Parking at Marvel

[Jay-Z]

My family has moved seats this year and we are now on the Esplanade side of Marvel (entering Gate 8). For years we have parked in Crombie Lane (off Lonsdale st) as it was only $10 and you get out reasonably easily. However, it's now too far to walk across the bridge and all the way around to the other side of the stadium with the kids so I need recommendations on where to park for a reasonable price closer to Gate 8. Help please

I just cop the $25-30 to be financially pillaged by the stadium each match.

If it helps this method also allows you to exit the stadium into a series of 'no right turns' that eventually require you to perform a series of illegal turns to get out of the CBD.

I always park in Johnson Street, Port Melbourne. Free parking and a 15 minute stroll to the ground.

He did. But no one cared.

See, once again that comes through like it's Michael Scott saying it.

What's more that's exactly what he'd say.

Well played.

Park at the DFO car park at Docklands

They have fixed up the car exits and it seems easier to exit

$10

We park in a street close to Errol Street and then walk. 15 minutes stroll and I'm not an ultra marathoner

Where else should you park than in North Melbourne?

We used to park at Crown, go have a bite to eat and a beer before the match, which gives you enough points or whatever for free parking, then an easy 10 minute walk to Marvel

We’re very fortunate to have our work carpark near enough to Marvel and during the five to ten minute walk to the stadium we always see footy supporters parking in regular parks on the street on Little Collins and the laneways off it.

I hestitate to mention them in case they get even busier, but there are two reasonably priced carparks in Mayfield Place off Aurora Lane - couple of minutes walk to the ground even if gate 8 is a bit further from that end.

If you're relatively early, there's a mini carpark behind Festival Hall which doesn't seem to fill up until about half an hour before the first bounce. Free parking and about a 10-15 minute walk to the stadium.

(If it's full tomorrow I'm going to regret this massively.)

I once got stuck there for 90minutes because the boom gates stopped working...

Before the Brisbane game, took an extra 15 min to actually get in due to the "security" dudes checking every car boot after copping the $30, but before allowing entry. Then after the game took the lift and got off at b3 instead of b2 or some such, and was then accosted by "security" who refused to let me by before a pat down and wand over, and i hardly look a like a terrorist, in fact i reckon said "security" dudes looked more lke one than me.

Yep. I gave my tip and am now sweating on the thought of it being packed out when I get there.

Deserves a bump on such a day

The biggest dilemma today is the tin rattlers at traffic lights for RCH

There is that awkwardness of donating at first light and then not at next etc

Don't drive, drink!

All my coins go straight to the cars drink holder. I'll give a handful at each light.

There's a little car park about 2 blocks away from the Nixon, down Batman's Hill Dve. Haven't been there this year but it's about $12. It's not the big complex near the Nixon.

Have one for me down there.

In fact have a few.

I drive to the suburb of the team we are playing against and park there, then walk to the ground with North colors on.
Im walking as we speak from the Tulla. Was quite a hike last week!
