The stadium is at 550 Taylor Ave, and parking is available daily there, with shuttles running during most major events (usnabsd.com). Drivers using the stadium enter through Gate 5 off Taylor Avenue (navalacademytourism.com).

Garages and Stadium Parking Near USNA
The Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium is the main named event alternative, with daily parking and event shuttles listed by Naval Academy Business Services (usnabsd.com). Its entrance is through Gate 5 from Taylor Avenue, giving event drivers a defined approach rather than searching around the academy perimeter (navalacademytourism.com).
Other named options include the State Garage at 19 St. John's Street and Whitmore Garage at 37 Clay Street. The State Garage offers free parking from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Friday and all day on weekends, while Whitmore Garage offers free parking on Sundays (annapolis.gov). A separate local parking guide lists a $3 to $4 stadium fee during the week and special events (princegeorgeshousedelegation.com).
Street Parking Rules Around the Venue
City Dock meters provide a limited visitor option, with two-hour parking meters listed alongside garages and stadium parking in the official visitor guidance (usna.edu).
Vehicle access to the academy is not allowed for general public visitation, tours and USNA special events, while pedestrian access is regularly allowed (usnabsd.com). Drivers should therefore plan for parking outside the grounds and approach the venue on foot, particularly when event traffic is directed toward the stadium or garages.

The official visitor guidance also identifies City Dock as a parking area with two-hour meters (usna.edu).
During most major events, shuttles run from the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, located at 550 Taylor Ave (usnabsd.com). Pedestrian access is regularly allowed for general public visitation, tours and special events, while vehicle access is not allowed (usnabsd.com). This makes the stadium shuttle and the walk from nearby parking practical ways to complete the final approach.
