Useful things to know

Can I ride the downtown streetcar to Arrowhead?

Plan a separate stadium journey. The stadium lists RideKC route 47 as a bus option, but check its actual game-date timetable and last return before using it.

Where should my rideshare pick me up?

The Missouri Welcome Center on Blue Ridge Cutoff between Gates 1 and 2. Follow the stadium’s marked paved path back there after the game.
