, but cards are encouraged. An ATM is on the main concourse behind home plate.

After the final whistle

From a specialist guide
There is no big team lot to empty, so traffic clears faster than at most spring parks. Fans walk back to downtown or to the neighborhood lots, and rideshare cars wait on Beltrees Street. Stopping at a downtown bar for an hour beats the drive back over the causeway at rush hour.

One thing to avoid

From a specialist guide
Looking for team parking. No parking is sold at TD Ballpark. Park in the downtown Dunedin garage and walk about half a mile, or pay a local business, church or community center that sells spaces from 9 a.m.

  • Left field air-conditioned bar. An indoor, air-conditioned bar in left field is the place to cool off for an inning.
  • Lower concourse under the stands. A large open space under the stands has shade, games and picnic tables. The stairways from the lower concourse to the seats catch a cool breeze on hot days.
  • Most of the seating bowl. Expect full sun in most seats. Use the free sunscreen stations under the stadium.
