 Popular Destinations | Sports Venues Popular Destinations: Sports Venues Whatever your game, RTA can take you there Whether it is a regular-season game, or the post-season playoffs, Cleveland Cavaliers basketball fans can rely on RTA to provide easy, affordable and convenient service to Quicken Loans Arena – the “Q”. With another season of high-powered Indians baseball just getting under way, Tribe fans can take advantage of RTA's downtown service to speed them on their way to Progressive Field so that they won't miss a moment of the action. For all downtown sporting and recreation needs, RTA’s Rapid Transit system offers the best seats to fans who want to attend a game without a hassle. Construction on many downtown streets is going to affect nearly everyone who drives to the games, and fans should always allow extra travel time and plan to arrive early. “Considering the high cost of gasoline and parking, I think fans who hop on the train will really hit a home run with their savings,” says Joe Calabrese, RTA General Manager. Park free in the more than 7,000 spaces at RTA rail stations, and take the Red, Blue or Green Rapid Transit lines to the game. RTA's 1,050-foot Walkway protects fans from traffic and the weather. The Walkway begins at the Tower City food court and ends in the Q lobby. It opens at least two hours before each game, and remains open for 90 minutes after the game. Many bus routes also serve Public Square and arena/ballpark area. Go Browns! RTA offers the most convenient way to get to the Stadium all season long. Just ride the Waterfront Line to the West Third Street Station, and walk across the street. Extra rail service begins about two hours before each game, and continues after the game as long as needed. RTA urges customers to buy a $4.00 All-Day Pass, which provides unlimited rides until 3 a.m. All-Day Passes are available where you pay your fare, or online. Please have exact change. Are members of your team age 6-12? Buy an All-Day Child’s Pass. Up to three children, age 6-12, pay $1.75 each for unlimited travel, when accompanied by an adult paying regular fare.
