Driving to World Cup Fan Fest? You can park at these garages and take a shuttle

Kansas City is offering another option for soccer fans to attend the FIFA 2026 World Cup Fan Festival.

Connect KC26, the local World Cup committee’s transportation network, has organized bus routes for attendees to catch a ride to Fan Fest, the Truman Sports Complex for World Cup matches at Arrowhead Stadium, Royals games at Kauffman Stadium and other places around the metro.

The city has added another option, likely aimed at local attendees who would like to drive and park during the soccer celebration festivities.

Through the city’s parking system, Park KC, fans can park in two city-owned garages and take a shuttle to Fan Fest at the National WWI Museum and Memorial.

Buses will take riders straight to Fan Fest from the West Bottoms garage, 1601 State Line Road, and the newly-opened Jazz District garage, 1819 Lydia Avenue, on the 18 days Fan Fest will be active. Shuttles will start two hours before activities begin and run up to one hour after activities finish.
