Allianz Field is one of the most accessible stadiums in North America, with the METRO Green Line's Snelling Avenue station located directly outside the gates. This direct rail access makes the limited and pre-booked parking lots easy to skip. Stay in downtown Saint Paul for a simple train ride to the match or in the Hamline-Midway neighborhood to be within walking distance.
