For the second season, you can park for a good cause at a Pensacola Blue Wahoos game. The Community Maritime Park Associates and the City of Pensacola Parks and Recreation Department announced details for the Volunteer Parking Program. The effort helps nonprofits fundraise by providing parking to fans at one of the Wahoos' 14, five-game stands this summer. [sidebar] Game Day Traffic Details — One hour before game time until the first pitch is thrown, Main Street traffic will be slowed and controlled by the Pensacola Police Department at the intersections of Devilliers, Reus and Spring streets. — One-way traffic will enter the stadium lot from Main Street onto Devilliers. Reus and Spring streets will be one way traffic only with no exit onto Main Street from Reus. — Be prepared for traffic delays in this area on game days. Questions about parking?
