PGE Park Parking Information

Open in 1926, PGE Park is a versatile stadium located in Portland, Oregon. For the 2011 Major Soccer season, the stadium went through a big renovation. The newly renovated stadium features more space on the east and south sides, with new seating areas and new amenities. Before the 2011 MLS season, the stadium was also renamed Jeld-Wen Field from PGE Park. The "new" stadium will make its debut on April 14, 2011.

Jeld-Wen Field is an outdoor stadium, serving as home to MLS Portland Timbers and Portland State University Vikings football. Seated on a rectangular block in downtown Portland, the stadium borders the northwest and southwest districts of the city between 20th and 18th Avenues on Morrison Street. It is just located off I-405.

Due to its location, driving would be a convenient way to get to the Jeld-Wen Field. For those who choose to drive to the stadium, equip yourself with parking info to make your journey more enjoyable.

Parking is limited at and around the complex. There are seven local parking lots serving the needs of Jeld-Wen Field guests, but many of them are a bit far from the stadium. These seven lots include:

- Lot 1: SW 21st Avenue

- Lot 2: 21st and Morrison

- Lot 3: 21st and Taylor
