Visitor & Driver Tips

- Know Your Height: Always verify your vehicle height before entry, as overhead clearance is strictly limited in underground garage structures.
- Arrive Early: During high-attendance events, allow for extra time as local street traffic can become heavy; arriving at least 45 minutes before your event start time is highly recommended.
- Check Rates: Pricing may be subject to surge or event-day flat rates; verify the official rate posted at the garage entrance if you are not using a pre-booked mobile reservation.
