Bike valet is free.
The corral sits just north of the stadium, south of Isabella Street past the left field wall of Rocky Miller Park.
Hand your bike to an attendant with your mobile number, and a text becomes your claim check: no paper ticket to lose. Prefer not to text? Ask for a reusable tag. On your way out, reply to the text and your bike will be waiting near the entrance.
Helmets can be stored with your bike; backpacks cannot. Dockless Divvy e-bikes park in a designated area immediately south of the valet.
