East Downtown fan district: rail, walk, or Leeland pickup
Pick one East Downtown approach before leaving: Green/Purple rail, the signed downtown walk, or the Leeland rideshare edge.

Best move
For East Downtown, use Green or Purple Line service to EaDo / Stadium Station when rail fits. If you are already downtown, the signed Discovery Green/Rusk/Walker walk and the Leeland/St. Emanuel rideshare edge solve different visitor jobs, so choose the entrance and exit before the group is in the crowd.
Route moves
Rail
Green and Purple Line service reaches EaDo / Stadium Station. Red Line riders can transfer at Central Station before continuing east.
Downtown walk
The host access page describes the Discovery Green/Rusk/Walker route as signed, shaded, ADA accessible, and about 12 minutes to the Walker entrance.
Rideshare edge
The listed rideshare lot is 2011 Leeland Street near Leeland and St. Emanuel, about seven minutes from the Polk entrance.
Light bag
Current fan-district guidance lists bag screening and a 12 x 12 x 6 inch bag-size limit, with no-bag express lanes when offered.
Decision cards
Families and calmer groups
Use the downtown walk or rail when it gives the group a clear meeting point, shade plan, and exit path.
Food and entertainment
Public visitor guidance supports food categories, entertainment, misting, water, shaded areas, and Houston Hall as useful planning facts; daily performers still need recheck.
Clean-zone awareness
CBD, EaDo/East End, Galleria, and NRG Park clean zones are active from June 11 through July 19, so treat curb and street edges as alert-driven.
Re-check day-of
Entrance
Choose Walker or Polk before leaving, then match it to rail, the Discovery Green walk, or the Leeland pickup edge.
Programming
Recheck daily operating windows, performers, food-vendor hours, weather, and entry notes before treating any listing as current.
Street-use
Check city street-use records and METRO alerts before relying on a curb, walk route, or pickup point.
