METRO light rail to serve Arizona Diamondbacks fans

METRO to serve Arizona Diamondbacks fans

Free parking at METRO park-and-rides

PHOENIX — If you take METRO light rail to an Arizona Diamondbacks game, METRO will provide a return trip, even in the event of extra innings.  METRO encourages the use of light rail and its free park-and-rides to attend Arizona Diamondbacks home games. 

In working with the venue, METRO will understand game attendance and progression to have return service planned appropriately. 

Upon a game’s dismissal, trains will be queued to take passengers east or westbound from the 3rd Street stations.  Third Street/Washington is the westbound platform; 3rd Street/Jefferson is the eastbound platform.  Attendees are urged to arrive at the station immediately following the game’s close.

METRO staff will be present for the first week and a half of the Diamondbacks season to assist passengers with safe and seamless return trips.

Passengers are encouraged to purchase an all-day pass when they first board or use existing fare media (i.e. a 3-day, 7-day, 31-day pass or Platinum Pass) to save time.  An all-day pass or more eliminates the need to wait in line to buy another single ride pass when leaving the event. 

Note:  METRO’s regular service hours across the 20-mile line are not being extended with this news release.  METRO is supporting the games and game patrons with extra service as is required.
