CLEVELAND -- Woof woof! It's Browns time and the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) is the best way to get to the game.
If you are heading to FirstEnergy Stadium for a Cleveland Browns football game this fall, your first stop should be free parking at many Rapid stations. Then, buy an All-Day Pass for $5. It sure beats searching for high-priced parking.
All games are all served by RTA's Waterfront Line trains, which connect with all Rapid lines at Tower City.

- Park free at many of RTA’s Rapid stations.
