Prices, Garages, and the Cheapest Options
Rose Quarter has 4 garages and 2 surface lots totaling 2,500+ spaces. Official garage pricing runs $20–$35, but you can cut that to $5–$8 at the U-Store lot—or skip parking entirely with a $5.60 TriMet day pass on MAX Light Rail.

Three legit ways to pay less — or nothing — before you even consider MAX transit.
N Benton Ave & N Dixon St — 0.3 miles from arena
Cheapest paid parking within walking distance. Surface lot, uncovered. No advance reservations — first-come, first-served. Popular with regulars who know about it.
777 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd — 800 spaces
Completely avoids Rose Quarter congestion and the Broadway/Weidler bottleneck. Credit/debit at drive-through booths; cash accepted at south Ginkoberry entrance kiosk. P1 level: 7 ft clearance. P2 level: 9 ft clearance. 4 EV stations on-site. Opens daily at 6 AM. No RVs, campers, or trucks with trailers.
NE 7th Ave & Multnomah St — five blocks east
Over 1,700 spaces operated by Rose Quarter for Trail Blazers home games only. Not available for concerts, Winterhawks, or Portland Fire games. MAX trains run every 5 minutes on game days from nearby stops.
The Rose Quarter Transit Center is at the arena's doorstep. A $5.60 day pass covers unlimited rides all day.
| Park & Ride | Line | Ride Time | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunset Transit Center | Blue / Red | ~25 min | Beaverton, Hillsboro, west side — 630-stall garage |
| Hollywood Transit Center | Red / Blue | ~10 min | NE Portland, inner east side — free lot |
| Gateway Transit Center | Blue / Green / Red | ~15 min | I-205 corridor, east Portland, Gresham — free lot |
| Clackamas Town Center | Green | ~30 min | Clackamas, Milwaukie, south suburbs — free 24-hr lot |
A family of four (2 adults + 2 youth) pays a maximum of $16.80 total for all-day transit — $5.60 + $5.60 + $2.80 + $2.80. That same family pays $25–$35 for one parking spot, plus fuel, plus 15–30 minutes in a garage exit queue. Transit wins on both cost and time.

Bottom line for Fire games: Treat them like a Blazers game — arrive early, pre-book parking if you need a garage, or take MAX. The inaugural season demand is real.
Different events have different parking dynamics. Here's what actually matters for each.
Lyft is the official rideshare partner of Moda Center. Pickup and drop-off is along NE Multnomah St and NE Wheeler Ave, outside the east entry. New Lyft users: code MODACE for 50% off first two rides (up to $10/ride).
A round-trip Lyft from inner SE Portland runs roughly $20–$30 total. For solo attendees, rideshare and official parking cost about the same. For groups of 3–4, parking wins on per-person cost. For solo attendees going to 2+ events per month, MAX transit wins.
Post-event surges on sold-out nights run 1.5–3× for about 20–30 minutes after the event ends.
62 total ADA spaces across all five parking areas

Real answers to the most common Moda Center parking questions.
Approximately two hours before event start time. For a 7 PM Blazers tipoff, expect garages to open around 5 PM.
Pre-paid parking is available through JustPark, Ticketmaster (Blazers), ParkWhiz, SpotHero, and Vivid Seats, and the Rose Quarter Box Office. At the garages themselves, some have shifted toward card-only — confirm with the Box Office if cash is a requirement. The Oregon Convention Center garage is credit/debit at drive-through booths but accepts cash at the south Ginkoberry entrance kiosk.
Significantly less than before. The Lloyd Event District expanded in late 2025, extending $5/hour event pricing north of NE Broadway into the Eliot neighborhood. During non-event times, Lloyd District on-street meters are $1.80/hour Monday–Saturday and free on Sundays. Some residential streets east of MLK beyond the event district boundary may still be unrestricted, but check signage carefully — PBOT is actively expanding paid zones. Always remove valuables from your vehicle.
Expect 10–20 minutes from most garages after a sellout. Garden Garage is consistently the slowest exit — single exit onto Ramsay Way means all traffic funnels to one point. West Broadway Garage offers the fastest departure via Interstate Ave to I-5. Walking two blocks before requesting a rideshare is often faster than waiting in the garage exit queue.
Yes. 28 stations across four garages, all complimentary with paid parking courtesy of Pacific Office Automation. Spots cannot be reserved — first-come, first-served. East Broadway Garage has the best odds with 11 stations across 533 spaces (1 per 48 spaces).
Not confirmed as of early 2026. The off-site lots at NE 7th Avenue and Multnomah Street are confirmed only for Trail Blazers home games. Whether they'll be available for Portland Fire WNBA games has not been announced. Plan on official Rose Quarter garages or MAX transit for Fire games.
The U-Store Rose Quarter Lot at N Benton Ave and N Dixon St charges $5–$8 per event — the cheapest paid parking within walking distance (0.3 miles / 5-minute walk). If you're willing to take MAX, a $5.60 day pass covers the entire day and drops you right at the arena.
