If you’re gearing up to see The Rolling Stones tonight, here’s everything you need to know to ensure you have a night of ‘Satisfaction.’ The legendary band is set to perform at First Energy Stadium, and Cleveland’s Summer Safety Plan is in full swing to make sure the event goes off without a hitch.
The gates will open at 6 p.m., with the concert kicking off at 8 p.m. If you’re planning to use public transportation, the Cleveland Police Department has shared some useful tips. The RTA is offering $5 rides to the concert, making it a convenient option for many. However, if you decide to drive, be aware of several road closures. East 9th Street at Lakeside Avenue and East 9th Street exits and entrances from Route 2 will be closed starting at 5:30 p.m. Additionally, West 3rd Street at Summit Northbound will be closed from 4 p.m. Other road closures may occur to ensure pedestrian safety.
Parking downtown comes with its own set of rules and restrictions. The Willard Park Garage on Lakeside Avenue will be open, charging $20 for parking. The Muni Lot will open at 1 p.m. and will charge $40 for parking. Cleveland police have issued several reminders for those using the Muni Lot: no drones, no open pit fires, propane grills only, no alcohol, and no saving spaces. You will be charged for all parking spaces you occupy, and there are no in/out privileges. All litter must be disposed of in trash containers, and vandalism will not be tolerated. Crossing the Shoreway is prohibited, and no private latrines are allowed. Lanes must remain clear of activity at all times, and large vehicles like motorhomes, RVs, and buses are not permitted before designated start times.
If your vehicle gets towed, all associated fines and fees must be paid at the One Stop Vehicle Impound Center located at 3040 Quigley Road. Cleveland police are working around the clock to ensure a safe and enjoyable weekend for everyone. If you see something suspicious, please report it. The non-emergency number for the Cleveland Division of Police is 216-621-1234.
